Yes, the salmon dial appears in a variety of colors under different lighting conditions
Gronefeld 1941 Remontoire
This is a watch that won the top Men's Watch category at the Grand Prix d'Horlogerie de Geneve (GPHG) in 2016. The timepiece was inspired by a church clock in the village of Asten in Odenzaal, Netherlands, near the border with Germany, where the brothers ...
One of the most mesmersing movements ever created
so yes many will like the watch worn upside down even with a Kari dial!
A true masterpiece and gorgeous watch .
I really enjoy this Salmon dial and even considered a Kari dial when I ordered mine but i am just in love with this even and early dial . Looking forward to see your update. My 1941 says hi ...

While I do think the salmon dial is a very nice one, I do also understand, why you want to exchange it for a Kari dial. After the tourbillon and the principia, I'm really looking forward to the next "completely new" watch of the brothers.
This board does have a really high density of Grönefeld watches ...
the kari dial is undeniably gorgeous.
Looking forward to your choice of Kari. I asked for enamel but the brother said it is not possible so I am staying Salmon for now
Gorgeous
It’s a gorgeous watch. Being from Oldenzaal myself I’ve been very tempted to acquire one but I swerved to another brand. However one day I’ll get such a watch. You mentioned to “upgrade” the dial. Forgive me for being bold but you’ve got the absolute best...
Haha....so you are close to the scene
Wonder what you picked... In my mind, they make very nice watches....the Tourbillon, the Principia and of course, the One Hertz
Sure
In the end I swerved towards Vacheron. Although the remontoir and the connection with Oldenzaal (my son was born there and baptist in the church where the Gronefeld family has been the clock keepers for generations) and the incredible pure craftsmanship o...
Aah I love VC
IMHO VC is the most innovative of the three King. I admire it more then the other 2 King.
I opted for the One Hertz
As my Gronefeld representative. But all of their watches are exquisite. I can’t wait to see what’s new for them. ...
My impression is that the One Hertz is indeed
preferred by many watch connoisseurs. The whole concept and design are fascinating. My only reservation is that at 43 mm, it is a little too big for my wrist as a dress watch...
Wonderful
Movement shots. This is a grail watch for me and I think they have the best salmon dials in the business!
Absolutely delightful !
Excellent review with superb photos of a great watch. Your « Reverso » pics are awesome 👍🤩🤩
Thank you Mike for your kind words
It was my friend's idea....he suggested that I wear the watch upside down
As other have said, can't get enough of the movement on this one
I particularly like the grey/gold/purple color contrasts!
Judging from the amount of time
My photographer friend spent on this piece, he was most impressed with this watch as well...
Ah, the 1941! Thank you for your write up. It’s a great piece mechanically and aesthetically! The salmon is my favorite color dial.
I worked with the brothers to do a Kari dial in that color, but it was too orange. In the end, I decided to go with the very same piece you have!
