Independents

I uploaded this story to my personal Facebook first, therefore there are some personal references. 1540 words. Yesterday I had the great pleasure of visiting my favorite watchmakers. Bart Grönefeld and Tim Grönefeld . As most of you know I’m a Dutch guy a...  

Since I managed to see the 1941 in the metal late last year I've been a big fan. This new addition looks very attractive also. Hopefully you will share more of you own collection at some point.

Hi there! Thank you for the great compliment. I will write a nice introduction post soon and of course I will share stories and pictures of my current state of the private collection. On my private Instagram account I have most of my collection shown. Fee... 

The Principia looks very interesting. A superb automatic movement, a nice case and a pleasant choice of dials. Even if the rotor is nicely decorated, I almost regret its presence, due to the fact that it hides the beautiful movement. It is a watch I will ... 

It’s well done, but I wish it wasn’t there at all. The movement is so beautiful. It deserves to be seen with obstruction.

Great write up of your personal experience, hope to see you more often on the forum!

Always a pleasure to see such beautiful creations. Best, Vte

Why is Grönefeld's logo on the rotor an M with an umlat? Wait, is it an M with eyebrows?

Who thats a impressive first post 👌🏻 also beautiful pics too . Tim And Bart are indeed one of the nicest watchmakers around imho . There watches are amazing , Dutchpride 🙏🏻

For the great article about your experience and impressions! Extremely well done, and welcome!

Hope you will enjoy yourself around here. But I don't think that will be a problem ;-)

I especially like the lacquer dial in white metal, it gives it a very different look. Of course the salmon dial is gorgeous with that finish and applied indices.

Great article and photos! The brothers are awesome to hang out with and their watches are just out of this world! Best Blomman

And the accompanying photographs. Grönefeld watches are truly instant classics! I’m hopping to read more reviews from you soon. Best regards. René

Salmon for me please 👍

welcome to PuristPro and you did some reaaly cool shots of the new model. I love the Salmon version, not only because of the color, but because it is very Grönefeld. The light blue version is as gorgeous and very interesting to see the first automatic cal...

A very warm welcome Koen! Your journey in getting to know the Gronefelds is not too dissimilar to mine as I too visited Ekaterina at the Ekso Watch Gallery but I must confess prior to that I had met Bart and Tim at Basel and again at the SIHH. Few will ar... 

You can all expect to see more articles from me over here.

The new Gronefeld Principia is one of the watch which I am considering for my next big purchase. I really enjoyed reading your informative post and the beautiful photos!😊👍🏻

I'm currently in the process of consolidating my private collection in order to be able to place an order for this magnificent artwork.

Bravo and welcome!

From pics alone, I like the Roman numerals on the cream lacquered dial the most.

From the pics alone, I like the new cream lacquered dial with Roman numerals. That font type for their name is really nice.

...get rid of all extraneous type. Reduce logo by at least 20%. Now we're talking...
