Gronefeld 1941 Principia

Written by Rajeel Zafar 

​​Hailing from the small town of Oldenzaal, the ‘Horological Brothers’ Bart and Tim Gronefeld carry on their family’s legacy of exceptional Dutch watchmaking. Perhaps their most notable masterpiece, the 1941 Principia, speaks to the intricate craftsmanship, creativity, and fine attention to detail that defines their family tradition.   

​Featuring a striking ice blue dial made of sterling silver, extended lancette hands, and a blue stitched buffalo leather strap, the Principia is stunning to look at. Housing a hand assembled movement comprised of their famous steel bridges and a 22K Gold oscillating weight, this watch is an expression of great horological mastery and design.
