Gronefeld Remontoire 1941 - Pics & Video

A friend of mine recently picked up this watch and I couldn't pass on the opportunity to get some photographs and videos of it. I'm absolutely stunned by the level of craftsmanship on this piece. Each element (case, dial, movement, etc) tends to have interesting design and finishing cues that become obvious the more you look at it, and I'm envious of all the Gronefeld owners for being part of this awesome journey for a relatively new brand.

I figured some of you might enjoy these photographs,

Thank you! The current owner loves it dearly. And I get to shoot it, which is an added bonus.

Maybe we'll see something a bit more affordable eventually?

Hopefully there will be more interesting pieces from the brand in the future.

That's a small world! The owner of this watch loves it, and I'm a big fan too. You have excellent taste and picked a wonderful dial
