Lot Essay

Founded by the Dutch brothers Bart and Tim, Grönefeld is among the artisanal watch brands that focus on hand-finished and hand-assembled movements that sprung up in the late 1990s. According to a 2021 report in The New York Times, the artisanal brand has an annual production of around 70 watches.

The 1941 Principia Automatic is offered in a selection of dials, all crafted from solid sterling silver. Options include a cream lacquered dial with Roman numerals, a matte turquoise or light blue dial with applied baton hour markers, and rhodium-plated or gold-plated salmon dials.

The watch is housed in the 1941 case, named after Sjef Grönefeld. The case is available in red gold, white gold, or stainless steel. A sapphire case back provides a view of the hand-finished movement, with stainless steel bridges and a 22K solid gold oscillating weight.

Preserved in like-new condition and with its full set of accessories, the present Grönefeld 1941 Principia Automatic combines traditional craftsmanship with modern design.
