More than two years later, the Grönefeld siblings have yet to budge on re-opening new orders, but that doesn’t mean they haven’t been busy introducing new watches and variants for their existing base of retailers and collectors. That’s exactly what happened in January 2022, when New York’s Cellini Jewelers – a longtime retail stronghold for independent watchmakers in the United States – announced that they had collaborated with Grönefeld on a small run of 12 watches in the time-only 1941 Principia Automatic collection, exclusively for existing Cellini clientele.
The 1941 Principia Automatic was the simplest Grönefeld watch ever when it was first introduced in October 2018 – it has no remontoire, no tourbillon, and no deadbeat seconds. It’s a simple two-handed watch with small seconds, featuring a highly decorated self-winding movement. It was Grönefeld’s attempt at creating the perfect daily driver for their collectors. The only difference with 1941 Principia Automatic for Cellini? Its everyday-wear ability was enhanced by an out-of-this-world material - a dark-grey slice of Gibeon meteorite with a Widmanstätten pattern.
Gibeon is a massive iron-ore meteorite that fell to Earth in prehistoric times in what is today the Republic of Namibia. The meteorite deposit is world-famous for its unique crystal structure, which results in the famous Widmanstätten pattern, a series of long interweaving bands that catch the light in all sorts of ways and ensure every dial is completely unique.
Presented in unworn condition from the original owner's collection, the present Principia Special Edition is the first of its kind to appear at auction.
