- While known for complications like tourbillons, dead-beat and remontoire movements, Grönefeld’s 1941 Principia was released in 2018 as their first time-only wristwatch.
- Extremely well-made like their more complicated timepieces, the brand gave buyers the opportunity to choose the colour of the solid sterling silver dial with options in light blue, turquoise, cream, and most attractive of all, salmon like the present timepiece.
- The 1941 Principia was named for the birth year of the founders’ father, and Sir Isaac Newton’s “Philosophiæ Naturalis Principia Mathematica”, which is appropriate given their desire for excellence in precision timing. Featuring a completely original in-house movement with stainless-steel hand-bevelled bridges replicating the facades of the Dutch bell gables houses, the design pays homage to the Netherlands homeland of the Grönefeld brothers.
- The automatic caliber with the same name as the model features exceptional hand finishing, with an extensively hand-decorated 22 karat solid red gold monobloc rotor. Rotating on ceramic ball bearings, the rotor’s design prevents wear and eliminates the need for lubrication. The 1941 Principia was offered in pink and white gold, as well as stainless steel.
- Very well-preserved by the original owner, the watch is complete with all of its accessories and is an excellent opportunity for fans of independent watchmaking to acquire a Principia no longer in production.
