MY BROTHER ’ S ( TIME ) KEEPER
GRÖNEFELD Tim & Bart Grönefeld may not be household names , but like a few other exceptional examples of horological savoir faire , the Grönefeld Remontiore will impress anyone who takes the time to look closely . The simple façade only hints at what lies beneath by way of the remontoire regulator at nine o ’ clock . This regulator stabilizes the power to the escapement while the remontoire that feeds the assembly is re-energized every eight seconds . When curiosity demands you look more closely , the view of the movement from the reverse side is nothing less than a mechanical masterpiece that will keep your eye in the loupe until you ’ ve imbibed every square millimeter of the stunning masterpiece . Only 188 of these will be made over the coming years , and at about $ 50,000 it might actually be one of the best values in high watchmaking .
