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.
