Happy Cinco de Mayo! I hope everyone is celebrating safely today. Let's ensure no incidents happen to our beloved WatchCrunch family. Over the last few days, my Grönefeld Principia has been nothing short of spectacular. The detailed design of the lugs and case profile continues to captivate me. This watch truly celebrates the finer details—every element reflects the meticulous care Bart & Tim Grönefeld have poured into its creation.

While some may question the price of such a seemingly straightforward three-hander, it's the subtle intricacies and craftsmanship that reveal its true value. This timepiece is definitely for the connoisseur; you need to have a deep appreciation for hand-finishing, as that's where much of the labor and artistry are concentrated.

Once you recognize all the effort that went into its making, you understand what makes this watch genuinely exceptional. #independantwatchmaking #gronefeldbrothers #dutchmade #handmade #watchmaking #redgold #goldgiousfever #aurummadness #preciousmetalpsychosis
