Gronefeld 1941 Principia Salmon SS Silver Dial

The Gronenfeld 1941 Principia Salmon in stainless steel stands as a modern darling among the world's leading independent watch collectors. Featuring a striking solid sterling silver salmon dial, this piece is an elegant representation of Gronenfeld's exceptional finishing and technical sophistication. Introduced as part of the 1941 Principia line, the watch houses an automatic movement composed of 226 meticulously finished components, including a uni-directional winding mechanism driven by a 22k solid gold full-sized rotor. The 39.5mm case—available here in noble white gold—reflects the impeccable proportions and refined design cues of the Gronenfeld brothers. A sapphire caseback reveals the movement's sumptuous hand-finishing techniques, which have set benchmarks in the industry. This model’s limited availability and the artisanal nature of its construction make it a deeply desirable collectible for connoisseurs focused on haute horlogerie. With only a handful of pieces produced annually, each 1941 Principia remains a testament to cutting-edge independent watchmaking. The salmon dial variation, in particular, stands out for its warmth and understated originality. Collectors value not only the superior mechanics but also the principled restraint in design.
