The Grönefeld family has an impressive history when it comes to watchmaking, with a legacy that dates back more than a century. The story began in 1912, thanks to Johan Grönefeld, and has since been passed down through three generations. Today, the horological brothers Bart and Tim Grönefeld are at the helm, and they are dedicated to creating beautiful timepieces with unique mechanisms that are truly world-class. Their commitment to excellence is evident in every watch they produce, and it is clear that the Grönefeld name is synonymous with quality and craftsmanship.
The Horological Brothers have yet again recently been recognised for their exceptional craftsmanship. The 1941 Grönograaf, a remarkable timepiece, has earned the Chronograph category Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Genève award, marking the duo’s third GPHG win. Their previous victories in 2014 and 2016 in the Tourbillon and Men’s Watch categories, respectively, attest to their unwavering commitment to excellence. The Grönefeld family’s legacy in watchmaking is genuinely remarkable, and their latest recognition is well-deserved.

The Horological Brothers had never made a chronograph… until 2022. The GPHG award-winning 1941 Grönograaf is a classic chronograph, but consistent with the Grönefeld ethos, it incorporates several ingenious details. Discover – among other things – the ‘soft reset’ mechanism.
This 1941 Grönograaf is a wealth of knowledge of three generations of watchmaking. The professional journeys of both Horological Brothers and their extraordinary passion for horology are manifested in the Grönograaf.
