A discussion of luxury watches, watchmaking, and style with Tim and Bart Grönefeld, the horological brothers of The Netherlands. This recording covers the brothers’ early years in a watchmaking family, formal training, and their development of today’s Grönefeld watches. Watch collectors will hear the Grönefelds' philosophy of watch design, evolution of case sizing, and the challenges of running a luxury watch brand during the pandemic era.
Tim and Bart began their careers in The Netherlands before stops in Switzerland and the United Kingdom. In 1998, they moved back to Holland to build watches under their own name in their family's historic watchmaking shop. Late 2008 witnessed the launch of ther first Grönefeld watch, the GTM-06 with tourbillon with minute repeater.
Since 2008, Tim and Bart Grönefeld have launched the One Hertz, the Parallax Tourbillon the 1941 Remontoir, the 1941 Principia Automatic, and the 10th anniversary Decennium Tourbillon. In this video, the Grönefelds hint that more watch models, a larger watchmaking workshop, and bolder designs will arrive in the near future.
Hobbies including cars and watch collecting also are mentioned.

Awesome interview Tim, the Grönefeld brother are one of those watchmaking magicians. I love their Remointiore 1941 watch.
“Our watches have a soul”.....so true. I love my 1941 Remontoir, I stare at it all the time.
70 watches per year - that’s exclusivity. Four Gronefeld watches are available on Chrono24, starting at $58,000. Thanks for bringing us this interview Tim and WatchBox!

But people would rather by a $500k RM. Can't buy taste.
"Tick Tock" and "Ding Dong"...priceless!
These interviews are an absolute joy. Thanks, Tim!
The Bros are fun guys, go to a watchmaking event and have a beer with them. And the watches are incredible. I'm looking forward to new model
Tim jumped right in with a hardball question.
Great interview! Thanks Tim. 70 watches per year, man!!! That's true independent horology exclusivity!
Hit the nail right on the head! The internet, if not the olny factor in the rise of independent watch brands it is without doubt the dominant factor. Before things like KZread, people had to dig around and find these brands. Not having the same marketing infrastructure as the groups.
Where do you see yourselves in 5 years: "More colleagues, more clients and better internet connection" ;) Nice interview! :)
high quality content, tim! the grönefeld brothers are a cool bunch!
Fantastic interview! The horological brothers are amazing.
Awesome insights into the challenges faced by independents - balancing demand with integrity
Finally ! Special episode ! ❤️
One of the best looking movements I’ve seen, maybe only matched by ALS. Would be very lucky to own one some day! 🤞
Great interview Tim
sorry , bad english , yr painting reminds me of my brothers pieces , as a colourist , acrylic, oils, marble dust, paper machete , etc,........his work influenced by artists in Spain in the 60’s...love the BROTHERS GRONEFELD
We gotta get another interview/video with the gronefeld brothers someday
Thanks, what a great interview!
Gronefeld has beautiful movement 😍👌❤
Limited production and high demand would make advertising ludicrous. I can only fantasize about owning one of their watches.
Such awesome guys
Timepiece royalty
