Gronefeld do not make theirs. AP and VC call on other movement makers occasionally. PP has a long history of using movements from other makers.
The movements were designed by LF and produced exclusively for LF. If everything was made in house I think they would be in the 75 to 125,000 price range, for a time only watch. Based on other watches in the market.

I would prefer if everything by a brand was done in-house but that’s not realistic for most of them. It’s also cost prohibitive for both many consumers and the brands themselves. I think the Principia is fairly priced for what you get. Yea it’s not made in-house but the finishing is just amazing and I think it’s worth every penny. Some may disagree but I didn’t struggle with buying one just because it was made elsewhere. Laurent Ferrier is similar I but I just prefer Gronefeld overall and other brands in the same price range.
