Gronefeld gets my vote. It feels different/special compared to any other watch I've ever owned. You can see the amount of manual man hours going into the finished product.

I feel for the price point they can not be beat. The Bros appear to be very genuine and down to earth artists who let their magnificent work speak for themselves.

The public announcement to close their lists and encourage collectors try other indies really speaks volumes about their character and was a class move.

There is a reason the great Kari Voutilainen wanted to collaborate with them on the 1941 Rementoire and has one in his collection.

Comparing it to my CB, the CB doesn't even stand a chance. It looks juvenile compared to the Groney. Movement is on ALS level. Future is definitely bright.

Having owned a Zeitwerk + Principia...movement is, IMO, 100% a step up from ALS :)

To me, this is a no brainer. LF Cal dial by a wide margin.
