Gronefeld vs Voutilainen
With all the talk by Karl and Arnaud about Voutilainen and my previous interests earlier on--- I was really considering one of his pieces for myself. I also have had interest in Gronefeld and admired their work as well. I realize there is a past history between the two. So now I have become more serious about one or the other.. and please do not say both.. If i were to go with Vouitlainen I would likely go for a variant of the Vingt 8 or Vingt 8-power reserve. I love the piece Karl purchased and has a separate thread. With Gronefeld would go with Bespoke 1941 Remontoire.
I am including some stock photos but let me summarize what I prefer for each Gronefeld 1. Prefer the lug design 2. Remontoire motor wheel on the front is different and cool 3. More interesting and attractive movement 4. Can get in steel my preferred metal 5. Limited edition n=188 movements produced Voutilainen 1. More dial design choices 2. Possible to get PR indicator 3. Prefer numerals on the dial 4. Simpler movement and likely easier to repair if needed (Arnaud brought up) |
