Ronaldo continues his world tour with DP World Tour Championship—signing autographs mid-round and just being his joyful, generous self.

Ronaldo wears the Grönefeld 1941 Grönograaf in tantalum (one of 25).

The Dutch “Horological Brothers”—and Renaud & Papi alumni—Bart and Tim Grönefeld first presented the prototype Grönograaf at the 2022 edition of Watches & Wonders. Their creation was an instant sensation, and it lived up to the promise: the first series, executed in 25 tantalum pieces, was quickly sold out and the piece went on to win the prize for the best “Chronograph Watch” at @gphg_official—the Oscars of the horological world—before the end of year!

Beyond the distinctive instrument-like aesthetics of its asymmetric dial that finds a most pleasant balance between classical inspiration and contemporary edge, the Grönograaf stands out with its innovative “soft reset” mechanism.

The innovation actually takes its place in the unique constellation of the dial—at the traditional 4 o’clock, at 5 vis-à-vis the off-set time-telling dial—in the form of a centrifugal governor exhibited.

With its two solid gold weights, the operation of the governor would be an otherwise familiar sight from minute repeaters where it sets the pace of the chime. Here it acts to slow down the reset function of the chronograph. And thanks to the heart-shaped cams for the counter hands, they return to their initial position by moving clockwise or counter-clockwise. With ruby-jeweler hammers, every detail ot the movement is oriented towards lessening the impact on its components. Those components are further ennobled with an high-horological treatment; cal. G-04 is a traditional column-wheel movement with lateral coupling with impeccably finished components organized around an arrow-headed and mirror-polished bridge, which is distinctive in its elongated, slender beauty.

The 30-minute totalizer is situated at 6 o’clock; it counts the minutes with an instantaneously-jumping hand for an easy read-off. The subdial also features the unique number of the watch in the series.
