Grönefeld Boutique Grand Opening Declared A Success!
Last week we told you about the upcoming grand opening of the new, independent watch maker specialist, Grönefeld Boutique located in Oldenzaal, Holland. Well, the grand opening took place over the weekend just past and it was a huge success, to say the least. A number of enthusiasts took full advantage of the opportunity to meet some of their favorite watch makers and to handle their exclusive timepieces.
As previously announced Peter Speake-Marin, John and Stephen Mc Gonigle and Kees Engelbarts were all on hand, along with proprietors Bart and Tim Grönefeld, to welcome the dozens of watch enthusiasts and members of the press who braved the snow and ice for their first glance at Holland’s newest luxury watch boutique. Even the Mayor of Oldenzaal, Mr Frans Backhuijs, was present to officially open the shop at 11 o'clock.
On the day before the official opening, Grönefeld held their Press day which culminated in an impromptu go-kart competition in the evening with participants including John McGonigle, Peter Speake-Marin, Bart and Tim Grönefeld, most of their staff and members of the press. Racing on the snow with slick tires the poor conditions did limit the top speeds but nonetheless it was a very keen competition enjoyed by all.
If you do find yourself even remotely close to Holland you owe it to yourself to check out the new Grönefeld Boutique. Exemplary service and exclusive independent timepieces are guaranteed, although hi-speed go-karting sadly at this stage is not scheduled to be a regular occurrence!

Thanks Robert-Jan, I wish I could have been there too! From what I’ve heard and seen it really was a great success
Tom, if you ever attend an opening of a high-end watch boutique, please show the new boutique owners this post. All i can say is that it was an absolute pleasure to be present during the go-karting, BBQ and beer drinking
Especially if it is with a few of the world’s best watchmakers of these times! Everyone enjoyed the %$#& out of it
