Greubel Forsey is a cult brand for the initiated, for those who pursue the very highest echelons of watchmaking. Their debut back in 2005 made an unequivocal mission statement as they unveiled a double tourbillon inclined at a 30º angle, only to be followed by their near-decadent quadruple tourbillon. And yet, while their prices do not […]
At SIHH 2017, ultra-high-end Swiss watchmaker Greubel Forsey will debut a timepiece that they reportedly spent 11 years “researching and developing.” It isn’t just a musical chiming watch, but also an automatic. Fans of the brand and other makers of high-end complications are sure to agree that the Greubel Forsey Grande Sonnerie watch is going […]
If there’s one complication that’s been a signature of Greubel Forsey watches, it’s the tourbillon. This is exactly why the Double Balancier watch from a couple of years ago was so striking, as it was their first watch to not feature a tourbillon – and we didn’t mind that at all. New for 2017 is the Greubel Forsey Balancier […]
Cliché alert: sometimes you have to break some rules to be able to achieve what you want. The Greubel Forsey Double Balancier à Différentiel Constant does just that, as it sacrifices some basic principles – like good legibility between, well, 4 and 10 o’clock – in favor of highlighting some mind-bogglingly complicated and eye-wateringly beautiful […]
Greubel Forsey typically launches its novelties during the SIHH watch salon in Geneva, but they chose the Baselworld stage to present the latest addition to their Art Piece collection.

Joining the sapphire-cased transparence craze today is the Greubel Forsey Double Tourbillon Technique Sapphire, a limited run of just 8 pieces which wrap one of the master watchmaker duo’s most impressive calibers into a sapphire sandwich. Haute horlogerie may still be a great deal about intricate finishing and age-old complications, but some of the more modern players […]
In this article are two versions of the limited-edition Greubel Forsey Signature 1 watch that we originally debuted earlier in 2016 here. You might recall that the Signature 1 is the most accessibly priced watch that Greubel Forsey currently produces. All that really means is that it has a sub $200,000 price. Still, it is […]
Greubel Forsey is one of the biggest names in the highest levels of haute horology. The brand is renowned for its asymmetric cases, tourbillons, and superlative levels of finishing. In 2007, Greubel Forsey released its first Tourbillon 24 Secondes Asymétrique watch, which was notable for its asymmetric case and inclined tourbillon which made a revolution every 24 […]
Simple, approachable, steel. These are not words I would have readily used to describe a watch from Greubel Forsey before this year’s SIHH watch fair in Geneva. With the announcement of their latest creation, the Greubel Forsey Signature 1, they have packaged their penchant for animation and their top tier finishing into a wearable, ultra high-end time-only […]

It is similar to previous Art […]
