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 […]

Greubel Forsey Grande Sonnerie Watch
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 […]
Greubel Forsey Balancier Watch
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 […]
Greubel Forsey Double Balancier À Différentiel Constant Watch Hands-On
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 Double Tourbillon Technique Sapphire Watch Hands-On
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 […]
Greubel Forsey Signature 1 Limited Edition Steel Blue For USA & Red Gold Watches Hands-On
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 Tourbillon 24 Secondes Edition Historique Watch Hands-On

Greubel Forsey Signature 1 Watch Hands-On
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 […]
