New Release
Forum member m2 introduces a new Greubel Forsey timepiece, sparking a lively discussion among collectors. This article delves into the community's initial reactions, focusing on the watch's design, wearability, and horological substance. Readers will gain insights into what makes this particular Greubel Forsey model a significant release in the independent watchmaking landscape.
The Chronomètre à Résonance represents F.P. Journe's entry in the Souveraine collection, distinguished by its resonance complication. This reference utilizes the principle of resonance between two independent escapements to enhance chronometric precision.
The 40mm case is crafted in 18k rose gold with a fixed bezel and sapphire crystal. The silver dial houses the manual-winding caliber 1499 movement, offering a 42-hour power reserve. Water resistance is rated to 30 meters, and the watch is completed with a leather strap.
This reference appeals to collectors focused on haute horlogerie complications and independent watchmaking. The resonance mechanism positions this piece as a technical showcase within F.P. Journe's manual-winding offerings. Production began in 2000, establishing this as part of the brand's contemporary catalog for collectors seeking advanced chronometric functions.
Just dont like the 15 on the dial
Nice finish. Priced quite high but coming with more horological substance and refinement than the RM’s imho.
...if the crystal adds height it is a mistake, as the watch is finally 'thin' when many of these indy brands are a bit on the thick side. Edit...just checked out the Hodinkee article. It looks a LOT thicker than what is listed.
