I appreciate the unusual layouts of GF watches...

...and especially the amazing finishing. But they leave me cold for a couple of reasons. The first is the size...they are HUGE. They are THICK. I can't imagine wearing most of their models on a 7.25" wrist.


I give them a pass on the prices as one man's $200k is another man's $20k...let the market decide.

I would, however, love to see GF tackle a thin, moderately-sized, simple dress watch. That would be interesting to see...

hey, what you guys think, I have my own opinion about it but I was wondering about yours images are from AB2W ...  

Superbly intricate

But I am not buying. There are more technically ingenious yet also gorgeous and fine.

I think the construction of the hour and minute hands are quite revolutionary...

The whole floating time telling mechanisms is very cool! I can see it could be used in another complication by GF/different brand on how would they build a complication then show it off on the dial, for example, inversed datograph in which on the front yo...  

Despite all the wonderful features....

I think it's great

Not just this watch but the fact that Greubel Forsey is willing to make a "Sports Watch" at this price level and have to accept the consequences if someone takes it for a swim and it leaks.

It's cool, but different. [nt]

I'm disappointed

there ware already quite some time a rumor a sports watch from GF was coming I don't see a sports watch here, just another GF with a strange shape. I was expecting something simple on a bracelet

Very nice piece but don’t like all the words engraved on the bezel

Would rather have them on the case back. As if someone is showing off

I think this looks amazing. [nt]

yes you're right, it also made me think about the 11:59

 
 By: TylerDurden : December 7th, 2019-07:51
but no, there's something more obvious to me about another brand, sure you can see, or maybe I'm the only on who got this feeling.

Nope, RM deja vu. :) [nt]

exactly!!

I'm very divided about that piece, I love it, I think it is a wonderful watch BUT on the other side I'm very disappointed everybody (even GF) want to make RM watches, if you look at it, the shape is not round but barrel, only the bezel over make it look r... 

I know what you were getting at, RM, as it’s been said elsewhere. I don’t see it really, and I don’t see how this is a “RM watch”.

Perhaps if the watch was in a tourneau case, but as is I just don’t see it. I would also add that at least now, with a sports watch, GF have justified those gigantic cases!

sorry to disagree but the case shape is a tonneau

 
 By: TylerDurden : December 7th, 2019-13:14
but anyway, we have different opinions and that is great, and don't misunderstand me, I like this watch very much, I'm only questioning about the genesis of that piece and to me they wanted to look like a RM. ...  

You act as if tonneau shaped watches did not exist before RM...

Sure, they dominate this category, but they were not the first. They just went out of there way to make it theirs. IMO, this watch doesn't at all strike me as anything near to an RM, only like a new GF. Too bad that they disappointed you but in time perha... 

LOVE!
