Independents

Greubel Forsey made their debut at SIHH opposite one other debutant. Being only 9 months since last years Basel Fair, there were not quite the fireworks from last March. However, Robert and Stephen never disappoint and this SIHH was no exception. There we... 

Alright, I will admit from the off, that this was my favourite. I have made no secret of the fact that the 24 second tourbillon is a mechanical marvel. The speed of rotation is mesmerizing and the offset against the slower seconds hand is hypnotic. What m...

Andrew, I can admit to admiration for the microengineering explained by G-F. Well, at least for the Forsey part because I've never met the Gruebel portion of the partnership. I can relate to the scientific testing of hypotheses with reproducible test cond... 

that it may lead to ideas as yet unseen, and this is R&D capital. It is difficult to separate out what can be printed and what cannot (without giving away all your R&D for free) - think of it as if it was a pharmaceutical company! What I do know i... 

Once again, the same watch as released in Basel, but with a different case. The relief on the dial works better with the slightly darker white metal, and as before, to be produced in 11 pieces. Why 11? ‘1’ Robert and ‘1’ Stephen!...

In a white metal it would be completely stunning, as far as my tastes go. Amazing, complex pieces these Greubel Forsey watches! Thanks for all the pictures and info., Andrew! I love how your passion for these pieces comes across in these write-ups. It mak... 

technically both are light years ahead of what's out , but for color contrast and combinations i do find the 24, in white gold more appealing to me. Thanks for posting. Faisal

What more to ask? Thanks.

I have to say I'm so in love with them and the way it looks (so complicated) that it doesn't really matter. One day *CL

Just stunning.

I have to admit that I did not completely understand what Stephen was telling me, so my apologies to one and all if I have this wrong. However, as I understood it, the differential in this particular setting is to allow a constant force to the escapement....  

I wish my family didnt need a house or like to eat! Such amazing watches. Such expensive prices! Love it! asg
