Greubel Forsey Balancier s2 (Square) convex thoughts?
Went to the AD.
Showed this to me.
The mirror finish inside the dial is insane.
It costs a pretty penny too.
10 bar resistance! Sports watch it is!
I recently saw the watchbox and Swiss watch gang interview with the newly appointed CEO. He isn't a watch guy. He is a businessman. And it was abit disappointing to me.
Please check it out if you haven't and lets discuss! I hope his aspiration to scale the brand doesn't change the beauty and craft of it.

Thank you for the invitation
To discus watches. Your GF is a watch, better than the models where a bulb go outside a case. A pet peeve. I’d ignored GF for it. Not only GF, i can not accept Urwerk and some MB and F models. A CEO who is no watch guy, you have a big point. In my eyes th...
Love creativity
I applause for creativity. Beside my conservative approach, i like things if they are recognizable as known. The best translation for my point of view is Corum and a bit Hublot. Experimenting with materials, change looks by working with a base case form. ...
Bulls eye
Richemont. I aim on Baume and Mercier, and what are the new Cliftons for this year?
very very cool especially on a rubber strap! I actually like the ideas of the new CEO
which is to offer more of these lines on the low six figures pricing (still very step but..different direction) so to increase volumes a bit without compromising quality. Of course at this price point a lot to consider but if money is no objection, the 🤴 ...
I love the design but they are asking all the money and more for it. For me just too many other great options for a fraction of the price
The new LF Sport Auto or Romain Gauthier Continuum are maybe $50k? Sports watch from Voutilainen or De Bethune around $90k give or take. The finishing may well be far superior to all of these less expensive options so that's a consideration but with most ...
What time is it?
...I have no idea. Get back to me... Sometimes it seems that certain not-to-be-named independents are going out of their way to make illegible watches. Or they are etching novels onto the movements...
I would love to add a gorgeous GF at some point
Had some great meetings with mr Stephen Forsey in the past and these moments just wants me to get one even more . Hope the new Ceo isn’t going to kill these feelings for me in the future . Unfortunately He already let go some great people in the company ...
Wow!
I would love to meet him if there is an opportunity. I do own a gmt sports from GF which I will share in a later post!
Being a watch guy is not mandatory
To make money is the one and only target of any company, but the way to achieve makes a big difference. The watch is stunning, GF plays in the same league of RM (rarity and prices) and I think the new CEO aims to reach the same visibility and profitabilit...
Not yet but interested to take a look
As I don't really attend dressy occasions frequently, I feel that sports watches would fit into my lifestyle more. But I must admit the balancier contemporain has a dial that I love as well and it could out match an fp journe in the same category in terms...
