Reinventing the wheel

Greubel Forsey may have tried coming up with in-house solution, but the experience required to make a peerless bracelet is not the same as making a peerless movement. GF certainly ensured the finishing on the titanium was peerless, so there is some evolution. This is possibly the highest quality bracelet I’ve seen, but it definitely has recognizable roots.

Roland Iten could possibly outdo the clasp, if he had the time, but the link structure is another specialty. MB

I'm glad they did away with the writing all over the case, this looks much cleaner. I'd be curious how well it fits on the wrist.

Its stunning.

Looks so cool on a bracelet imo

As much as I appreciate Greubel Forseys work and effort...

... I dislike the fact that the bracelet is sourced from Brogioli.

Curious as to why

Brogioli make the best meaty bracelets in the industry and my favourite micro-adjust mechanism, which is the company’s signature. This Greubel Forsey bracelet is practically guaranteed to wear comfortably. Do they engage in questionable practices?

I wasn't aware the bracelet was outsourced, that does seem odd for GF...

I'm assuming it's less a criticism against Brogioli, and more against GF for not making it themsleves in-house.

It’s not a questionable practice, just something I didn’t expect.

So much thought and engineering that is put into their watches and with a price tag of 500K I expect them to find ways to reinvent the wheel.

This is really stunning. I have the balancier Sport and love it. The bracelet looks great.
