Thanks Andrew...
for sharing this peek into the world of GF. I agree that they deserve the award given to them as they have consistently shown and proven that their wizardry is no one trick pony, I amongst others out here most certainly look forward with interest to their future masterpieces. Thanks again for sharing...
Taking Time: Finishing at Greubel-Forsey.
Over coffee one morning, while talking with Robert Greubel, I asked him where he saw the future of Greubel Forsey. After all, in the space of five years, the firm had essentially grown from two watchmakers into a firm with about 63 employees. Greubel Fors...

Thank you Andrew
for this insightful look at the work that GF puts into their watches. While I have never been attracted to their watches, I have always appreciated the extraordinarily fine finishing that went into them. The pictures of components in process show just how...
Great insights. Thanks.
I only came ot be aware of them very very recently which again exposes my novice status in this game but I must say, they do indeed have some very interesting (and large) creations.
Thanks for the report Andrew
Despite its size (and Richemont stake), Greubel Forsey still manages to retain the small company feel in its watches. Thanks for the great article. - SJX
Beautiful technique that enhances the watch
Hi Andrew, Thanks so much for a fantastic article about finishing at Greubel-Forsey. I love these insider looks at the craft behind the masterpieces we so love. It's nice to see all the hand finishing that goes into these watches. Having just taken an int...
Thanks for the tour.
Hi. The building design looks cool, looks like a nice place to work. The watches, as usual, look stunning. The watch on the last pic looks fantastic. Thanks for sharing. Vte
very nice, thanks for the article
I do have one question Will G-F ever make a watch that more people can afford ? Their watches are superb but when I see where the listprice starts .... :-( So do they consider making a watch which isn't extremely complicated and has only 3 hands, for let'...
Very informative article, and I also must ask...
if they would consider making more affordable watches with the same level of accuracy?
Excellent report!
I was fortunate enough to visit them at their old location a few years ago. I'm glad to see that they are doing well and insisting on the highest technical standards and quality. Thanks so much for the detailed pictures and explanations, Andrew!
Excellent report, thanks
This is a very pleasant read and an interesting insight. The aesthetics of their watches is not at all to my liking but I respect their art in watchmaking.
Thanks for Excellent Report.
It is interesting that when I met Peter Speake-Marin at a Dinner with a group of WIS recently , Peter spoke very highly of Peter Forsey.He mentioned he and Peter Forsey were together at the same watch making school in the UK and that Forsey had this great...
Thank you Andrew for this extremely detailed and informative report.
Most of the info we receive about Greubel Forsey tends to concentrate on their mechanical wizardry, the excellence of which is by now justly famous. This report on the other hand, focuses on a less recognised aspect of their watchmaking mastery. Finishing...
Stunning craftmanship and what eye for detail............
Approximately how pieces do they make each year?
It's the time and care put into the details that makes a
Haute horlogerie come to life. Thanks for sharing! Stephen
equally true
What I actually read was "It's the time and care put into the details that makes a BluNotte" Amery
Astounding craftsmanship...
I especially appreciate the application of the perlage, particularly the additional circles applied around jewel holes.
awesome stuff
Thanks Andrew, I'd love to hear more about the science that GF claims to bring to the table. There's nothing about it that seems particularly disingenuous(I believe they are sincere at least), but I'm a "show me the data" kinda guy, and need more than sim...
+1
What data - field tests, trial runs - in case these are the major interest of the potential buyer - which I very much doubt - have true horological significance beyond the incredible innovation (of a particular sort) and the admittedly impeccable finish (...
Late again
I've been travelling and missed this wonderful report until today. Thanks Andrew and also to Messrs Greubel and Forsey for starting the whole thing, in the first place! I did not realise the subtleties that go into a G-F watch.....hence the eye-watering p...
