This is my #1 GF
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 makes for great reading.
Cheers,

‘1’ Robert and ‘1’ Stephen: Greubel Forsey make their debut at SIHH
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...
24 second incline tourbillon, in platinum.
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...
Much ado
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...
Here is the problem with proprietary research and publication ...
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...
Invention Piece No 3, in platinum
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!...
Double tourbillon a technique in rose gold
It is surprising the difference a metal can make. While I prefer the white gold version of the Technique (more on the watch coming in a later article), mainly for aesthetic reasons, the rose gold version of the same watch is still stunning. The surprise i...

24.... but technically both
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
These are definitely way big for my wrist but....
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
EWT: Experimental Watch Technology: Testing the Differential d’Egalite
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....
Thanks for these pics!

Wonderful Work, Andrew
Thank you. I would agree with you 'choice' as your favorite. I'll order mine when you order yours. Best to you, Douglas
Great! Thanks Douglas. How about the 'back end of never'?
Does that work for you! Its about when I will be ordering mine! Which is sad Andrew H
Thanks for sharing, Andrew.
G&F never cease to amaze. Such incredible looking pieces. Bravo to them!
