Yes very low-key.
And the "boring" or "utilitarian" dial can indeed act as an invitation to turn the watch over!
Best, Emmanuel
How about a solid dial Greubel Forsey ?
Greubel Forsey is usually focused on displaying amazing complications and finishing on the dial side as well as on the back. I wouldn't say that I love the dial of the Double Tourbillon 30° Secret shown below (I find it too utilitarian), but I like that i...
Yes, too big for my wrist, no doubt about that.
But a double 30° tourbillon takes some space! Best, Emmanuel
I’m thinking the same.
I have great respect for this brand and their watches. They have a certain aesthetic and it’s not for my taste.
It's a brand I've never been attracted to, because I like solid dials and traditional aesthetic.
But their watchmaking is absolutely first class nonetheless. And this Double Tourbillon is closer to my style and taste than their usual watches. That's why I chose to highlight it. Best, Emmanuel
Not your usual Greubel Forsey for sure.
Whilst I actually like the dial except for the huge Double Tourbillon 30 degrees and "Un Tour 4 min" which personally I think is way too large and distracts from the fairly stark style of the dial. I think seeing a Tourbillon here instead would look much ...
I like your humor, Marc! ;-)
I agree with you that, the dial being fairly unattractive, one might prefer to see the tourbillon on the front. But I personally dislike open dials and love when the mechanical magic is on the back only. That's why I chose to highlight this model, even th...
Quite low-key for a GF.
But I like it, very nicely done dial. And you are bored, just flip over and the magic appears. 😁

Love it! I am a fan of this 43mm case size for GF, big but perfect imho
Different thicknesses but from the balancier and double balancier to the vision tourb, 24 second tourb, and now this, the 43mm case was just big enough to contain most of the core GF complications and small enough to fit on most wrists reasonably. As for ...
I love your enthusiasm!
I agree that this dial is very serious and not very attractive, but I personally don't respond to open dials (just me of course). GF makes most of their watches with an open dial, so you have plenty to choose from! Best, Emmanuel
I like your humor! You’re right, too much text.
The exciting part is on the back here.
I have mixed feelings about the dial here, even if I like that it’s solid,
but the double tourbillon and whole movement are wonderful. Best, Emmanuel
Too boring
I love openworked Greubel! It’s what they do best. Can’t hide all that gorgeous finishing and exciting mechanics.
I certainly understand your feeling.
And this is certainly an odd GF. But, for whatever reason, I don't respond to open dials: they kind of turn the watch into a workshop and I miss a solid dial and traditional appearance of a watch. Best, Emmanuel
