An independent brand that effortlessly blends the contemporary and the classical, Greubel Forsey has charted its own unique path in the world of high-end sports watches, known for their exquisite craftsmanship and meticulous finishing. The brand understands its distinct appeal and position among watch enthusiasts, and foresees a bright future that has prompted plans for manufacturing expansion and a doubling of production volumes in the coming years.
Operating in an almost unparalleled market, Greubel Forsey faces only a handful of competitors, with Richard Mille being the most notable contender. To stay competitive with Richard Mille, the brand has been diligently creating sportier watches. This endeavor encompasses the introduction of more ergonomic cases, as well as movements that strike a delicate balance between simplicity and architectural complexity.
However, one persistent aspect of Greubel Forsey’s timepieces is their significant size. While the latest “Convexe” cases boast dramatic curves and exceptional ergonomics, they remain undeniably large, leaving some enthusiasts longing for a different experience. In response to the feedback and in line with their manufacturing expansion, Greubel Forsey has responded to its fans by unveiling smaller iterations of their beloved models: the Balancier Convexe S2 and the Double Balancier Convexe. These new releases measure a modest 41.5 mm and 42.5 mm in width, respectively, departing from the previous sizes of nearly 44 mm.
