Launched in 2017 in conjunction with the more well-known and international 18k white gold model, Greubel Forsey released an even more exclusive USA limited edition model with only 11 examples ever manufactured. To the delight of many collectors, the case is crafted from stainless steel edition, matching the watch's sporty aesthetic. Furthermore, it has a very attractive and beautiful blued gold outer ring on the dial.
Unlike most timepieces from the independent powerhouse, the watch is very traditional in the sense that it features a standard 'flat' non-tourbillon balance and escapement. This new approach allows the brand to reach new audiences and have a lower price point than their other models. However, their design DNA was still evident in the watch since featured an asymmetrical case with protrusion at the balance at 8 o'clock. Further more to enjoy this feature, the case side at this area has a sapphire window for an enhanced view.
Like many Greubel Forsey watches, the brand is known for their second-to-none finishing without compromise and while the present stainless steel Balancier is one of the most approachable timepieces from the brand, it is no exception. The watch features a myriad of meticulous hand-finishing techniques including Côtes de Genève, anglage, and black mirror-polishing, frosting, and engraving throughout the front and rear. These styles of finishing contrast and complement one another, adding new layers of impressive feats to this mechanical masterpiece.
Greubel Forsey
Robert Greubel and Stephen Forsey have been working together for over 20 years in a relationship founded on their shared technical creativity and quest for perfection. The two watchmakers are fabled for their exceptional and avant-garde horology, combining highly complicated mechanical functions with uncompromisingly provocative styling concepts.
The duo became legends in the world of modern, independent watchmaking when they began developing complicated movements for Renaud & Papi in 1992. Greubel and Forsey decided to branch out on their own in 1999, setting up as the independents, CompliTime Greubel, la Neuveville and Bureau d’Etude et Prototype, le Locle, respectively. From this moment forward, they are focused on designing a new generation of tourbillons specifically developed to improve the timekeeping of the mechanical watch.
