Greubel Forsey definitely seems to be undergoing a brand reinvention. This past year, they bid farewell for the collector-favorite Balancier Contemporain watch. Subsequently, co-founder Stephen Forsey stepped down from the brand's board of directors, although brand still bears his or her name. Andy Hoffman in depth the changes in an interview along with CEO Michel Nydegger. Nydegger has been leading the brand's shift from short-lived selling price reductions to smaller, higher-priced models, with a focus on increasing wearing comfort. And today, together with the end of another time, the brand is bidding goodbye to the Balancier Convexe S² (launched in 2021) together with two limited-edition watches, each and every limited to 11 pieces, offering either white or black ceramic which has a rose gold bezel and case backside.
While the Balancier Contemporain, like the Balancier Convexe S², features a large entrance balance wheel, its layout and case style are better traditional. The Balancier Convexe S² employs a curled, variable geometry case and also crystal, with a case dimension of 41. 5 mm, a bezel width regarding 44 mm, and a fullness of 13. 25 mm (14. 8 mm like the synthetic sapphire crystal), installing perfectly on the wrist.

This curved circumstance is exceptionally comfortable to wear (based on my previous experience using similar watches), combining the particular sporty feel of manufacturers like Richard Mille along with a craftsmanship and technology (including the case material) that significantly surpasses Richard Mille watches in the same price range. The particular movement dial features multi-layered skeletonized suspended bridges having straight-grained polishing, and the chamfered edges and countersunk holes may also be polished. The movement will be adorned with oval-shaped rare metal jewel bearings throughout.
The movement aspect has a more understated style and design, but also features a gold baseplate engraved with the limited release number, chamfers and countersunk holes with circular-textured buffing, and straight-grained side china.

The Thoughts
I've for ages been interested in Greubel Forsey along with am delighted to have got the opportunity to cover it with greater regularity over the past few years. Some have got described it as " Rich Mille, " but with a better emphasis on meticulous finishing in addition to traditional watchmaking techniques. I do believe that description still is valid. While Greubel Forsey has long been known for its escapements as well as balance wheels (and their particular handcrafted collections), they've furthermore begun to add more difficulties to their product line, no longer limited to oversized GMT watches.
The Balancier Convexe S2, while featuring a less complicated design, is difficult to go beyond in terms of quality. The elaborate geometry of the case, dial, and also hands showcases an extreme search for detail, while the exquisite concluding further enhances its flawlessness.
