Their avant-garde approach is evident in every timepiece they produce, with a focus on creating complex, high-end watches that rival the masterpieces of the 18th and 19th centuries. Known for incorporating multiple tourbillons and inclined balance wheels, Greubel & Forsey continually pushes the boundaries of precision and craftsmanship in modern horology. Producing approximately 100 timepieces annually, the brand is renowned for its artistry and unparalleled hand-finishing. This dedication is exemplified by models like the Hand Made 1, where 95% of the watch is crafted using hand-operated tools, requiring 6,000 hours of labor. In 2016, Greubel & Forsey introduced the Signature 1 at the Salon International de la Haute Horlogerie, marking a significant departure from their typically complex designs. Despite being considered a simpler, more accessible timepiece by their standards, the Signature 1 reflects the same obsessive attention to detail and mechanical mastery. The Greubel & Forsey Signature 1 Unique Edition in Steel is an extraordinary expression of this philosophy. Limited to just 11 pieces, it features a 41.4mm steel case with a black-anthracite dial. The time-only design showcases a large golden balance wheel, visible beneath a polished three-prong bridge, with superb finishing on every component. The watch’s understated complexity and remarkable beauty pay tribute to Greubel & Forsey’s commitment to excellence, with meticulous hand-finishing throughout, from the bevels and frosted finishes to the Côtes de Genève on the bridge. A true collector’s piece, this edition captures the essence of the brand’s inventive spirit. Greubel & Frosey
