Introducing the Greubel Forsey GMT Balancier Convexe

In this special report, we have the pleasure of introducing the latest comer in the Greubel Forsey GMT's family, the new GMT Balancier Convex.
This launch marks a clear new chapter for the GMT Collection of the brand as the famous model had been equipped with tourbillons up until now and is discontinued.
This new version features a beautiful and mesmerising 30° inclined balance wheel beating at 21 600 vibrations per hour.
Enjoy and Viva Watchmaking!

That day could be quite far away, but as you say, maybe one day 🤞🤞🤞 best to you and thanks

[@JamesAlexander14]

What a stunning timepiece. ‘Nuff’ said🙏❤️

[@watchestv-com]

Well said!!!!!

[@Javi_C]

Beautiful piece

[@watchestv-com]

Oh yes!!!!!

[@Opal_Spectrum]

great design -- and the convex case is much better then previous odd shapes :P

[@watchestv-com]

The old one had it's charm, was very unusual, but yes this new one fits perfectly the purpose

[@markpalmer3936]

Fantastic piece

[@antoinebuhler5427]

Beyond the holy trinity, indeed.

[@watchestv-com]

Quite a different take for sure!

[@hoffmancapote]

Lovely watch. Actually I like the shape of the case more so than the previous models. The case is round without interruption at 7pm which gives a more aesthetic appearance.

[@watchestv-com]

Indeed more classical, but still has a twist! Thanks and best to you

[@albertmyers7176]

Nice, thank you

[@watchestv-com]

Welcome 😊

[@manduheavyvazquez5268]

Greatness

[@HRM.H]

Love their diagonal balance wheels. Must be extremely hard to manufacture

[@watchestv-com]

Oh yes, this one is absolutely stunning!!!

[@glidule]

Elle te sied parfaitement!

[@watchestv-com]

Je suis totalement d'accord ;)

[@rasheedpm1063]

Thanks

[@APOSTA-pz7vs]

I'm hoping GF can bring the pieces down to below 42mm at some point in time. This is a great piece, but, still too hefty at 43.5mm and, at this price point, why not stretch and grab the GMT Tourby? Regardless, a masterpiece none-the-less.

[@watchestv-com]

But it sit really nicely on the wrist and with this convex case it doesn't seem big at all. Best to you

[@999NINE99]

Love the design of this. Why do watchmakers of this skill level continue to use flat head screws? They don't fit with the modernization of the piece. Richard Mille created their own screws; it seems strange to me that others producing watches with such complexity do not.

[@theselectiveluddite]

G'day J G, Traditionally watchmakers would make their own screws, and any decent book teaching the subject will cover their manufacture. A properly made Horological screw is a different beast to the flat head screws you pick up at the hardware shop, and when used with a properly selected screwdriver, they jamb together giving a very secure purchase for tightening or loosening. Finishing off all the edges and surfaces to a high level is part of the Art, and is easier with a slot, rather than a more complicated shape like Philips etc. Also easier to service as all watchmakers will have the requisite screwdrivers. All the Best.

[@watchestv-com]

Thanks a lot for this really detailed answer and to pursue on this, did you know that a good screwdriver should never touch the bottom of the slot, it could scratch it, but instead only lie on the top sides of this slot. Best to you

[@999NINE99]

@@theselectiveluddite Thank you for the education. It has been a mystery to me for quite sometime and now no longer. Your explanation made my day. Thank you.

[@999NINE99]

@@watchestv-com I am happy for my comment. Now I understand horology much better with these excellent responses. Thank you!

I'm planning to sell my 27 spare kidneys to buy one of those

Gladly, you'll still have 17 left ones ;) Best to you

[@fullymechanical9055]

I think they got the shape of Iceland 🇮🇸 and Greenland wrong 🤔, but amazing atelier.

[@underachievingwatchcollect1878]

Just say it got lost in the mail🤷‍♂️!

[@watchestv-com]

Could be a solution, a one-off one ;)

[@wirogendeng212]

so basically, it's a homage to CIGA Design Watch then? let me know your opinion :)

[@watchestv-com]

Well that made me laugh, but GF have been using this huge 3D globe since more than 10 years, so quite the opposite and not really comparable ;) definitely not comparable!

[@briangarrett2427]

Remarkable only for their vulgarity.

[@watchestv-com]

Kind of harsh of you... but we all have our opinions and that's totally fine. The best to you
