New Products: Greubel Forsey Balancier Convex S2 and smaller versions of the Double Balancier Convex
Interesting news from Greubel Forsey. They reduced the size of the Balancier Convexe S2 and Double Balancier Convexe and adopted a slimmer case. The former is now 41.5mm, the latter is 42.5mm, and will be time-limited between 2023 and 2026. high quality watches replica
We have been big fans of the Greubel Forsey Convex range since its launch. Even before they named the family the Convex in 2019, they introduced the GMT Sport. In 2021, with the addition of Antonio Calce as CEO, S2 becomes the next phase of Greubel Forsey's reinvention. The first to be released was the Balancier Convex S2, which was based on the Balancier reference but in the new S2 casing. In 2022, the Balancier Convex S2 with a bracelet follows. The Balancier is a historic model from Greubel Forsey, launched in 2017. The Balancier S2 and Balancier Convex S2 had a case size of 43.5mm, while the current novelty is a smaller, more wrist-friendly 41.5mm size.
Released in 2022, the Double Balancier Convex S2 has a case diameter of 43.5 mm. This novelty reduces the thickness of the case by 1 mm, allowing it to fit better on the wrist.
Greubel Forsey did not specify exactly what was done, but to achieve this slim movement, the movement was modified to fit into a smaller space, and the case was correspondingly thinner.replica luxury Watches
Greubel Forsey Balancier Convex S 2
Introducing the Balancier Convex S 2 with a diameter of 41.5 mm. Available in gray or blue, the watch is a veritable cityscape with highly architectural and ultra-fine contrasting lines, displayed at an unprecedented scale, where technology and aesthetics rival in boldness.
2021: An unexpected creation flies over Dubai and is unveiled there. Its name: Balancier Convex S 2. Greubel Forsey is creating a collection with a strong, contemporary, innovative and architectural character. The Balancier Convex S 2 is the first expression of this.
iconic profile
The Balancier Convex S 2 showcases its famous Convex silhouette. Since its launch in 2019, the case has won over collectors for its comfort and cutting-edge ergonomics. The entire case front and back are hyperbolic. On the back, it offers total comfort, hugging the curves of the wrist. On the front, the convex profile of the bezel runs along the watch's vertical axis (12 and 6 o'clock positions). This dynamic form allows for endless creative possibilities.Shopping replica watches
Along the axes at 12 o'clock and 6 o'clock, the hour ring gradually sinks under the sapphire crystal, revealing an unprecedented open space beneath the glass. Greubel Forsey has taken full advantage of this: the lower quarter of the watch highlights the collection's signature large balance wheel. Making the most of the available space, it tilts at 30° as if suspended from ruled openwork bridges with hand-polished chamfers.
time at your fingertips
At the top, by contrast, the hour ring sits atop the sapphire crystal. The hour and minute hands, enhanced with luminous white, have never looked higher. They almost seem to be in contact with the glass, giving the illusion of being able to touch the time. Here again we find the double skeletonized "arch bridge" with suspended wheels, the structure of which reveals the patented mechanism of the movement. Bridges, façades, levels, contrasts, reliefs, disappearing lines: the inspiration for this work is clearly a city, one of the contemporary metropolises explored by Greubel Forsey collectors, between the skyline and the waterfront.
skyline and waterfront
Both could serve as inspiration for two versions of the replica watches for sale. First, the multiple shades of gray are reminiscent of urban architecture. Greubel Forsey employs a wide range of finishes to amplify the slightest color variations, from matte panels to ruled and mirror polished surfaces. A separate colored zone highlights the power reserve, with an arrow pointing to the 72-hour chronograph precision.
In the blue version, Greubel Forsey used direct contrast. The light-coloured mainplate, midnight blue hour ring and raised luminous hour markers are particularly eye-catching, and the large balance wheel and the small seconds at 8 o'clock are revealed on the slope, and the overall composition is soft and contrasting.
Pure Greubel Forsey
For the first time this urban landscape is housed in a smaller, slimmer box. Thanks to its honed proportions, the case measures just 41.5mm in diameter. A smaller, lighter watch cut from a single piece of titanium for everyday use, it can be worn on a fabric-style textured rubber strap or on an all-titanium bracelet. However, doing a simple similarity to the original structure to get it to 41.5mm doesn't work. So Greubel Forsey completely reinvented the Balancier Convex S 2 while keeping all the codes.
First of all: To ensure that the new diameter of the case does not present a noticeable curve, the contours of both the dial side (to accommodate the new movement) and the case back side (to maintain a curvature that matches the shape of the wrist) had to be perfected.
Second, the movement has been considerably improved. On the technical side, we have rethought the architecture to minimize space. Its purpose is to maintain harmony between the movement and the volume of the new 41.5mm case. The aesthetics and decorations have also been tweaked to ensure they continue to stand out in this new environment. replica watches Price
The text and unique design of the barrel cap blend seamlessly with the redesigned case. This creates a unique dynamic that evokes its rotation, ensuring a 72-hour chronograph power reserve, while the display is also perfectly integrated and contributes to the overall harmony, inspired by this original 41.5mm timepiece.
Greubel Forsey convex double balancer
Greubel Forsey introduces the Double Balancier Convex with a diameter of only 42.5 mm. Limited to 88 pieces, this new titanium creation is more contemporary and architectural than ever before with its Double Balancier movement and constant spherical differential.
It is generally believed that watchmaking companies produce the movement first and then the case, defining for it the diameter that best meets the expectations of the customer. At Greubel Forsey, nothing could be further from the truth. In the Atelier Manufacture workshop, each timepiece is specially designed according to the principle of the unique creative process of "one movement, one case". They are inseparable. From initial sketches to final assembly, they are created for each other.
This is especially true for the Convex series. Its essential features derive from the unique structure of its double-curved case, which fits perfectly on the wrist. Its design recalls the structure of a movement, unfolding in three dimensions and emphasizing its silhouette.
very limited first series
The guiding idea behind this new diameter was to once again push the limits, even those already set by Greubel Forsey: how to create a more compact timepiece while maintaining the harmony required by its proportions and movement construction.Review replica watches
To meet this challenge, Greubel Forsey had to rethink the construction of the movement and improve its finish – thanks to the high level of expertise of the Greubel Forsey workshops, each timepiece is assembled and finished entirely by hand. This allows the studio's artisans to adapt their artwork piece by piece to the specifics of each collection. The 42.5mm Double Balancier Convex edition will consist of only 88 watches and will be released between 2023 and 2026.
work in depth
Launched in 2022, the first Double Balancier Convex was not designed with a diameter of 42.5 mm. Remarkably, the tolerances of Greubel Forsey watches have been adjusted down to the micron level, and the reduction in diameter is particularly pronounced, underscoring the subversive nature of this creation. Avoidant collectors will be well aware of this fact.
The new case, with a diameter of 42.5 mm, is smaller and houses the double balancer, Greubel Forsey's sixth fundamental invention. Its prototype was patented in 2007 and has been in constant development ever since. It was first offered as an EWT (Experimental Watch Technology) prototype, in which the two adjustment mechanisms overlap and are inclined by 20°. This is followed by a second evolution of the six-piece, with two adjustment mechanisms on three-dimensionally inclined planes, this time at 35°. In 2016, Greubel Forsey launched the double-balanced movement in its current form: the two balance wheels inclined at 30° optimize performance, especially in the stable position, while the constant spherical differential produces greater amplitude stability.
Stay in Line and Comfort
Its new 42.5 mm diameter makes it possible to approach the Convex case in a new configuration. Mathematically, the smaller the diameter, the steeper its curve should be. But the Greubel Forsey team redesigned the world's unique convex profile, adjusting its precise angles and proportions rather than a simple approximation. The new case has been completely redesigned to provide optimum comfort on the wrist and maintain Greubel Forsey's expectations for ergonomics and exceptional quality.
The result is an extremely comfortable watch with a more understated and harmonious silhouette. An original design eagerly awaited by collectors, it has been painstakingly honed by the atelier to the prestigious level of perfection.Jacob & Co. Epic X
New contours, new finishes
The new Double Balancier Convex can be slipped more easily under a fitted sleeve or casually worn on a bare wrist. Collectors can hide or reveal the mechanism of the movement according to their preferences without appearing ostentatious.
The finish of this watch has been designed with this in mind. The case is made of natural titanium in a silky, brilliant grey. The polished bezel features a refined satin finish that plays with the light to create the contrasting brilliance and elegance that characterize the Convex collection. The text on the barrel cover blends seamlessly with the redesigned case, while its new design creates a unique movement reminiscent of its rotation while providing a 72-hour chronograph power reserve.
The main plate, also in titanium, is satin-brushed—again, discerning collectors will note the ambition of this finish, titanium being a tough natural material and thus by definition the hardest to apply a matte to. The same high standard applies to the bridges of each balance wheel, whose chamfers are also hand-polished – a particularly delicate job that requires extraordinary expertise, especially when the bridges are skeletonized and flat black-finished.
The inclined balance is linked by a constant spherical differential, visible between 6 and 7 o'clock. Over a 4-minute sequence, it provides the best running average to meet the performance, precision and reliability Greubel Forsey demands for all of its timepieces. replica Zenith Chronomaster Watches |
