Dream Watches Gallery: GREUBEL FORSEY - Art Piece Edition

The Greubel Forsey Art Piece Edition is a breathtakingly beautiful timepiece, truly approaching the realm of perfection. It is a coveted work of art, highly sought after by top-tier collectors.

The pinnacle of watchmaking is indeed art, and the Greubel Forsey Art Piece, true to its name, embodies the spirit of transforming a watch into a work of art.

Its signature feature, the Double Tourbillon 30°, is a masterpiece in itself, having won the Best Complicated Watch award at the GPHG and first place in the International Chronometry Competition. The competition's criteria include timing accuracy, temperature, shock, and magnetic field resistance.

  • It scored an impressive 915 out of 1000 points.

  • The error rate is within 0.4-0.8 seconds over 45 days.

Every visible and invisible part is finished to a grinding level. The black flat polishing technique, hand-polished chamfers, and precise angular cutting are all top-of-the-line, catching and reflecting light in various ways.

Intricate engravings adorn the watch, including laser, hand, and laser engravings plus various stamps, and images such as St. Bernard, covering not just the dial but also the finely detailed sides, showcasing the immense difficulty of such craftsmanship.

The entire structure and design of the tourbillon have been enlarged, creating a three-dimensional structure resembling a stage. The open design allows the tourbillon's movement to be admired from any angle. The tourbillon's outer frame is as sharp and beautiful as a blade, occupying nearly 40% of the dial.

The back is very classical, resembling a sandblasted deck, but is actually a more traditional craftsmanship. A large barrel and prominent rubies accompany the signatures of Robert Greubel and Stephen Forsey.
