Introduced in 2016 by Greubel Forsey, the Signature 1 was born out of the brand’s philosophy of nurturing individual talent while upholding its renowned standards, technical prowess, and creative freedom. Imagined by one of the master watchmakers at Greubel Forsey, Didier Cretin, Cretin was granted with the creative liberty to express his own vision within the framework of the Greubel Forsey atelier.
For the first time in the company’s history, Cretin crafted a manually wound, three-hand timepiece—a significant departure from the brand’s hallmark use of the Tourbillon. This timepiece instead revolves around a custom-engineered balance wheel, carefully designed to uphold Greubel Forsey’s commitment to precision and horological mastery. Encased in the most prestigious of metals—platinum—the Signature 1 also boasts an all-gold dial with constant subsidiary seconds, to enhance contrast, the main dial is treated with black galvanization, beautifully accentuating the rose gold plate beneath.
With a total production limited to just 66 pieces, this particular model is one of only eleven featuring this dial and case combination. Presented as a full set and preserved in like-new, virtually unworn condition, this remarkable timepiece encapsulates the best of modern fine watchmaking, offering a rare opportunity to own a watch co-signed by one of Greubel Forsey’s most visionary artisans.
Greubel Forsey will offer a complimentary service of the watch within 6 months of purchase.
