Greubel Forsey is a horological tour-de-force, known for creating high-end complicated movements that are not only precision timekeepers, but also technical masterpieces. In 2004, Robert Greubel and Stephen Forsey released their first wristwatch, the Double Tourbillon 30° at Baselworld, and since then have continued to amaze collectors with a collection of exemplary watches.
First patented in 2007, the prototype double balancier featured two superimposed balance wheels on a 20° incline, while the final movement released in 2016 utilizes two independent balance wheels inclined at 30° connected through a constant spherical differential. This technical marvel helps to minimize positional errors and cancel them out through the differential. The first Double Balancier Convexe was introduced in 2022 in titanium with the current black carbon Double Balancier Convexe released in 2023 in a limited edition of just 22 timepieces. The case’s diameter has been reduced from 43.5mm to 42.5mm while maintaining its highly ergonomic form. The semi-skeletonized dial allows the wearer to admire the tour-de-force movement while worn on the wrist.
Consigned by the original owner in like-new condition, the present lot is accompanied by its full suite of accessories. Greubel Forsey is revered for the challenges they address through innovative watchmaking and the exquisite hand-finishing found on each watch, and the present Double Balancier Convexe is certain to impress.
