An Iconic Profile
The Balancier Convexe S² showcases its famous Convexe profile. Since its introduction in 2019, this case profile has won over collectors for its comfort and cutting-edge ergonomics. The entire case is double-curved, both front and back. On the back, it offers total comfort, hugging the curve of the wrist. On the front, the convex profile of the bezel plunges along the vertical axis of the timepiece, at both 12 and 6 o'clock. This dynamic form delivers the promise of infinite creative possibilities.
Along the 12 and 6 o'clock axis, the hour-ring drops away beneath the sapphire crystal revealing an unprecedented open space below the glass. Greubel Forsey has made full use of it: the lower quarter of the timepiece prominently features the collection's signature large balance wheel. Taking full advantage of the space available, it is inclined at 30°, as if suspended from the straight- grained, open-worked bridge with its hand-polished bevelling.
Time at Your Fingertips
In the apex, by contrast, the hour-ring is at its highest possible to the sapphire crystal. Enhanced in luminescent white, the hour and minute hands have never appeared so high. They almost seem to make contact with the glass, giving the illusion of being able to touch the time.
Here again, we find the double open-worked "arch bridge" with suspended wheels, whose architecture reveals the movement's patented mechanics. Bridges, elevations, levels, contrasts, relief, vanishing lines: the piece is clearly inspired by a city, one of those contemporary metropolis explored by Greubel Forsey collectors, between skyline and waterfront.
Skyline Aesthetic
Across the dial multiple shades of grey recall urban architecture. Greubel Forsey deploys a wide range of finishes to magnify the slightest chromatic variation, from frosted plates to straight-grained and mirror-polished surfaces.
An isolated coloured zone stands out for the power reserve, with an arrow pointing towards the 72 hours chronometric precision.
Pure Greubel Forsey
A smaller, and therefore lighter timepiece, cut for everyday use from a block of titanium. The texts and unique design of the barrel cover blend seamlessly into the case. This creates an exclusive dynamic that evokes its rotation, ensuring a 72-hour chronometric power reserve, and a display which is also perfectly integrated and contributes to the overall harmony inspired by this original 41.5 mm timepiece.
