Why Greubel Forsey’s Latest Handmade Watch Stands Out
Greubel Forsey’s Handmade 1, debuting in 2019, stood out as 95% crafted using hand-operated tools
This week, Handmade 2 debuted with a 1% higher handmade composition than its predecessor
The 40.9 mm timepiece was crafted almost entirely by hand, excluding the sapphire crystals, case gaskets, spring bars, mainspring, and most jewels
The Greubel Forsey team achieved the complex task of crafting a conical jewel for the power reserve indicator, a significant horological achievement
A single watchmaker assembles each timepiece, comprising 270 components and demanding 5,000 hours of work
Just two to three of these timepieces can be made annually
