I have a problem.
So I walked into a jewelry store today that happens to be an AD for Greubel Forsey. I asked the SA about the brand, at which point, I was sure she was going to call security to kick me out. On the contrary, she couldn’t have been nicer. She actually let me try a few of them on!!!
They are wearable works of art. Simply amazing. I could have just sat and stared at them all day. I caught myself thinking what I would have to do to get one. This addiction needs to stop. Please help...

Independents are a dangerous rabbit hole. They’re not for me, but GF and also MB&F really are strong at wrist art. Thanks for sharing.

I agree, you do have a problem. Not sure it can be stopped but holy hell, post pics when it happens.

i'm sorry, but taking aside the craftsmanship involved with the GFs (which i couldn't agree more), the design aesthetics of this brand are oftentimes indecipherable from those awful jacob&co pieces. both are an absolute eyesore, imo.

I really like many of their pieces. The middle one I am not so fond of. What is your wrist size. Having a 6.4 inch wrist, their watches are a bit big on me. Although I do have some large Lange pieces

If the price doesn't stop you, I think not much else will :)

My wrist is right around 7”. The middle one is a Quad Tourbillon, and it was beefy. I do have to say that it’s not any worse than a Big Pilot, and it was surprisingly not too big in person.

Oh it’s not happening-unless I win the lottery.

That’s the GMT Sport. I couldn’t take a picture that does it justice. The sapphire crystal is curved, which is incredible, and the hands are also curved to follow the glass. The finishing in these is just of another world...
