Gruebel Forsey Double Balancier Convexe P01236 Watch

The Double Balancier Convexe masterfully blends technical innovation with refined elegance. Crafted from Grade 5 titanium in a silky, luminous grey, its slim, curved case offers enhanced comfort, slipping easily under a cuff or making a discreet statement on the wrist. Its compact form invites collectors to reveal as much of its intricate mechanics as they wish, embodying understated sophistication without compromising horological depth. Inside, a manually wound calibre of 371 components beats at 21,600 vibrations per hour, featuring twin 30° inclined balance wheels linked by a visible spherical differential. Completing a full rotation every four minutes, this mechanism averages the rates of the balances, ensuring superior precision and stability, supported by a 72-hour power reserve via twin barrels in series. Exceptional craftsmanship lies at its core. The titanium plate bears a finely grained finish, an impressive feat given the metal’s challenging properties, while the open worked bridges are flat-black polished and hand-chamfered, each requiring over 30 hours of skilled work. Altogether, the finishing demands hundreds of hours, a true testament to the artisanal dedication behind every piece. A satin-brushed bezel with polished edges catches the light from every angle, completing the watch’s refined aesthetic. Limited to just 88 pieces worldwide, the Double Balancier Convexe is a testament to Greubel Forsey’s dedication to haute horlogerie, where material innovation, movement complexity, and exceptional hand-finishing converge.
