The New and More Compact Greubel Forsey GMT Balancier Convexe
Greubel Forsey has released a more compact version of its GMT Balancier Convexe watch, featuring a reduced case size and enhanced ergonomics. The timepiece includes a revolving terrestrial globe and a power reserve indicator.
Why it matters
The release highlights ongoing trends in luxury watchmaking toward more wearable, technically complex designs.
The redesigned GMT watch with enhanced ergonomics was introduced last year at Dubai Watch Week in a darker colour scheme. The titanium case diameter has been reduced from 43.5mm to 42.9mm, and the bezel, which is wider at the centre of the case, has been reduced from 46.5mm to 44.9mm. The case remains a prominent 15.1mm thick (17.6mm including the domed sapphire crystals). Beautifully finished with hand-polished and straight-grained surfaces, the curved bezel follows the convex curve of the case and sapphire crystal to dramatic effect. Echoing the blue colour scheme, the titanium crown features blue rubber grips. The engraved rectangular pusher on the case is used to adjust the GMT indicator in one-hour jumps, simultaneously rotating the globe.
