Balancier S
Likewise , Greubel Forsey ’ s finishing reaches its usual high standards with extensive frosting , polished bevels and countersinks , circular and straight graining .
This Balancier S continues Greubel Forsey ’ s foray into the sporty frontiers of high-end chronometry . Now that many collectors have made peace with the watch ’ s unusual ovoid case , expect many to look forward to additional sporty high-horology designs from this highly technical team . I already do .
Price : 195,000 Swiss francs . Eighteen pieces will be made .
