Greubel Forsey Balancier S

New from Greubel Forsey is its latest 195,000CHF beast, the eloquently named Balancier S. This beast is made out of titanium, measures 45mm across and 15.60mm in thickness and has a water-resistant rating of 100m (not that you’d really want to go swimming with it…). It also features a 3D variable geometry hour ring and a 30-degree angled balance wheel. Perhaps one of the most striking parts of the Balancier S is its angular look. Lots of curves and arches and odd angles make for what is one dramatic bit of horology. Absurd stuff but I absolutely love it!
