Our Thoughts
Greubel Forsey has redefined horology, tourbillons, and exquisite movement finishing among others, ever since its founding in 2004. In the rarified world of grand complications, they stand out. While few can afford their creations, their very existence provides immense aspirational value for watch collectors and enthusiasts alike.

While we worship the brand and its creations, Greubel Forsey is a business at the end of the day. As such they must take decisions that best serve their interests. We wish Messrs. Greubel, Forsey and Nydegger all the best as they lead this iconic brand to even greater heights.
