In 1999, confident in the thought that the high art of watchmaking as a means of artistic expression, and not just technical skill, two masters decided to merge. Each model by Greubel Forsey is a distinct commitment to innovation and superior to the existing constraints, as reflected in the mechanisms of the company. Thus, the shape should be followed by the functionality, and the luxurious appearance of watch is completed with the image of the perfect mechanism put up on display both the front and the reverse sides of the watch.
The gallery also presents the works of Philippe Dufour, one of the staunchest defenders of traditional watchmaking, whose works are masterfully executed and finished by hand, and Vianney Holter, famous for its avant-garde architecture of deconstructionist watches in the style of Futur Antérieur.
Greubel Forsey is also collaborating with the British sculptor Willard Wigan. As a result of this wonderful partnership in the near future, the gallery will present a watch, in which will be placed a sculpture by Willard Wigan.
