Introducing Greubel Forsey Balancier 3 Green Mexico Edition

On the occasion of the SIAR Summer Fair, Greubel Forsey has launched a special edition watch for the Mexican market in collaboration with its official dealer, Berger Watches. Founded in 1918 and headquartered in Mexico, Berger Watches is one of the largest retailers in Latin America. The special edition watches come in green, reflecting the colors of the Mexican flag. These watches were initially presented by the company in blue and black late last year.

It took Greubel Forsey nearly two decades to embrace the challenge of creating a completely new watch that was both affordable and maintained the company's identity. To achieve this, the company had to start from scratch, considering how to design a watch in a comfortable size that could accommodate its caliber. The goal was to make the piece more affordable compared to other versions while maintaining 100% handcrafted quality. In 2019, Greubel Forsey introduced the Balancier S, offering a simpler model that retained the brand’s common aesthetics and unparalleled craftsmanship. This time-only piece paved the way for later creations, such as the Balancier S2 in 2021. The latest addition to this collection is the Balancier 3, introduced by the company in 2023, a finely crafted watch that adheres to the brand's signature design. The company describes it as an affordable watch, maintaining the exceptional standards Greubel Forsey is known for.

This design joins the Convexe collection, the Balancier 3 features the iconic titanium case with a 41.5mm diameter, even slimmer than before. Its lugs no longer have screws, a first for Greubel Forsey. The Convexe case is profiled on both the back and display sides, making it truly unique in fine watchmaking. Offering total comfort, the piece naturally follows the curvature of the wrist. On the dial side, the double curvature dips towards each end of the strap.

The timepiece introduced in green variants, the open worked dial characterized by its three hand finishes bridges, the first of which houses the barrel at 5 o’clock, the second for the large balance wheel between 4 and 6 o’clock, it is balanced thanks to its 6 gold mean-time screws. and the third, and most striking of all, is attached to the small seconds subdial at 8 o’clock showcasing a fixed red indicator and a rotating satin-finished disc, The curved hour and minute hands are gracefully held by a wide hand-polished bridge with a three-dimensional open-worked design,

The dial presents the iconic Greubel Forsey style, the hour ring with the engraved and lacquered minute track and three-dimensional, Super-LumiNova-treated hour indices. 

The curved sapphire caseback unveils finely finished, large plates, including jewels in chatons,The power reserve is shown on the case back for the first time in the Convexe collection.
