Independents

This is super cool imo. Will probably be wayyyyy beyond my budget lol https://www.instagram.com/p/DB1GNFWIcw4/?igsh=OWdnYzRwYm1rOWU0 ...  

Just dont like the 15 on the dial

Nice finish. Priced quite high but coming with more horological substance and refinement than the RM’s imho.

...if the crystal adds height it is a mistake, as the watch is finally 'thin' when many of these indy brands are a bit on the thick side. Edit...just checked out the Hodinkee article. It looks a LOT thicker than what is listed.

Looking at Hodinkee's wrist shot, it certainly looks like the sapphire crystals add to the 10.49 mm thickness. Would need confirmation on that. Even if it's 13 mm thick, it's still nicely compact and wearable. I'd like to see watchmaking continue in this ... 

I very much like this direction of Greubel Forsay and prefer it over their sporty offerings. Had the pleasure of trying it on recently. It wears very nicely. ...  

Another gorgeous addition to the GF collection

I counted 20 interior angles behind alone. Great effort by GF and this is how a GF should be in my opinion. Photo from Monochrome Watches. ...  

If anyone is interested, our friend Marc at Watches TV has a great video going over the advancements in technology and more on the watch in the video linked below. Watches TV Video

I love his videos in general. Very educational. He did a great series on the handmade 1 by Greubel too btw.

While on the topic... If I had to say.. a recent favourite GF Watches TV related video is one from SIHH 2014 where the premiered a gem set turb. Absolutely bonkers . Video linked here . Do you have any favourite GF Watches TV videos?

Glad they finally made something in a smaller size, and relatively subtle dial-side too!
