Balancier Convexe S² in titanium 41.5 mm
Presenting the Balancier Convexe S² in a diameter of 41.5 mm. Available in grey or blue, the watch is a veritable urban landscape, highly architectural and with ultra-fine contrasting lines, showcased within an unprecedented size.
The Balancier Convexe S² maintains continuity with its heritage and stands out through more refined and innovative perspectives. This exquisite calibre is now available in two editions, each in a brand new 41.5 mm case.
In the apex, the hour-ring is at its highest possible to the sapphire crystal. Enhanced in luminescent white, the hour and minute hands have never appeared so high. They almost seem to make contact with the glass, giving the illusion of being able to touch the time. We find the double openworked "arch bridge" with suspended wheels, whose architecture reveals the movement's patented mechanics. Bridges, elevations, levels, contrasts, relief, vanishing lines: the piece is clearly inspired by a city, one of those contemporary metropolis explored by #greubelforsey collectors, between skyline and waterfront.
Skyline and waterfront
Both could be the inspiration for the two versions of the timepiece. In the first, multiple shades of grey recall urban architecture. #greubelforsey deploys a wide range of finishes to magnify the slightest chromatic variation, from frosted plates to straight-grained and mirror-polished surfaces. An isolated coloured zone stands out for the power reserve, with an arrow pointing towards the 72 hours chronometric precision.
In the blue version, #greubelforsey plays with direct contrast. With a light-coloured mainplate, a midnight-blue hour-ring and elevated luminescent hour-markers standing out, the large balance and small seconds at 8 o'clock revealed on the inclined surface, the composition is as soft as it is contrasting.
