Sophisticated Simplicity: Greubel Forsey Signature 1
Over its decade-plus in existence, Greubel Forsey has produced some highly complicated watches, nearly all of which have featured at least one tourbillon. For its new Signature 1 timepiece, introduced in January at SIHH 2016, the haute horlogerie brand founded by Robert Greubel and Stephen Forsey takes a different route.The Greubel Forsey Signature 1 is the first in the new Signature collection, which will feature the works of a single watchmaker, applying his or her own creative vision to a watch that still maintains all of the distinctive horological DNA of Greubel Forsey. The watchmakers �� in this case, one Didier J.G. Cretin, a longtime member of the brand’s watchmaking team �� will draw on all of the technical resources and expertise of Greubel Forsey’s ultra-modern watchmaking atelier in La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland, to execute these original concepts, remaining true to the philosophy and standards of the brand while also enjoying a considerable amount of creative fr

Basel 2014 Preview: 3 New Watches from Carl F. Bucherer, Speake-Marin, and Ulysse Nardin
As we continue the countdown to Baselworld 2014, we present three more watches making their worldwide debuts at the fair �� two new perpetual calendar watches from Carl F.

Bucherer is releasing a limited-edition version of one of its most complicated watches, the Manero ChronoPerpetual, with a new tachymeter-scale bezel.

Naturally, it was the rubber bezel and rubber strap that initially made me think it was a rubber clad. My friend then mentioned that his friend had made a comment about the current owner having purchased it from a reputable Canadian grey market dealer (I did find some threads on TRF with quite a few people commenting on him being a standup seller) who replaced the original bezel (
