Last year, the world was introduced to the original Jui, a result of a collaboration between the Hong Kong-based Watch Ho & Co(mmunity) and the microbrand Selten. Its sophisticated dial design coupled with affordable pricing made the Jui a hit amongst watch collectors. The Jui’s dial was intricately detailed with a guilloché-style “mountain” pattern etched onto mother-of-pearl, making it unique in its price range. The concept of collectors coming together was a key factor in its success.
Marking a notable turn in the journey of revered watchmaker Greubel Forsey, the brand is releasing its final versions of the Balancier Convexe S². The revered Balancier Contemporain made its exit last year, indicating a shift in the brand’s direction. Simultaneously, co-founder Stephen Forsey stepped down from the board. Under the leadership of CEO Michel Nydegger, Greubel Forsey has been transitioning towards the production of exclusive, high-priced timepieces with an emphasis on wearability.
