Greubel Forsey GMT Sport Watch Review

At first glance, Greubel Forsey and “sports” don’t seem to go together very well. On the one hand, it’s an incredibly complex mechanism that costs more than an NFL insurance payout; on the other, it’s an activity designed to damage watches. So seeing this niche Swiss watchmaker jump on the Gerald Genta bandwagon is a bit of an anachronism at first… high quality replica watches

You see, calling the GMT Sport a sports watch isn’t entirely correct, just like you can’t consider other Greubel Forsey timepieces as non-sports watches. Despite the pure haute horlogerie on display, the movements are among the most stable, shock-resistant, and resilient, with or without a tourbillon.

The difference is that they’ve always been hunk-of-precious metal creations with a level of finishing that would make Abraham Louis Breguet nervous. In that regard, the Sport is definitely different. luxury replica watches

The 45mm titanium case is surprisingly light despite its size, and it sits very comfortably on the wrist without the sharp edges and raised crystal that used to house the bottom globe. It’s still large, but you can easily forget you’re wearing it.

In terms of looks, though, this watch will impress you. It’s hard to pin down with a static image, but the construction of the bezel is like an optical illusion from Salvador Dali. From the side, it’s oval, with a very curved crystal on top; from the front, it looks round. I don’t know how they got the crystal to fit, but it’s a cool aesthetic shift.buy replica Watches

The movement, while new, is pure Greubel Forsey. The curved central hand is supported by a large bridge, which adds a lot of architectural feel to the dial and leaves room for the GMT globe and the signature tilted tourbillon, this time at 25 degrees. It’s very easy to read the local time, although I have to admit that my knowledge of global geography is not good enough to use the globe as a world time. replica Richard Mille Felipe Massa

You can flip the watch over to show the 24 time zones (with daylight saving time) written on the back, but this requires taking the watch off, which is a bit annoying. But honestly, "a bit annoying" is about as far as I get from this watch. Plus, the letters around the bezel spell out Greubel Forsey's key words like a watchmaking mantra. replica Audemars Piguet Royal Oak

Compared to other sports watches, the GMT Sport isn't... well, not comparable. It's not Greubel Forsey's attempt to get in on all the exciting action of Gerald Genta (although the timing of the release suggests otherwise). Instead, it just makes one of its signature pieces, the GMT Earth, more wearable and practical - words I usually associate with the brand and sports.

Now they just need to put it on an integrated bracelet; rubber is nice, but come on. When it comes to sports luxury, it's all about the bracelet, even if the Greubel Forsey GMT Sport is in a league of its own. replica Franck Muller watches
