And yet of its kind, it’s also an odd sort of value proposition – like the Credor Eichi and Eichi II, it exists in a class which is both defined by, and consists of, only Greubel Forsey. If you’re fascinated by watchmaking as an art form, as well as by watchmaking as an obsessive investigation into fundamental problems in chronometry, there really isn’t anything like the watchmaking at Greubel Forsey. I can’t even remotely afford watchmaking at this level but I can’t afford one of Monet’s Water Lilies either, and I’m glad both exist and that I can see them. The only problem with considering watches like this as a form of art (for which I think an argument can be made) is that you can’t see them in a museum and I think it’d be a wonderful thing if there were a museum of watchmaking that included both vintage and modern pieces like this – seeing a Greubel Forsey Quadruple Tourbillon GMT in the metal, on extended loan from a patron of the horological arts, would be mighty fine.
