Greubel Forsey · Hand Made 1
Strengths
The most engaging aspect is where the components come from: the spring and wheels take shape under a craftsperson’s hands. The open construction reveals the result without needing an additional display.
Things to consider
The 43.5 × 13.5 mm case deserves a fitting. The historical GPHG price does not replace a current quotation, and one watch a year does not guarantee an available order slot.
Farer · Stratton II
Strengths
The detailed moon and stone dial give the watch character. Its strongest elements are the material and display detail.
Things to consider
45 hours will not cover a whole weekend without winding. December 21 shipping remains a plan.
