The three-dimensional, water resistant case is crafted entirely from a block of sapphire. This task alone included over 900 hours of machinery. There are 50 olived-domed jewels in gold chatons. Glossy gold and blue colors and a flat black polish cover the watch’s dial.
The watch is part of an exclusive 11-piece edition. According to Steven Rostovsky, the North American distributor for Greubel Forsey, the brand’s American market embraces their masterful timepieces. “Every USA collaboration has been very successful for us with complete sell through and in fact sell out.”

The duo’s constant yearning to improve their timepieces’ performance allows them to standout among their global competitors.
