SIHH 2017: Greubel Forsey Unveils the Art Piece 2 Edition 2, Showing the Time Only On Demand
Conceived as objet d’art for the wrist, Greubel Forsey‘s Art Piece watches have tended to be platforms for philosophical statements. The latest in the series is meant to be a memento mori of sorts, one that shows the time only on demand, with the dial being dominated by an extra-large power reserve display instead. A pusher on […]
