Impressively, the cathedral chimes remained audible as Stephen Forsey closed his palm completely around the Greubel Forsey Grand Sonnerie in a (knowingly) futile attempt to silence the gongs.
But how? And what else does this exceptional timepiece, one that I might call the best in the world, hold in store?
We’re not even at the SIHH yet, but some of the biggest news of the New Year breaks today: Greubel Forsey has announced their very first chiming complication, and it’s nothing less than a grande et petite sonnerie with minute repeater. This is a monumental achievement for any watch manufacturer, and from Greubel Forsey, it’s news of interest to anyone with an interest in modern horology; their defining complication is of course, the mult-axis inclined tourbillon, but with the debut of a grande sonnerie, they become a specialist in very high end chiming complications as well.

If you are into watches, and most definitely into an icon of watchmaking named the Omega Speedmaster, the word #SpeedyTuesday might familiar. Created in 2012 by our colleagues of Fratello Watches, this must not be sued up to a single tag for social media but more as the rallying cry of all Speedmaster passionates (and, yes, we’re amongst them). To mark this great achievement – which definitely serves Omega as a whole – the brand is proud to introduced a 2,012 pieces limited edition with several unique features, inspired by a 1978 Vintage “Alaska Project” edition, the Omega Speedmaster Speedy Tuesday Limited Edition.
It’s Tuesday, and for Omega fans, that means it’s #SpeedyTuesday. The hashtag, created by Fratello Watches founder Robert-Jan Broer in 2012, has since been adopted throughout the world by Speedmaster owners and enthusiasts who celebrate the company’s many editions of its “hero model” on the second day of the week.
Omega likes its collectors, especially vocal ones. I’m proud to help announce the limited-edition Omega Speedmaster “Speedy Tuesday” Limited Edition watch. Omega Speedmaster fans have been asking for a modern black and white dial model of the Speedmaster Professional, and here it is.
