The Balancier Convexe S² isolates the most powerful elements of the original Balancier S and accentuates and modernises them. Instead of soft curves and a discreet aesthetic, the Balancier Convexe S² is all about contrast and power. It shares the movement of its predecessor but introduces a new case, new finishing and a new design. Greubel Forsey chose to accentuate the contrast – and therefore the legibility – of its dial, with an intense background that cuts through the balance bridge between 5 and 9 o’clock. The edges are sharp and the matt-effect handgrained finish allows the bridge and indices to stand out much more clearly. The latter have been reduced to their simplest expression, with 12 towering indices for 12 hours.

Ergonomic and contemporary, the new titanium bracelet is in perfect continuity with the titanium case. The Balancier Convexe S² affirms its place in the fine watchmaking of today and tomorrow as a timepiece that sacrifices nothing to the excellence of artisanal Swiss watchmaking. Yet it is a timepiece designed for everyday use, not one to be stored away in a safe. The Balancier Convexe S² also features a slightly larger diameter that helps assert its new personality. Increased to 46.5mm, it is now topped by a striking brushed titanium bezel with polished flanks, instead of the key Greubel Forsey values.
