Greubel Forsey and the art of high end finishing in watchmaking
Вставка
- Опубліковано 23 лют 2015
- Finishes on a watch tell us a lot about the complexity of a mechanism as the well as the skills of the watchmaker. At Greubel Forsey, finishes are considered as important as the technology or the design. Since the brand's founding ten years ago, movement finish has always been a major priority and today this department is the largest in the manufacture. As a reaction to the industrialisation of manufacturing processes, each part is individually decorated by a specialist following a precise protocol. Just imagine: finishing one bridge requires about 15 hours of work. In the end, every component must be impeccable, with neither impurity nor defect visible. Once the components are decorated, the watchmaker can reassemble the movement taking care not to scratch the components. The entire process means that it takes at least 6 months to manufacture and finish one single watch.

Lovely. I seem to recall that a lot of the Minerva folks went to Greubel after Richemont bought Minerva from the Gnutti family in 2006.
It's always incredible what's behind Greubel & Forsey what the people made it's just fascinating... I always enjoy the videos you guys made always brings a smile on my face even more if its Greubel & Forsey the master of complications...
Thanks a lot for your comments and yes Greubel Forsey is very very special!

Love the channel, keep up the good work TheWATCHES.tv
Thanks a lot for your comment and we'll keep producing!!!
I would love that job, I swear I must have been a watchmaker in another life.
watchguy79 it’s never to late to become one or become a watch repairer
I took it up in my 60s. I'm now in my 70s. Just opened a watch and clock shop.
It would drive me crazy to sit and work on such small parts every day. That's why these people are true artisans and credit is due their craftsmanship !!!
BTW when are G&F coming out with a suspenders watch ?
You're absolutely right and that's why we're so immensely in love with high-end watchmaking; they are crazy!!!!! These guys are so passionate about what they do and we have so much respect for this. I can't think of other industries where people do the same things every day and remain as committed to absolute perfection, even for things that nobody will ever see at the end, but it's there, it's in this piece of art!!!!
I appreciate their passion also and hold it in high regard. That kind of passion is hard to find in any workplace in modern times...but I am glad it does exist, especially in something as spectacular as a luxury time piece. After all, these are works of wearable art and we... their gallery.
Rusty Cox Again, you're totally right!!!
Thank you.
BTW it's an odd feeling to be right. ..could you please tell my wife, she's not used to thinking of me that way.
Rusty Cox Hahaha, that's really a total other ball game, we'll let you manage!!!
wow .... such passion ...
I love the fine work .
I am wondering what you use to polish those pieces. The type of wood and anything else you use with it thx . Wonderful to watch the art of perfection.
Did you ever get a reply. I'm also interested in this.i have some movements I'd like to bring up a level. Also I can never get pivots perfect after the lathe.
@@fior2373 hi no I didn't receive any reply however, I just wanted to know. You are in doing the work and I just want to know. I used to be Jeweller many years ago, I used what we called GREESE. That removed all the scratch marks from fine sand paper and then we used red Rouge for high shine. I'm guessing that's what they are doing. For white gold I used white Rouge. Try .
You can find these items in any Jewelry supplier. Good luck
one thing that always come to my mind while i see watchmakers working so carfully in sitting posture for hours, what kind of health issues or occupational hazard they experience?
Time index 1:05, it appears aglage is being applied using a tool from 3M. Does anyone know where this can be procured?
Bonjour, c'est un cabron rose de 3 microns que vous trouvez chez tous les bons revendeurs d'outillage d'horlogers
