I tried the larger Balancier out in person in CDMX a few weeks ago. It was so amazingly comfortable. They effectively have no lugs. The ultimate every day watch IMO.

Right? Greubel Forsey was nice enough to invite me on a factory tour a couple of days ago. I was able to try on alot of different pieces and all watches from the Convexe line are extremely comfortable. If you have worn Richard Mille watches, they can easily rival them comfort wise.

I was also surprised to see that the older, very large Convexe models fit my wrist quite well due to the lugless design. Out of the ones I was able to try on, I liked the new Double Balancier the best. Super comfortable, very light, the typical, perfect movement decoration Greubel Forsey is known for and just so much depth to the movement. I also really enjoy the more avantgarde design of the Convexe line.

Yes definitely. Basically RM level comfort but in a much classier and better manufactured/produced package.

Not sure I could narrow it down to only five, so to keep things simpler I'm doing top five in the collection. List in no order, could also change depending on the day

1) VC 222
2) VC Overseas Perpetual Calendar Ultra Thin
3) IWC Portuguese Minute Repeater
4) FPJ Chronometre Souverain
5) IWC Tribute to Pallweber

1) RRCCII Black
2) Patek 5970P
3) FPJ Ruthenium Tourbillon Souverain
4) Rolex 116595RBOW "Rainbow"
5) Philippe Dufour Duality
