Greubel Forsey Renaissance d’une Montre: a special plan to breathe new life into old watches

Greubel Forsey replica provides an option to breathe new life into old watches. Not only has aesthetic changes, but also added new functions and indications. We explored the complexity of this new idea, which will be launched in 2023.

This is an interesting concept. Perhaps the first product offered by any watchmaker. They will be responsible for upgrading your Koppelfort watch. Not only can the external parts and aesthetics be changed, but also the movement can be changed. Modifications are not limited to aesthetic changes, but also include the addition of new functions and instructions. This is only possible because Koppelfors is a fully integrated manufacturer that knows how to make and improve every part of the watches they create. This is also a confident expression of their technical ability. Although we can’t imagine how complicated it would be to incorporate new features, functions, indicators and aesthetics into their watches, we can certainly see that this is a very difficult task. One is the most difficult and requires the best skills.

Greubel Forsey is already giving us a glimpse of the product. For example, the current owner of the Balancier Contemporain (regardless of the version, including the version launched in 2017), this is already a very good watch, with the option of being equipped with a second time zone, tilting escapement, and even a tourbillon ( To replace the plane balance wheel) wheel) for modification. Please note that the original Balancier Contemporain was a chronograph without a tilted balance wheel. Tilt balance was added to a variant called Balancier S released in August 2020, but even this new model is not equipped with a second time zone.

By the way, on November 21st, Dubai Watch Week will release a new version of Balancier S (called Balancier S²), which will carry this new face of the brand. We have seen the release material and it is great and can’t wait to see the real watch to process and photograph it for a full review.

As another example, the gorgeous GMT already displays local time, second time zone and world time through its earth and city dials, and can be equipped with another time zone display that is coaxial with the hour and minute hands.

As a final example, the Tourbillon 24 Secondes Vision can be equipped with a small seconds dial at 4 o’clock, a large date display, moon phases, or its power reserve can be modified to support the 3D method of double tourbillon 30° technology.

Greubel Forsey Renaissance d’une Montre
“Our studio is constantly developing rapidly. Our timepieces are more advanced than ever in terms of accuracy, reliability and innovation. However, our customers are very much Interested. How can we preserve the soul of these timepieces while providing them with the best expertise we currently have?”.

The questions raised by Antonio Calce, CEO of Greubel Forsey and member of the Executive Board, have been answered in the automotive and aerospace industries. Through a plan aimed at retrofitting existing vehicles, the brand was able to retain the chassis, history and soul of one of the vehicles while providing it with a major engine update.

This is exactly the principle of the “Renaissance d’une Montre” project. Its name is reminiscent of the long-term “Naissance d’une Montre” project hosted by Greubel Forsey, and it will soon provide a “remake” for the brand’s creation. Owners of certain Gaupper-Force timepieces will soon be able to contact la Chaux-de-Fonds Atelier to request changes to the external parts and even the movement of their high quality replica watches in order to provide them with new aesthetics or new functions and instructions. Same Timepiece, same story, same soul, but every owner will be able to work closely with the brand to conceive a second life.

This innovative plan is the first in the history of haute horology. Once the different possibilities offered by each movement are analyzed and recognized, the plan will be fully implemented from January 2023.

Greubel Forsey fake is a fully integrated manufacturer with a wide range of possibilities. The “Renaissance d’une Montre” program will also extend to external elements, such as the case material, strap, crown or pointer color. In fact, every work reworked in this way will become a very private and personalized creation.
