Greubel Forsey's tagline is "the art of invention," and its iconoclastic architecture straddles the intersection of sculpture and engineering. But it's a very thin line on which to balance. While the brand's timepieces do have an avant-garde visual flair, they're always tempered by chronograph function, creating a gorgeous yet restrained tension between visual beauty and wearing purpose.
