What to know

Hand Made 2 pares Greubel Forsey’s display back to hours, minutes, small seconds and power reserve. Enamel indication surfaces and blue hands sit among exposed bridges, leaving the manufacture and finishing of the components to carry the watch’s identity. The white-gold case measures 40.9mm across and 12.8mm thick.

The brand says approximately 96% of the watch is made using hand-operated tools, requiring more than 5,000 hours of work. These are manufacturer claims rather than independent production measurements. The manually wound movement provides 72 hours of reserve. Announced in January 2025, Hand Made 2 was planned at only two or three completed watches annually.
