Established in 2004, the Swiss watchmaking company is said to specialize in highly complex timepieces. In 2006, Greubel Forsey offloaded a stake of 20% to Richemont.

Antonio Calce said: “This independence will allow Greubel Forsey to define the next stages of development and maturity with complete freedom.”
