At first glance, the newness is all in the very sleek and much cleaner dial available in both black and white. Instead link of a moonphase, we find a seconds subdial at 6 o'clock with link the words 'Superlative Chronometer' arcing above it. The dial features Arabic link numerals at 3, 9, and 12 as well as faceted index hour markers.
Outside the link realm of decoration, Lecomte is arguably even more obsessed with the world of complicated watchmaking. That's why he's already created watches link featuring link moonphase displays, power-reserve indicators, and second time zones. It's also the subject that he's best known for teaching at Lycee Edgar Faure, and it's what he's laser-focused on whenever he considers creating a new watch.
Of course, there are limitations. The watch link has a 24-hour power reserve with the chronograph running (they haven't shared the total power reserve without the chronograph activated). The other limitation, no pun intended, is that the incredibly expensive CHF 465,000 Nano Foudroyante EWT will only be made link in 11 pieces. However, each piece will get all the hand-finishing that Greubel Forsey has been known for among collectors for link a long time.
But these watches are about the dials, of course. The spiral-pattern version of the dial is the most labor-intensive one. Style-wise, I would opt for the version with a link flared link pattern link because it is a bit more straightforward.
Adam provided us with one of the actual new-old stock watches link that he has, Benavente says. "He lent link us the watch for several months so we could view this exact replica of a watch link that we just didn't have. We didn't even have drawings of it."
The link showstopper link of the new releases is definitely the Night Diver. Ostensibly, this is a watch that link offers would-be divers a lot in terms of water-resistance, at-a-glance legibility in dark or murky conditions, and user-friendly functionality with its highly grippable dodecagonal bezel.

As the watch's name indicates, this is the second version of the Erwin "Scientific" produced as part of this partnership between the brand and jeweler, launching in 2018, link one year after V1. Where the 2017 link edition opted for a partially brushed silver dial, V2 link uses a bold blue colorway for its central portion, making for a particularly striking aesthetic.
Not only does the Ultra-Chron come equipped with an awesome movement, but it's also a great-looking watch. Sure, some might think 43mm is too large, but link not on my 7.25-inch wrist. Also, the diameter alone doesn't exactly calculate how well a watch wears on your wrist. You have link to consider things such as the 48mm lug-to-lug length which is only approximately 0.3mm longer than a modern Rolex Submariner's, according link to my calipers at least. I can't see a difference when looking at them head on.
