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.

An addictive opera
After The Godfather, the brand is now creating another cinematic monument with Scarface.
The original Opera model, launched in 2017, marked the beginning of a turning point for the brand, but also for watchmaking, and for good reason, being the first luxury timepiece to combine a Haute Horlogerie tourbillon with a music box with two combs and two cylinders. After Melody from the musical Cats and The Godfather from the film The Godfather, Jacob & Co. responds to Scarface with a Tony theme song.
Following the same principle as its predecessor, the music box plays 120 notes by simply pressing the button at 2 o'clock, and the entire dial rotates 120 degrees under anti-reflective sapphire crystal, except for the time display. Under the right comb, however, appears the title of the 1983 film, as well as the image of the protagonist. The centrepiece of the piece is an 18-carat rose gold globe inscribed with the words "The World is Yours", which appears in the entrance hall of Tony Montana's Miami mansion. The collaboration between Jacob & Co. and film giant Paramount Pictures is thus reinforced by these two limited editions of 88 pieces each (18K gold and black titanium DLC).
