The new QP Balancier by Greubel Forsey is the purest, most intuitive perpetual calendar ever – uniting 12 functions and indications in a single crown, with no additional pushers, no crown positions to memorize, and no risk at any time. Powered by the patented Mechanical Computer and multiple security systems, it adjusts instantly in either direction, restarts instantly after months unwound, and stays programmed until the year 2100.
In 2015, Greubel Forsey’s QP à Équation introduced the Mechanical Computer – a 25-part mechanical brain that “knows” the Gregorian calendar rules, ensuring perfect syn-chronisation of every display. The new QP Balancier distills this breakthrough into its most refined form. It unites 12 indications – hours, minutes, seconds, power reserve, day, date, month, leap year, day/night, 24-hour display, calendar year, and the patented function selector – all operated by a single crown for effortless time and calendar setting. The result is the only perpetual calendar that requires no handbook to operate.
Hidden pushers? Multiple crown positions? Forward-only adjustment? Lengthy resets? Every limitation of traditional perpetual calendars has been eliminated. The QP Balancier turns freely in both directions at any time of day, corrects instantly even after months unwound, and locks safely during the vulnerable midnight changeover, with a visible red zone for extra security. Programmed correctly until February 28, 2100, it needs only a simple Atelier adjustment to remain accurate for another century.
The QP Balancier’s multi-level gold dial presents day, large date, and month in a single intuitive line, flanked by leap year and day/night indicators. The 45.1 mm white gold case, just 14.75 mm high, houses the 12.6 mm balance wheel inclined at 30°.
Limited to 22 timepieces in white gold, the QP Balancier is the most practical, reliable, and user-friendly perpetual calendar ever created – without a single compromise in chronometry, craftsmanship, or beauty.
