The Greubel Forsey Tourbillon 24 Secondes Vision premiered at 2015 SIHH in Geneva and was the watchmaker’s timepiece at a lower price-point than normal for the company. Design-wise, the watch is as thin as possible but still accommodates the inclined tourbillon cage.
The dome is an interesting element that directs the eye to the lower bridge of the tourbillon. This bridge takes its geometry from a Roman vault and its surface is gently polished by hand. Obtaining a perfectly straight reflection over the whole piece requires expertise and experience that each bridge finished in this way is signed by the craftsman who executed it. The nice play of colors and finishes creates a spectacular visual and a nice accentuation on the 72-power reserve indicator.
About Greubel Forsey
Robert Greubel and Stephen Forsey have been working together for nearly 20 years in a relationship founded on their shared technical creativity and quest for perfection. In 1999 they began working on a new generation of tourbillon specifically designed to improve the timekeeping of the mechanical watch. Four years later they unveiled “Greubel Forsey” and stunned horological aficionados with their innovative Double Tourbillon 30°, a timepiece clearly demonstrating their twin goals of innovation and excellence.
