DESCRIPTION

  • Greubel Forsey presents the Tourbillon 24 Secondes Contemporain

    Greubel Forsey launches the Tourbillon 24 Secondes Contemporain , which is characterised by its round case and the emphasis on the technical aspects of the movement, particularly the tourbillon. With the Tourbillon 24 Secondes Contemporain, Robert Greubel and Stephen Forsey have once again challenged the frontiers of horological architecture in three-dimensions.

    The depth of vision is enhanced for the first time at Greubel Forsey by the royal blue finish of the plates and bridges. The Tourbillon 24 Secondes Contemporain is a unique edition of 33 pieces featuring a titanium movement and platinum case.

    An Expression of Architecture

    The aim from the very start of its development was to offer a three dimensional view within a circular backdrop highlighting the beauty of Greubel Forsey’s Tourbillon 24 Secondes mechanism. Robert Greubel and Stephen Forsey were guided in their architectural and technological creativity by a desire to achieve aesthetic balance in every dimension.  The distinctive 12 o’clock index in relief is an example of the innovative spatial management of the components within this architectural study. A transparent synthetic sapphire tourbillon bridge gives a captivating and hypnotic impression of the regulator floating in mid-air and underlines one of the highly creative challenges which are to be found throughout the timepiece. And what makes it individual to every eye yet brings it a perfect harmony is the marriage of simplicity and complexity.

    Royal Blue

    The Tourbillon 24 Secondes Contemporain is distinguished by the magical royal blue finish of the titanium movement juxtaposed with the flamboyance of the tourbillon. This unique colour recalls to mind the ocean’s abyss and strengthens the depth of architecture of the movement. The purity of this intense blue finish, achieved through a special oxidation process is the fruit of considerable research and testing and, shimmering in an infinite range of hues according to the light, gives the timepiece an unparalleled vivacity.

    The Tourbillon 24 Secondes

    This timepiece houses Greubel Forsey’s third fundamental invention, the Tourbillon 24 Secondes:  a highly-efficient fast-rotating – 24-second revolution – tourbillon cage inclined at 25 ° which minimises negative effects of gravity on the oscillator, particularly in stable positions.
