Innovation, passion and creativity are words that immediately spring to mind when one views a Greubel Forsey masterpiece. Seeking to improve upon the traditional past, and create a new chapter in the world of horology, the team of Robert Greubel and Stephen Forsey created their firm in 2004 with the desire to excel in design and performance.
Their Double Tourbillon 30° wristwatch exemplifies the values Greubel Forsey seek every day. First released in 2004 as their first “invention” the double tourbillon visible in the lower third of the movement consists of 128 parts and weighing a mere 1.17 grams. There are two tourbillon cages with the outer tourbillon revolving once every four minutes, while the smaller interior tourbillon inclined at a 30° angle revolving once a minute. This combination averages out the gravity inducing errors on the escape wheel. The mastery of their craftsmanship is not only in the innovation challenges they seek, but also in the high level and skill of finish found on each watch. Whether a part will be seen by the naked eye, the movement is a visual work of art. There is a meticulous amount of detail and hand-finishing with beveled edges, straight-grained surfaces, even the use of mother-of-pearl to make the dial stand out.
The present watch is fresh to the market and in excellent condition. The world of horology is about both form and function, Greubel Forsey set to make a watch that is both technically a masterpiece that few can compete with, and has a strong solid appearance.
