Description

The Greubel & Forsey Tourbillon 24 Secondes – Vision in White Gold is a masterpiece of horological engineering, seamlessly combining innovation with timeless elegance. This watch represents a perfect balance between technical prowess and aesthetic refinement, showcasing Greubel & Forsey’s dedication to pushing the boundaries of traditional watchmaking.

At the heart of this timepiece is the remarkable Tourbillon 24 Secondes mechanism, an invention unique to Greubel & Forsey. Unlike traditional tourbillons, which rotate once every minute, this one completes a full rotation in just 24 seconds, set at a 25-degree incline. This faster rotation and angled positioning improve the timekeeping accuracy by compensating for the effects of gravity on the movement. This complex mechanism is housed within a sleek and understated 43.5mm white gold case, which features a gently curved profile that sits comfortably on the wrist.

The dial of the Tourbillon 24 Secondes – Vision is a study in minimalistic sophistication. It features a clean, silvery white finish, with finely polished, applied indices and hands that exude a subtle yet striking presence. The off-centered tourbillon is visible through a discreet aperture at 9 o’clock, offering a glimpse of the intricate craftsmanship beneath. The small seconds subdial at 4 o’clock and the power reserve indicator at 2 o’clock are thoughtfully integrated, ensuring that the dial remains balanced and harmonious.

On the reverse side, the sapphire crystal case back reveals the exquisite finishing of the movement, with hand-beveled bridges and plates that reflect Greubel & Forsey’s commitment to the highest standards of traditional Swiss watchmaking.

This exceptional timepiece is paired with a hand-stitched black alligator leather strap, perfectly complementing the white gold case. The Greubel & Forsey Tourbillon 24 Secondes – Vision in White Gold is not just a watch but a true work of art, designed for the discerning collector who appreciates the pinnacle of watchmaking excellence.

Greubel & Frosey – bio

Greubel Forsey is a story of passion and family. Both the French and the English watchmakers have followed their paternal and finally, these determined kids, joined their routes as respectable watchmakers at the famous Renaud & Papi (complex movement manufacturer).
From 1990, they worked as independent watchmakers and later founded CompliTime in 2001 to produce complicated movements for distinguished watches factories.
The Greubel Forsey adventure officially started in 2004 when they presented the Double Tourbillon 30° Vision at Baselworld. The success from this date brought the Richemont Group to acquire a minority stake in the company helping the brand to various accomplishments such as the Tourbillon 24 Secondes, the Quadruple Tourbillon, the Double Balancier 35° and the signature GMT model.
They share a common view and transcript their spirit into producing around a 100 timepieces per year with surprising movements and creative designs.
