Greubel Forsey GMT: At the World From Tourbillon

The new watch marks a "first" for Greubel Forsey and in the history of GMT watches. After exploring, invented and developed new mechanisms of tourbillon in the world in the last decade, Robert Greubel and Stephen Forsey have combined to present a new complication: the GMT, that have played in their own way.

With this extraordinary timepiece, Robert Greubel and Stephen Forsey have focused their energy on the second time zone, traditionally a complication known as GMT (Greenwich Mean Time), the historical reference meridian for boaters.

One complication practical and much appreciated by the fans, the second timezone is particularly useful for business people, often on the move, who moves for pleasure, to those who have friends and relatives around the world.

True to his philosophy and the continuous search for perfection and innovation, Greubel Forsey, and went beyond the conventional way of interpreting the second time zone. The GMT and features a beautiful three-dimensional setting: a spherical globe, offering an original display time all over the world. This set of technical and poetry shows us a whole new way of perceiving the different time zones.

Located at 8 o'clock in the prominence of the globe "flying" and ingeniously fastened to the end of its swing axis - the South Pole - allowing an optimal view of its surface, made of titanium, a material resistant and lightweight.

As the globe rotates once every 24 hours in a counterclockwise direction - the natural direction of rotation of the earth - the position of the continents can interbreed with the 24-hour ring with day and night of the equator.

The night hemisphere, from 18 am to 6 hours, and marked in black ring around the globe, while the hemisphere during the day, from 6 to 18 hours and visible in the clear. And put it in evidence through the side window, deftly inserted into the case middle that lets the light as the day to symbolize the earth, and is opposed to the southern hemisphere.

So if and noon in England, the observer can immediately see which begins in Geneva or Rome in the afternoon, the sun is rising on the east coast of the United States, and that the darkness of the night is falling on the Middle East. A single quick glance is enough to know what time it is anywhere in the world - if you extend the look, and only for the sheer pleasure of admiring all the intricate details of the beauty world.

The interpretation of the second time zone, which takes place on the globe in an intuitive, accurate reads - about 12 hours - at 10 o'clock on the dial the secondary. The function of GMT is easily adjusted via the dual-function button set to 10 hours. Continuing clockwise around the dial, are the main dial at 1 hour and minute on which the indicator is part 2 of 3 and small seconds, the indicator of sectoral reserve.

The movement, specially developed for the model GMT , and with 24 seconds tourbillon, inclined at 25 °, one of the greatest inventions patented Greubel Forsey. In addition to its great reliability clockwork, its compact size allows more space to include other complications.

The combination of the elements on the dial and perfectly balanced and proportionate. It also reveals a sense of depth and dimensionality, thanks to the globe and the Tourbillon 24 Secondes positioned at 5, which contributes to a triple asymmetric, giving rise to a voltage controlled subtly plays with the circularity of the box without breaking it completely.

The bottom of the GMT reveals the mechanism linked to the world in the form of a beautiful hard hours in the world which contains the names of 24 cities, each of which represents one of several areas of the global and indicates summer time and time d 'winter. By aligning the city with the correct local time on the outer ring, the exact time will be visible on the dial side of the world.

A bright sun at midday, illuminating the bottom of the bottom of this unique timepiece.

Even in the latter setting, the GMT, is immediately recognizable signature Greubel Forsey : the careful finish since in the most minute details where we find the traditional decorations such as hand grenage, rounded corners and polished, the bead, the parties satin or bright polishing effect black. Once again a beautiful demonstration of savoir-faire in the continuous pursuit of excellence.
