Greubel Forsey Tourbillon 24 Secondes Architecture

Wearing Greubel Forsey "Architecture" means wearing the city on your wrist

Greubel Forsey's Tourbillon 24-Second Architecture represents a complete departure from traditional movement structures and aesthetics, and brings an architectural experience to the wrist.

Despite the Swiss watchmaker's passion for innovation and pushing boundaries, Greubel Forsey has never incorporated the technology and aesthetics of one of its timepieces into the Tourbillon 24-Second Architecture.

The new 24-second tourbillon architecture is not easy to understand at first glance. Its components are suspended in space, revealing a harmonious combination of surfaces, shapes and movements. Its case begins to reveal the spectacle through a large opening on the side of the dial, containing the Greubel Forsey values ​​in relief that inspired this creation: Architecture, Harmony, Innovation, Technology, Craftsmanship, Passion, Science, Uniqueness and Creativity force.mens replica watch

While the case appears round when viewed from the dial side, from other angles its convex shape is revealed, along with a large synthetic sapphire crystal ring that surrounds the entire perimeter of the strap. Greubel Forsey has been integrating the later sapphire crystal windows since as early as 2007. However, it never presents a movement that can be seen from all angles above, below and around the strap.

This new case construction allows unobstructed views of even the smallest details of the movement, while allowing light to penetrate almost unhindered. Furthermore, the unit is this light, which sculpts matter and reveals the intimacy of the building through a play of shadows and reflections.

Pushing the envelope even further, Greubel Forsey has now conceived a case that is not only convex but also geometrically similar to a conical frustum. In the Tourbillon 24-Second Architecture, the diameter around the case back (47.05 mm) is wider than around the bezel (45 mm), thus combining the best of both worlds: it contains enough volume to fully showcase the movement inside architecture, while at the same time giving the impression of being much smaller than it actually is.replica Richard Mille RM UP-01

Finally, the 50-meter water-resistant titanium case features three-dimensional variable geometric lugs, hand-polished with a hand-finished straight grain, seamlessly integrated into a rubber strap with embossed text, and features a titanium folding clasp.

While the watch case itself is a feat of technology and engineering, the movement is the star of the show.

At 6 o’clock, the tourbillon rests for 24 seconds on a large spherical open working bridge, the base of which remains hidden by design. In its form, the tilt escapement defies gravity and its function is compensated. To address the critical position of the oscillator relative to gravity, the 24-second tourbillon employs rapid rotation in addition to its 25° inclination. The combination of these two elements contributes to excellent timekeeping performance, especially in stable positions.https://www.reviewluxurystore.com

The barrel bridge at 10 o’clock is similarly engraved, with a polished spherical surface, as well as polished bevels and countersunk holes. The barrel cap is engraved, lacquered and circular grained and contains three fast rotating barrels connected in series coaxially, one of which is equipped with a sliding spring to avoid excessive tension. The movement’s power source provides a 90-hour chronograph power reserve, indicated by a moving red triangle above the conical disc at 3 o’clock. This is also held by another large polished titanium bridge.

In the center we find two large curved skeleton hands in polished stainless steel, indicating the hours and minutes, mounted on the iconic Greubel Forsey tripod bridge. The time display at 8 o'clock is completed by a small seconds hand on a cylinder with polished sides - mirroring and echoing all other components nearby.

The 354 parts of the movement are sculpted and arranged in an asymmetrical and harmonious way, similar to organic processes in nature. Tourbillon 24 Secondes Architecture cheap replica watches will be released in a limited edition in 2022.
