Tourbillon 24 Seconds Contemporain

The Tourbillon 24 Secondes Contemporain is characterised by its round case and an emphasis on the technical aspects of the movement, particularly the Tourbillon. With the Tourbillon 24 Secondes Contemporain, Greubel Forsey has once again challenged the limits of horological architecture in three-dimensions. 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. Greubel Forsey was guided in its 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.
