Since launching their eponymous brand in 2004—having met at the famed complication maker Renaud & Papi—Robert Greubel and Stephen Forsey have been responsible for the design, development, and manufacturing of some of the most complex and innovative watches of the 21st century. Their timepieces have received numerous accolades, including the prestigious Aiguille d’Or at the Grand Prix d'Horlogerie de Genève (GPHG), thanks to groundbreaking complications such as the Double Tourbillon 30° (DT30°), the Quadruple Tourbillon à Différentiel, and the Tourbillon 24 Secondes Incliné.
The Tourbillon 24 Secondes Incliné is presented in Greubel Forsey’s signature asymmetric case design, in this instance cased in platinum. The enlarged aperture at 7 o’clock showcases the exceptionally light (0.39 grams) and high-speed tourbillon mechanism, which completes a full rotation in 24 seconds while inclined at 25 degrees. This intricate mechanism is also viewable through an aperture in the side of the case, offering an additional perspective on its dynamic movement.
We are pleased to offer this exceptional timepiece, which has been freshly serviced, in excellent condition.
