About the brand

Greubel Forsey is a distinguished name in the world of haute horology, renowned for its relentless pursuit of precision, innovation, and craftsmanship. Founded in 2004 by Robert Greubel and Stephen Forsey, the brand quickly established itself as a leader in the luxury watch industry by producing timepieces that push the boundaries of traditional watchmaking.

From the very beginning, Greubel Forsey set out to redefine the limits of mechanical watchmaking. The brand's philosophy centers around the idea of continual improvement and innovation, with a particular focus on the tourbillon, a mechanism originally invented to improve the accuracy of pocket watches by counteracting the effects of gravity. Greubel Forsey has taken this concept to new heights with its multi-axis tourbillons and inclined tourbillons, which have set new standards for precision in wristwatches.

One of the hallmarks of Greubel Forsey is its dedication to in-house development and craftsmanship. Every component of a Greubel Forsey watch is meticulously designed, manufactured, and finished in-house, ensuring the highest standards of quality and precision. The brand's workshops are equipped with state-of-the-art machinery and staffed by highly skilled artisans who are dedicated to preserving traditional watchmaking techniques while embracing modern innovations.

Greubel Forsey's timepieces are known for their complex and innovative movements, often featuring multiple tourbillons, inclined balance wheels, and other groundbreaking mechanisms. These movements are not only technically impressive but also beautifully finished, with intricate hand-finishing techniques such as black polishing, frosting, and hand-engraving. The attention to detail in the finishing process is unparalleled, with each component being treated as a work of art in its own right.

In addition to its technical prowess, Greubel Forsey is also celebrated for its unique and distinctive designs. The brand's watches are characterized by their bold and unconventional aesthetics, with multi-level dials, exposed movements, and asymmetrical cases. These design elements not only highlight the technical complexity of the watches but also create a visually striking and cohesive look that sets Greubel Forsey apart from other luxury watchmakers.

Despite being a relatively young brand, Greubel Forsey has received numerous accolades and awards for its innovations and contributions to watchmaking. The brand's commitment to excellence has earned it a loyal following among collectors and enthusiasts who appreciate the extraordinary craftsmanship and technical ingenuity that go into each timepiece.

Greubel Forsey's dedication to pushing the boundaries of watchmaking is also reflected in its ongoing research and development efforts. The brand continually explores new materials, techniques, and concepts to further enhance the precision and performance of its watches. This commitment to innovation ensures that Greubel Forsey remains at the forefront of the industry, continually setting new standards for what is possible in mechanical watchmaking.

In summary, Greubel Forsey is a brand that epitomizes the pinnacle of horological excellence. Its unwavering commitment to innovation, craftsmanship, and precision has established it as a leader in the luxury watch industry. For those who seek timepieces that combine technical mastery with artistic beauty, Greubel Forsey offers a collection that is truly unparalleled, making each watch a testament to the brand's vision and dedication to the art of watchmaking.

About the watch

The Greubel Forsey Double Tourbillon 30° Edition Historique Watch is a remarkable timepiece that epitomizes the brand’s commitment to pushing the boundaries of horological innovation. This watch is not only a celebration of the brand’s technical prowess but also a work of art that showcases exquisite craftsmanship and meticulous attention to detail.

At the heart of the Double Tourbillon 30° Edition Historique is Greubel Forsey’s groundbreaking double tourbillon mechanism. This innovative system consists of two tourbillons, one nested inside the other. The inner tourbillon cage is inclined at a 30-degree angle and completes one rotation every 60 seconds, while the outer tourbillon cage rotates once every four minutes. This dual tourbillon arrangement significantly improves the watch’s timekeeping precision by counteracting the effects of gravity on the escapement from multiple angles.

The watch’s movement, the caliber GF02s, is entirely developed and hand-finished in-house by Greubel Forsey. Comprising over 400 individual components, this complex movement is a testament to the brand’s mastery of fine watchmaking. The movement features hand-polished bevels, frosted bridges, and a hand-engraved barrel cover, showcasing the level of craftsmanship that goes into each Greubel Forsey timepiece. The sapphire crystal caseback allows for an unobstructed view of the intricate movement, allowing the wearer to appreciate its mechanical beauty.

The dial of the Double Tourbillon 30° Edition Historique is a visual masterpiece. It features a multi-level design with an off-center hours and minutes display, a power reserve indicator, and a small seconds sub-dial. The dial’s intricate layout provides a sense of depth and dimension, with each element meticulously crafted and positioned for optimal readability. The hour and minute hands are polished and beveled, while the indices are hand-applied, adding to the watch’s luxurious aesthetic.

The case of the Double Tourbillon 30° Edition Historique is crafted from either 18-carat white gold or platinum, measuring 44mm in diameter. This substantial size ensures a commanding presence on the wrist, while the curved lugs and ergonomic design ensure a comfortable fit. The case features a combination of polished and satin-brushed finishes, creating a sophisticated contrast that enhances the watch’s overall elegance.

One of the standout features of this edition is the historical engravings on the caseband. These engravings pay homage to the pioneering watchmakers and innovations that have inspired Greubel Forsey’s work. Each engraving is meticulously hand-carved, adding a unique and personal touch to the timepiece.

The Double Tourbillon 30° Edition Historique is completed with a high-quality alligator leather strap, secured with a matching gold or platinum folding clasp. The strap is designed to provide both comfort and durability, making it suitable for everyday wear while maintaining the watch’s luxurious appeal.

In summary, the Greubel Forsey Double Tourbillon 30° Edition Historique Watch is a testament to the brand’s relentless pursuit of horological excellence. Its innovative double tourbillon mechanism, exquisite craftsmanship, and unique design elements make it a standout piece in the world of high-end watchmaking. For collectors and enthusiasts, this watch represents the perfect fusion of technical mastery and artistic beauty, making it a prized addition to any collection.
