On 29th October 2015, Greubel Forsey's Tourbillon 24 Secondes Vision was awarded the Grand Prix of the “Aiguille d’Or” at the Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Genève (read our presentation of the timepiece here). At this year's SIHH, the brand presented an all-new version of the timepiece: the white gold case has made way for red gold, while the dial has adopted an anthracite hue.
The case keeps its slender proportions, while in order to house and display the Tourbillon 24 Secondes, a sapphire dome has been carved out on the timepiece’s display back, which forms a subtle vertical asymmetry.
The refinement of this timepiece stands in the enamelled indications on the solid gold dial, the hand-finished hands, or the lower tourbillon bridge, whose “barrelled and polished” are discreetly signed by the movement finisher who completed it.
The timepiece presents two distinct faces. On the front, the lines exude an almost neoclassical purity. Meanwhile the movement side plunges us into a world of extreme-precision mechanics.
