Art Piece Edition Historique

The Greubel Forsey Art Piece Edition Historique Double Tourbillon is a technical masterpiece that integrates a double-axis inclined tourbillon system to enhance precision. Comprising two tourbillon carriages, this intricate mechanism rotates the balance wheel in multiple planes, mitigating positional errors. The tourbillon is prominently displayed on a frosted, blue-coated titanium main plate, set lower than the raised dial, creating a sense of depth accentuated by the domed sapphire crystal and a substantial 44mm by 15.95mm case. The raised dial is exquisitely engraved in relief with the brand's values, giving it a unique aesthetic. Surprisingly, time indication is minimal, with a red hour marker, small seconds sub-dial, and a shutter-covered minutes window activated by a crown pusher.

The movement, consisting of 475 parts (including 130 for the tourbillon), features two mainspring barrels in series, one with a slipping clutch. The timpiece minimalistic case back showcases a frosted three-quarter plate, gold chatons, and relief-engraved signatures. The watch offers a captivating view, with the tourbillon carriages elegantly supported by a slender black-polished steel bridge.
