Lot Essay

The present “Tourbillon 24 Secondes Incline” is preserved in ‘Like New’ overall condition and is furthermore offered with all its accessories.

Third fundamental invention of Greubel Forsey, the manufacture crafted the present timepiece with a tourbillon mechanism inclined at a 25 degree angle, which appears detached from the gear train. Completing a rotation in just 24 seconds, the tourbillon mechanism was crafted from extremely low-density alloys, stemming from the aeronautical and aerospace industries, in order to withstand the stresses imposed by the high speed of rotation.

Characteristic of Greubel Forsey timepieces, the asymmetrical shape of the beautiful 18k white gold case enables the wearer to observe in detail the mechanism through a sapphire crystal opening in the band.
Founded by Robert Greubel and Stephen Forsey, the manufacture was created through their shared technical creativity and quest for excellence. With their deep traditional knowledge gained over four decades of combined experience, Robert and Stephen continue to build high-end complicated timepieces for the most astute collectors.
