Innovative master watchmakers Robert Greubel and Stephen Forsey introduced the first Tourbillon 24 Secondes Asymétrique in 2007, and over time it has become one of the brand’s most recognizable icons. The watch is distinguished by its asymmetric case and inclined tourbillon, which completes one full revolution every 24 seconds—hence the name. To mark the conclusion of one of its most popular and emblematic models, the brand unveiled the Greubel Forsey Tourbillon 24 Secondes Edition Historique at SIHH 2017.
At the time of its launch, the Tourbillon 24 Secondes Edition Historique was only the second Edition Historique in the brand’s history. The first came in 2010, when Greubel Forsey marked the end of the Double Tourbillon 30° Contemporaine collection. In keeping with the spirit of the Edition Historique series, the Tourbillon 24 Secondes Edition Historique incorporates several features unique to this model. Most notably, one side of the dial is filled with finely printed text outlining the Greubel Forsey philosophy.
Turning the watch over reveals the movement, where Greubel Forsey’s renowned finishing truly stands out. The bridges feature a distinctive frosted finish complemented by sharply defined polished bevels, while the slightly domed jewels are set in gold chatons with polished countersinks. Altogether, the movement offers a remarkable level of detail to admire.
Please note that Greubel Forsey generously offers free servicing of the timepiece to the winning buyer.
