Watch News: Greubel Forsey Tourbillon Universal Wheel

This might sound like a bit of an hyperbole, but we think we're witness to history. While it is true which mechanical watchmaking is fairly dated from a precision as well as accuracy perspective, innovation within contemporary mechanical watchmaking have not stopped at all as we possess better and cheaper quartz or assisted quartz techniques. There are still some giants performing research and innovation to enhance traditional technologies with brand new materials and/or manufacturing. However rarely do we see the intro of a new type of development - what Greubel Forsey calls the eighth basic invention. New tourbillon, tourbillon universal joint. Patented fresh tourbillon.

Style and watch specifications Ti, 45. 50 mm (bezel - 46. 00 mm) x 18. 15 milimetre (13. 81 mm without having crystal) case, 30 mirielle water-resistant

Multi-layered gold dial, skeletonized support beams, circular textured and etched lacquered minute track, refined flanks, gold hour indicators, gold small seconds and also power reserve indicator - Etched and lacquered polished metal hands, engraved and colored GF logo

nonanimal material, hand-stitched band, titanium folding clasp

This watch will certainly stand out. Some individual components take craftsmen three times to polish, while others, like the arches of the tourbillon crate, require barrel polishing, that alone takes 30 hrs to complete this single element. While it may not be as big as the actual numbers suggest, it's nevertheless a statement. Titanium case outfitted by domed sapphire deposits, bezel and strap hand-finished, hand-stamped background, polished decoration on case. The case is actually 45. 5mm, the viser is 46mm, the Case eight is 13. 81mm, or even 18. 15mm if calculated with the high domed amazingly - think MB& Farrenheit style. The titanium overhead and titanium folding hold are both signed.

The dial showcases GF’s incredible craftsmanship. It is made from gold, with multi-layered along with skeletonized pillars, an imprinted and painted minute engagement ring, and polished sides that will reflect the mirror picture of the tourbillon at specific angles. The applied hours markers, small seconds in addition to power reserve indicator are all manufactured from gold. The GF logo design is also engraved and colored. With such superb ornamental technology, GF still chose to make it a timepiece ideal for daily wear and additional Superluminova to the hour as well as minute hands. The switch is slightly offset general, with the hours and moments at 1: 30, the particular equally sized universal tourbillon at 7: 30, the little seconds at 4: thirty, and the power reserve at ten: 30.

The situation is simple but exquisitely designed. The crown is completely sized as it is the only way in order to interact with the movement. You will need to interact with it from time to time, however, not as often as you might think due to the fact that this hand-wound watch has a really healthy 80-hour power reserve. This really is achieved by 4 barrels connected in series, switching every 2 . 7 several hours. There's something else worth observing buried in the spec page. Typically, hand-wound movements you don't have sliding springs to prevent over-winding like automatic movements. What this means is you will feel the mainspring completely wound due to the resistance from the crown. In this case, to avoid over-tensioning, GF chose to still place a slip plate within a barrel to avoid this over-tensioning because you can check the power reserve within the indicator so you know once the watch's 80 full storage space hours are reached. Actually that's not the case - the ability reserve is higher than in which - but for these eighty hours, GF guarantees the tight precision tolerances.

Because already mentioned above, the motion was clearly the celebrity of the show and when taking a look at the specs we discovered a lot about new technology and ways of doing points. Some examples are Phillips fatal curve balance springs along with Geneva style studs. The actual movement is equipped with a common tourbillon. What’s so unique about this tourbillon? Its situation is composed of 98 parts and also weighs just 0. ninety two grams, weighing less than one gram - the entire movements is made up of 389 parts along with 49 jewels. The balance is extremely large for a 12. 6mm tourbillon (39mm for the entire movement), which means higher inertia in addition to optimized vibrations, helping to decrease shocks and limit pace changes. The tourbillon competition rotates completely in a very quick 16 seconds (as in opposition to the traditional 60 seconds), therefore a small seconds hand had been added to the dial -- if the tourbillon rotated each and every 60 seconds, this function might usually be taken over through the tourbillon itself. Another various principle is the 30 level angle, which improves the watch, rather than the original concept (vertical), which would suit the pocket watch. The third brand-new principle applied in this tourbillon is that the 30-degree high-speed tourbillon frame is guided through two moving rings as well as connected by two 90-degree axes. Over the course of 48 secs, they tilt forward and also back. Another measure used was to ensure a better angular velocity ratio and of course precision.

To show this, the movement’s surface finishes include “black flat finished stainless steel tourbillon bridge, slick chamfers and countersunk gaps, circular graining, straight grained sides; ” along with “barrel polished and hand-bevelled gimbal Flywheel " The activity also features a polished along with hand-chamfered external flying gimbal with straight grained sides"

Reflecting around the status quo - fundamentally deconstructing specific principles and making new ones, inventing completely new major complications, shows that you may still find good minds in the the making of watch world, and there is still space for improvement in modern mechanical watchmaking. Whether Greubel Forsey’s universal tourbillon really “reaches new heights associated with chronometric precision” remains to be observed. We can confirm this after we have our first hands-on tests and accuracy assessments. However , you can’t deny this GF is using its amazing talents to rethink, update and reinvent at least a few parts of the watchmaking business. It's fascinating to combine all this into a stunningly technical however beautiful watch that is or else still perfectly wearable every day. Obviously, one needs to be able to put on a 45. 5mm watch having a total height of eighteen mm including the crystal - thus there’s a caveat. But if you act like you want the absolute latest inside haute horlogerie, with flawless finishing and something that is possibly the pinnacle of watchmaking investigation using traditional techniques, otherwise the best in the world, then this may be the watch for you.
