Greubel Forsey presents a platinum version of the Tourbillon 24 Secondes watch.
Patented in 2004, the Tourbillon 24 Secondes Incliné (T24Si) is the Swiss luxury watch atelier’s third fundamental invention and continues the exploration into minimising the effects of gravity on the regulating organ. This is achieved in the T24Si by means of an innovative tourbillon cage undergoing rapidly changing positions with a high angular velocity.
After launching white gold and red gold versions, Greubel Forsey has created the Tourbillon 24 Secondes platinum variant featuring an anthracite black gold dial.
Measuring 43.50mm in diameter, the case is fitted with asymmetrical convex synthetic sapphire crystal glasses on the front and case-back side.
The Greubel Forsey Tourbillon 24 Secondes watch is also available in red gold and white gold versions.
