{"product_id":"greubel-forsey-double-balancier-convexe","title":"Greubel Forsey Tourbillon 24 Seconds Edition Historique","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eGreubel Forsey builds fewer watches in a year than most manufactures build in a week, and the Tourbillon 24 Secondes Édition Historique is among the purest expressions of the house's work. The 44mm case is 5N red gold, hand-finished with straight graining along its flanks, and its gently asymmetric form is opened by a sapphire window at eight o'clock that lets light fall directly onto the tourbillon. The solid gold dial plate is silvered and partly overlaid with an engraved sapphire disc, a construction that gives the face real depth and lets the movement show through without ever becoming cluttered.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAt the heart of the watch is the first of Greubel Forsey's inventions, the 24 Secondes tourbillon: a cage inclined at 25 degrees that completes a full rotation every 24 seconds, far faster than a conventional one-minute tourbillon, to counter the effects of gravity in the stable positions a wristwatch spends most of its life in. The titanium cage is built from 88 components and weighs just 0.39 grams. A steel bridge with a barrel-polished finish arcs over it, set against a black PVD-treated titanium platform. The power reserve at two o'clock and the small seconds between five and six are shown with fixed pointers over rotating discs, a display created for this model alone. Finishing throughout is done entirely by hand, to the standard for which Greubel Forsey is known.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOnly 11 pieces were made in red gold, and the Édition Historique rarely appears on the open market. For the collector seeking a benchmark of contemporary haute horlogerie, invention, rarity, and hand craft at the highest level, this is a watch of real significance.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eMovement\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eManual winding\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eCase material\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRose gold\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth colspan=\"2\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"h4 m-b-0\"\u003eCaliber\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eMovement\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eManual winding\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eCaliber\/movement\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIn house\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eNumber of jewels\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e41\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eFrequency\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3 Hz\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth colspan=\"2\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"h4 m-b-0\"\u003eCase\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eCase material\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRose gold\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eCase diameter\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e43 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eCrystal\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSapphire crystal\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eDial\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGrey\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth colspan=\"2\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"h4 m-b-0\"\u003eBracelet\/strap\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eBracelet color\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBlack\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth colspan=\"2\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"h4 m-b-0\"\u003eFunctions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd colspan=\"2\"\u003eTourbillon\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Greubel Forsey","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48803014770929,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0809\/4774\/0913\/files\/Hg4M9-Edit-Edit.jpg?v=1790673694","url":"https:\/\/chronoscapecollection.com\/products\/greubel-forsey-double-balancier-convexe","provider":"Chronoscape Collection","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
