One World, Four Whirlwinds: Greubel Forsey Introduces GMT Quadruple Tourbillon in Titanium
Swiss high-luxury master watchmaker Greubel Forsey is always one to impress with its haute horlogerie expertise, and to start off 2021 the brand is revisiting one of its most sophisticated complications, the GMT Quadruple Tourbillon, re-introducing the model in a fresh titanium case material.
The original GMT Quadruple Tourbillon was first launched in 2019 (pictured below), and at the time was noted for the novel, namesake combination of three-dimensional GMT display and quadruple tourbillon mechanism. Up to that point, Greubel Forsey’s GMT (introduced in 2011) quadruple tourbillon (developed in the early 2000s) were separately two of the brand?s most impressive and culturally relevant offerings, and bringing them together represented an interesting and innovative development on the part of the brand, requiring three and half years of dedicated effort to bring to fruition.
This latest GMT Quadruple Tourbillon l uses the same overall design as that of its white-gold-cased predecessor but is now housed in the lighter and sportier non-precious metal and uses a new blue-dial colorway. It comes on the heels of 2020’s Greubel Forsey Balancier S Limited Edition and 2019?s Greubel Forsey GMT Sport, both of which used titanium cases, and represents the brand?s continued interest in the material for its timepieces.
The 46.5-mm asymmetrical case of the GMT Quadruple Tourbillon is in polished titanium and sits high on the wrist, at 17.45 mm thick. On it...
