Greubel Forcey's tourbillons

Greubel Forcey Double Tourbillon 30° TechniqueThe winners of the GenevaGreubel Forsey Double Tourbillon 30° watchmaking Grand Prix (Grand Prix d'Horlogerie de Geneve) steel chronograph model Greubel Forcey Double Tourbillon 30 ° Technique (in the category of complicated watches) and Englishman Anthony Randall (recognized as the best watchmaker). That works Randall and Richard Goode in multi Tourbillon were to Greubel Forcey starting point in their journey through time. The idea tourbillon as a tool that would improve the accuracy of the balance sheet by reducing watches of perturbation introduced by the force of gravity, there was more than 200 years ago. Breguet developed the idea for the tourbillon pocket watch, which would be placed primarily in a vertical position. In watches, changing its position in space, an additional module rather complicated, not only did not produce the desired effect, but also constantly degraded performance. So the idea of multi-Tourbillon. In the first biaxial movements angle between the axes of 90 °. The influence of gravity decreased and accuracy metrics have deteriorated. The small package size limits the size of a wrist chronograph tourbillon carriages. Reducing the balance immediately resulted in a decrease in the moment of inertia. The inertial properties decreased in proportion to the cube of the change is almost the diameter. In the end watches are harder, more powerful and less on the main characteristics than the standard. To adapt to the tourbillon wristwatches, invented Grebel and Forcey structure, the latest in the history of watchmaking: a tourbillon double, where the second carriage is tilted by 30 ° and placed in the first. The internal carriage is rotated to the standard rate for Tourbillon - one revolution per minute, and external - is four times slower. Such a system has to address several objectives: to minimize the positional error, reduce the amount of watches, saving a great amount of balance and inertia properties, and to maximize the picture. Double tourbillon device consists of 128 parts. To implement the intent watchmaker had to create a unique kind of bevel gear, because nothing like the watch had not been applied. This transfer was not simply transmit rotation and to provide a very high efficiency. Developments were in the shape of the teeth, materials and production technology of non-standard parts. Before releasing Double Tourbillon 30 °, the manufacturer tested the accuracy of the chronograph. The samples, except for "distorting the tourbillon," tested the same watches Greubel Forsey with a fixed horizontal carriage Tourbillon watch and without the tourbillon. Tests have confirmed that unlike the other two watch models features Double Tourbillon 30 ° is almost independent of position in space. Experiments have shown that the nature of movements, committed balance in Double Tourbillon 30 °, is a more complicated than in a system where the angle between the carriages is 90 degrees. As a result, it appears that the tourbillon is involved most of the time, which reduces the variation between the extremes in different positions. To overcome gravity, composed associates motto for the random variation of watches, which are inevitable in life, you need to answer complicated, almost random changes in the position of balance. To implement this motto was devised following model chronographs-Quadruple Tourbillon. In its two pairs of "curves" tourbillon linked differential and rotating in opposite directions. Visually stunning turned watch. By calculations of the masters, at a speed of one revolution of the external carriage for 4 minutes difference in the daily course of the two "halves" of less than 4 hours seconds per day. With the help of the differential, which connects the tourbillon watches are accurate indicators of the average index for each of them. With strong technical case load Quadruple Tourbillon does not seem huge and amazingly sits on the wrist. And projecting beyond the design of a Tourbillon carriage very successfully Tourbillon 24 Secondes InclinedefeatedQuadruple Tourbillon by making it to the ledge and the window in the side of the casing. If the position of the wrist changes more often than the period of treatment the carriage, the work of the tourbillon is a somewhat useless. Following the Quadruple Tourbillon chronograph watch house decided to create a watch for a dynamic and active people. In Tourbillon 24 Secondes Incline unique slant makes cell turnover in 24 seconds. High speed turns made exceed the serious technical difficulties. The main one was the fact that the carriage watch in "jumps" in two and a half times faster than on a tourbillon, and it imposes more restrictions on its mass. As a result, research to produce it was picked up by a unique fusion - avional (AlCuMg2), which is used in aerospace and aviation, and some parts are made of titanium. As a result, the weight of 85 parts reduced to 0.469 grams. Was soon established Double Tourbillon 30 °. Exclusive Double Tourbillon 30 ° set in motion two series-connected drum, providing a power reserve of 72 hours. The result was a completely new and exclusive model. Watchmakers have tried to convey the architecture of modern and stylish chronograph, give the holder the opportunity to appreciate the charm of motion of time. Due to the absence of the traditional watch dial, you can see all the details of a complicated movement: the transfer wheel, going from drums to the tourbillon, the central hand and placed in position "9:00" indicator seconds. For a stylish design to create new designs had case, reflecting its character. Contours lines Technique quite fully convey the modernist spirit of the chronograph. In all watches of thought, and the screws fixed to the case belt ears, and knocked out a plate with the motto of watch house, enshrined in a circle crown. All in all, Greubel Forcey produces 100 pieces of watches a year.
