A new watch Greubel Forsey with the function of GMT
The watch brand Greubel Forsey has introduced a new and uniquewatch with the feature of GMT. During the last decade the watch company Greubel Forsey created the newest in the world movements with tourbillions. Today, Robert Greubel and Steven Forsey decided to join the tourbillion with the new complication GMT (Greenwich Mean Time) – a second time zone function. Practical and sophisticated function is highly regarded by experts and very effective when you travel.
True to his philosophy and constant striving for excellence and innovation, Greubel Forsey went far beyond the usual display of the second time zone. The function is characterized by a wonderful three-dimensional GMT temporary incarnation: a rotating globe, offering an accurate representation of the time anywhere in the world.
Located at around 8:00, the "flying" globe is mounted on one end of the axis of rotation - the South Pole, which allows reaching hard-to-view surfaces, which are made of durable titanium.
While the earth makes one complete rotation 24 hours counterclockwise, which is the natural direction of rotation of the Earth, the position of the continents can be placed on a 24-hour display day / night set at the equatorial chapter ring.
Nighttime hemisphere - from 18:00 to 6:00 - indexed for blackening half of the ring, frames the globe, while the daytime hemisphere - from 6:00 to 18:00 - indexed for white half. Thus, if in England, at noon, then the user will record the beginning of the afternoon in Geneva or Rome.
Following the intuitive interpretation, Globe is added by a mark of 10 hours with 12-hour second time zone display. Cascade clockwork around the dial is the main indexing device, which consists of minute-hour display in the position of 1:00, display small seconds hand at 2:00 position and power reserve indicator at 3 o'clock position. The mechanism of the model is complicated GMT 25 ° Tourbillon 24 Secondes cage at position 5 hours, which is considered one of the unique inventions of the company.
The disc is marked by the names of GMT 24 cities, each of which represents a time zone.
From a technical point of view, the mechanism of the model in terms of complexity is in no way inferior to dial. In creating it used a full range of traditional techniques of decoration - corning, chamfering, grinding, lapping, polishing and glaze coating - perfect demonstration of know-how in the pursuit of perfection. The mechanism itself consists of 436 components, 87 of which are used in cage weighing 0.36 grams of the tourbillion. Two coaxial barrels connected in series, provide a 72-hour power reserve and carrying frequency of 21 600 pc / h. The dial in 18 carat gold and the entire mechanism are enclosed into the case in white gold with a diameter 43.50 mm and 16.14 mm in height. Convex sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating serves as the protection of the dial, transparent case back and lateral window.
A black alligator strap with folding buckle in white gold completes a spectacular exit of the watch GMT.
