The unabashed star of Greubel Forsey’s 2018 SIHH presentations was the GMT Earth, which enables a simultaneous view of three separate time zones and features an enchanting three-dimensional titanium globe showing universal time (both summer and winter) on the back.
“We’ve imagined even more visibility for the GMT’s earth,” Stephen Forsey said referring to Greubel Forsey’s previous GMT model. And right he is!
Greubel Forsey’s other big introduction was the absolutely stunning Différentiel d’Égalité, which features the brand’s fifth invention, a differential that – in a nutshell – ensures constant amplitude of the balance wheel (and therefore more precise timekeeping).
The Différentiel d’Égalité also features first for Greubel Forsey: dead beat seconds.
