Greubel Forsey debuts the new GMT Balancier Convex watch at Geneva Watch Days, emphasizing its technical prowess by incorporating its iconic tilting balance wheel into the design. This new GMT movement is manually wound and consists of more than 400 parts. It replaces all previous GMT models and thanks to its superb decoration and finishing quality, it is not only a technical masterpiece but also an aesthetic treasure.

This is on the wrist of Greubel Forsey CEO Antonio Calce:

With a love for outstanding and avant-garde replica GMT watches such as the GMT Quadruple Tourbillon and the GMT Sport, the pair of watchmakers dedicated their new movement to the “globe” in the center of the dial, Greubel Forsey Describe it as a “globe”. An “open air theatre”. There’s certainly a lot to see beneath the iconic convex sapphire crystal, as this globe beautifully depicts the Earth’s 24-hour constant rotation, just as it would in reality. It consists of three rings indicating two complementary times: hours and minutes of local time and universal time.

The 24 time zones displaying universal time will be set to a black background if the time displayed is nighttime, and a white background during the day. The local time is displayed on two outer rings: one shows the hours on a gray satin-brushed outer ring and the minutes on a thin black outer ring. Each time indication has its own hand with a red triangular tip filled with luminous material. The hands are attached to two additional rings engraved with Atelier’s cherished keyword to indicate GMT. Finally, an off-center display at 10 o’clock indicates the second time zone with a blue-gold hand.

The beating heart of this timepiece is made of titanium and measures an impressive 43.5 mm in diameter, as well as awe-inspiring. Greubel Forsey once again wows with its craftsmanship. The 30° tilted balance wheel appears to be suspended in mid-air and is secured to a polished steel column by a beautiful black polished and barrel-shaped polished steel balance bridge. On the right is a small seconds dial with blue-gold hands, making the whole thing more complete.

The titanium bridge on the case back is hand-polished with a steel brush to give it a matte texture, a first for Greubel Forsey. The delicate surface catches the light and beautifully highlights the globe. high quality replica watches
