New: Greubel Forsey 24-Second Tourbillon Architecture
Greubel Forsey continues to reinvent itself with a new interpretation of its third invention - the 24-second tourbillon Wholesale replica watches with a new movement and a new case. Here is information about the new Tourbillon 24-second architecture.
The new model is called Tourbillon 24 Seconds Architecture. An interesting name. I coined the term "Watchscapes" back in 2010 when I was inspired by the architecture of a Greubel Forsey movement that, when zoomed in with a camera's high-power lens, looks like a watchscape — — hence the name "Watchscapes". Maybe Greubel Forsey reiterated that idea by naming their latest watch "Architecture", which was a nice surprise indeed.
New tourbillon 24-second structure.
The GF Tourbillon 24 Seconds is not a new Review replica watches for Greubel Forsey. But a rethinking of the base movement first appeared in 2009's Invention 3. Tourbillon The mechanism of the 24-second tourbillon is emphasized in the IP3, featuring a large 24-hour subdial occupying one side of the dial, with hours indicated by red triangles and minutes by blue triangles. There is a small seconds subdial at 5 o'clock and a single tourbillon at 8 o'clock, tilted at 25° and spinning at a rapid rate of one revolution every 24 seconds. Offered at 2 points. The four gold dials on the dial are engraved with French messages from Robert Greubel and Stephen Forsey.
The new tourbillon 24-second construction looks nothing like the vintage 9/11 we showed above. In fact, it is a new interpretation of the Invention No3, with very few differences from the original IP3. For example, the motion dimensions are slightly different. The diameter has changed from 36.2mm to 38.7mm, and the height has also changed from 11.51mm to 12.35mm. The number of parts has been reduced from 370 to 354, and even the tourbillon cage is one less than the IP3's 87 parts. The number of barrels has also been increased from 2 to 3, now coaxial and in series, but still making 1 revolution in 3.2 hours. From what we've gathered in our old-new comparison, the basic idea of the two movements is the same, but these are two entirely new movements.

The movement is now a more traditional time display, with curved bridges/cocks holding the coaxial barrel and tourbillon - an absolute state of the art done by Greubel Forsey, of course typical representative.
The case is also brand new. Though it takes design cues first suggested in the absolutely stunning GMT Grand Sport released in 2019 (click the link for our full coverage). But the new 24-second tourbillon architecture pushes the design even further. It now has normal-looking curved lugs and is attached to a rubber strap.
Maybe get the cat out of the bag, but we're more than happy to say it's an impressive replica watches online.
Greubel Forsey "Architecture": a city on your wrist
The Tourbillon 24 Secondes Architecture is unlike any timepiece Greubel Forsey has ever created. Its case is utterly atypical, its structure purposeful, its parts sculptural, their mechanical interplay dynamics and movement – simply spectacular! This new Greubel Forsey movement features a new convex frustum of cone case shape, representing a complete departure from traditional movement construction and aesthetics, bringing an architectural experience to the wrist.
History is made of continuous progress and sometimes glaring ruptures. Fine watchmaking is no exception, with 250 years of patient achievements and achievements, but also occasional breakthroughs, upheavals or revolutions.
Greubel Forsey pioneered some of these technologies with the 30° double tourbillon, quadruple tourbillon, double balance wheel and QP à Équation mechanical computer, among others. From an aesthetic point of view, its asymmetrical and raised case shapes, or its inclined escapement, open up new avenues for watchmaking design. But never before has Greubel Forsey integrated technology and aesthetics in one of its timepieces to such an extent as the 24-second tourbillon architecture.
unobstructed view
The 24-second architecture of the new tourbillon is not easy to understand. Its components are suspended in space, displaying a harmonious composition of surfaces, shapes and movements. The case first reveals the wonders of the interior through a large opening on the dial side, Greubel Forsey high quality cheap watches values engraved in relief inspired this creation: Architecture, Harmony, Innovation, Technology, Bienfacture, Passion, Science, Exclusivité, Créativité.
While viewed from the dial side, the case appears perfectly round, from other angles it reveals its convex shape, as well as the large synthetic sapphire crystal ring that surrounds the entire perimeter of the strap. Greubel Forsey began integrating horizontal sapphire crystal windows back in 2007, but had never before made the movement visible from above, below and from all angles around the case.
This new case construction allows a view of even the tiniest details of the movement, and also allows light to penetrate almost unhindered. It is the light that shapes the material and reveals the privacy of the building through shadows and reflections. It infiltrates the movement, fully revealing its complexity, and thus in itself an important contribution to the aesthetics of this unique timepiece.
Brand new case structure
In addition to its aesthetic contribution in displaying the movement, the case also provides a very unique experience on the wrist. Its convex profile ensures optimum ergonomics and wrist comfort. Greubel Forsey pushed the limits a step further, designing a case that was not only convex, but whose geometry resembled a truncated cone . In the tourbillon 24 seconds architecture, the diameter around the case back (47.05 mm) is wider than the diameter around the bezel (45 mm), thus combining the best of both worlds: it contains enough volume to fully reveal the The movement architecture, at the same time, gives the impression of being much smaller than it really is.Discount replica watches
Finally, the 50-meter water-resistant titanium case features three-dimensional, variable-geometry lugs, hand-polished with a hand-grained straight grain, and seamlessly joins the rubber strap with embossed text, and features a titanium folding watch buckle.
sport like no other
While the case itself represents a major technical feat, the Greubel Forsey movement remains the star of the show. Immediately standing out from the brushed mainplate, the polished titanium bridges are so spectacular: they seem to emerge out of nowhere, meandering through the movement and finally flush with the sapphire crystal.
At 6 o'clock, the tourbillon 24 seconds rests on a large spherical skeletonized bridge whose base is designed to be hidden. In its form, the tilting escapement works against gravity, while in its function it compensates for it. To resolve the critical position of the oscillator relative to gravity, the 24-second tourbillon uses rapid rotation in addition to its 25° inclination. The combination of these two elements results in excellent timekeeping performance, especially in a stable position.
The barrel bridge at 10 o'clock is similarly engraved, with polished spheres, polished bevels and countersinks. The barrel cover is engraved, lacquered and circular-grained and contains three coaxial series-connected rapid-rotation barrels, one of which is equipped with a sliding spring to avoid excessive tension. The movement's energy provides a 90-hour chronograph power reserve, indicated by a moving red triangle on a conical disc at 3 o'clock. It is also held in place by beautiful polished titanium bridges.Richard Mille RM 47 Tourbillon The Time of the Samurai
In the center we find two large curved, skeletonized and polished steel hands indicating the hours and minutes, mounted on the iconic Greubel Forsey tripod bridge. Time indication is completed at 8 o'clock by a small seconds hand on a side-polished cylinder - mirroring and echoing all other components nearby.
A unique fusion of technology and aesthetics
The 354 parts of the movement are carved and arranged in an asymmetrical yet harmonious way, as if they had arisen from the organic growth process of nature. Each component is suspended in an unexpected three-dimensional plane, yet it is exactly where it should be aesthetically and technically in relation to the other components. The movement is dynamic, urban, yet has room to breathe. The Tourbillon 24 Seconds Architecture is a marvel of contemporary design and a physical embodiment of Greubel Forsey's inventive art.
