Greubel Forsey GMT Quadruple Tourbillon
The replica Greubel Forsey GMT Quadruple Tourbillon watch features a new dial design, a titanium case, and a modern blue hue. However, although this latest example of haute horlogerie is brand new, it upholds the Maison’s reputation for excellence in finishing and traditional craftsmanship.
Greubel Forsey – Introduction
La Chaux-de-Fonds, a city often called the center of Swiss watchmaking, is located in the Jura Mountains, at an altitude of over 1,000 meters above sea level. The Greubel Forsey manufacturing plant is located outside the city, perched on a high pasture. Its status is like a metaphor, reflecting its lofty status in the field of haute horlogerie.
Contrary to mass production, Greubel Forsey only produces a limited number of watches each year, and they are all manufactured to the strictest standards. At the heart of the corporate paradigm are two main characteristics. First, the brand often handcrafts watch components using traditional, labor-intensive techniques. Second, people will be eager to innovate as long as it leads to better results for the company's customers.
The eponymous duo Robert Greubel and Stephen Forsey have invented many ingenious mechanisms over the years. One such mechanism is the "Quadruple Tourbillon", which consists of four tourbillons connected to a spherical differential, averaging the chronometric rates of the four tourbillon cages. The benefit of this arrangement is that it enhances the timing performance of all four regulating mechanisms. replica mens watches
Greubel Forsey GMT Quadruple Tourbillon – New Case
Today, Maison launches the Greubel Forsey GMT Quadruple Tourbillon in titanium, which, as the name suggests, features the company’s “second invention” – a quadruple tourbillon. This isn’t the first time the Swiss brand has made a GMT Quadruple Tourbillon watch, in fact it has made several variations in the past. However, there are many differences with this new model.
The dial of this new model features a new layout and color scheme, giving the watch a fresher and more cohesive look. The feature list remains unchanged. These include hours and minutes, small seconds, 72-hour power reserve, second time zone GMT, 24 time zones world time, rotating titanium globe with world time, daylight saving time city and day/night indicator.
Surprisingly, although the Greubel Forsey GMT Quadruple Tourbillon looks cleaner than its predecessor, the case size has increased, now measuring 46.5 mm in diameter (previously 43.5 mm). However, while the watch has increased in size, it should weigh significantly less since the case is made of titanium.
Greubel Forsey GMT Quadruple Tourbillon – The Challenge of Polishing Titanium
Greubel Forsey doesn't specify the grade of titanium used, but based on experience I suspect it will be Grade 5 which is widely considered to be the best. The problem with using titanium is that it is very difficult and time-consuming to machine. Titanium watch cases are much more expensive to process than steel or precious metals. Additionally, polishing titanium to a sparkling, flawless finish can be extremely challenging. replica watches swiss
At this point, Greubel Forsey seems to be just making his life a little heavier. However, when a brand overcomes these challenges, titanium brings some useful benefits. Grade 5 titanium is lightweight, strong, corrosion-resistant, anti-magnetic and hypoallergenic, all properties useful in the watchmaking industry.
Based on initial impressions, the Greubel Forsey GMT Quadruple Tourbillon looks modern, slightly more understated than its predecessor, but still very gorgeous. Oh, and finally? Do you really need to ask?

Titanium and blue, a new chapter in the GMT quadruple tourbillon
The GMT Quadruple Tourbillon has only one chapter. Today, Greubel Forsey writes its second article and launches an 11-piece version of this breakthrough titanium watch. With new materials, new colors and new finishes, this revolutionary, modern limited edition pushes the GMT Quadruple Tourbillon into unknown horizons and resolutely marks the dawn of a new chapter.
A breakthrough in watch technology
The GMT Quadruple Tourbillon is radical in every way. First, look at its structure. The quadruple tourbillon is Greubel Forsey's second basic invention, and its mission is to eliminate positional errors due to gravity on average in all situations, especially in stable luxury replica Watches positions.
To achieve this, the original tourbillon was raised to its full potential: tilted 30°, twice, then four times. The result is two synchronized double tourbillon 30° mechanisms, in which the first cage is tilted by 30° and rotates once a minute, nested within a second horizontal cage that completes a full rotation in four minutes. A spherical differential transmits the average timing rate of the four tourbillon cages, improving the overall timing performance of all regulating mechanisms.
A new experience on your wrist
The design of the GMT Quadruple Tourbillon is radical. With this exclusive limited edition watch in titanium with striking blue accents, Greubel Forsey offers an unexpected alternative to the precious metals traditionally favored by high-end watchmaking. Titanium has several qualities: it is stronger and lighter than steel, while also being extremely resistant to corrosion and magnetic fields.
The new titanium case is more than a third lighter, giving it a new, modern and dynamic feel on the wrist, which inspired the choice of new rubber straps to highlight this new contemporary identity. Jacob & Co Astronomia replica
Superior hand finishing
The toughness of titanium is responsible for the 46.5 mm case of the GMT Quadruple Tourbillon, which poses significant machining and hand-finishing challenges for the components made from it, such as the GMT pushers, deployant buckle or crown. In addition, new hand-finished details have been created specifically for this timepiece. The circular grained hour ring with polished bevels and the 72-hour chronograph power reserve indicator are available in bright blue for the first time. The motherboard is now matte with polished chamfers, countersunk holes, and ruled flanks, finished in a gray finish.
between earth and ocean
The earth, which is close to eight o'clock, is shining with new light under the blue uniform. The rotating globe, an original creation by Greubel Forsey ten years ago (2011), displays several different time zones simultaneously: on one side of the dial, there is a 24-hour ring surrounding the earth for day/night indication and The back of the case displays the time zones of each of the 24 major cities, distinguishing between cities that use daylight saving time (light background) and cities that do not use daylight saving time (dark background).
