The History of
... Greubel Forsey... is a watchmaking company specializing in
ultra high-end timepieces. It was launched in 2004 by Robert
Greubel and Stephen Forsey and is based in La Chaux-de-Fonds,
Switzerland. Greubel Forsey specialize in inventing timepieces
with multiple tourbillons and inclined balance wheels with the
aim of improving timekeeping precision. Their approach was
validated in 2011 when a Greubel Forsey Double Tourbillon
Technique won the 2011 International Chronometry Competition
held by the Le Locle Museum of Horology. In 2004 at BaselWorld with the introduction of their Double Tourbillon 30° (DT30). Both men had been working together since 1992 at Renaud & Papi, where they developed complicated watch movements. The Richemont
group acquired a 20% stake in Greubel Forsey’s share capital in 2006.
In 2006 the company collaborated with American jewellery's Harry Winston to make the Opus 6 model. The company has invented and presented a number of tourbillon-based watches including: the Double Tourbillon 30° (DT30°), the Quadruple Tourbillon à Différentiel, the Tourbillon 24 Secondes Incliné and the GMT. At the 2012 SIHH Greubel Forsey presented their first non-tourbillon model, the Double Balancier 35°...

Quadruple Tourbillon GF03 OR5 CN crafted polished finish 18k Red Gold
Asymmetrical shaped, lateral window with shaped sapphire crystal 3
dimensional case… The Quadruple Tourbillon à Différentiel is a blend of
art and technical innovation which encapsulates the very soul of its
the two creators. Transparent sapphire bridges were specifically chosen
to allow unimpaired visual access to the perfectly choreographed aerial
ballet of the four Tourbillons. They’ve engineered the four
Tourbillons together in a contemporary design, in which elegance and
harmony , the movement, an asymmetrically-shaped case was chosen. Form
follows function: This allows for an extreme dial design. “The
asymmetrical form is an aesthetic tribute to the synchronicity of the
four Tourbillons. To complement homogeneous ensemble, the displays of
the small second and the power reserve dials are semi-circular. With
its sophisticated coalescence of technical Invention and artistic
design, the Quadruple Tourbillon à Différentiel encapsulates the best
in fine watchmaking. Wearing a Quadruple Tourbillon à Différentiel is
to enter the universe of Robert Greubel and Stephen Forsey, and to
share, appreciate and be empathetic to the essential values emanating
from their Invention”....

...“The
culmination of five years of research and development has produced a
mechanism of Four separate Tourbillons that are connected at the heart
t of two autonomous regulating organs. Each of the two regulating
organs is composed of a balance wheel oscillator placed in a cage of a
first Tourbillon rotating once a minute and inclined at 30 degrees. This
mechanism rotates within the cage of a second Tourbillon rotating ever
y four minutes. The two oscillators, independently regulated inside
the four Tourbillons, are coupled by a spherical differential which
transmits their combined precision to the time display. Two barrels
connected in series supply power through the spherical differential to
the Tourbillons”...

...“At
the heart of the Quadruple Tourbillon à Différentiel, each of the four
Tourbillons make their own distinct contribution towards achieving an
exceptional level of accuracy. This is due to the asynchronicity of the
Tourbillons’ locations relative to each other. This ensures that it is
practically impossible for the balance wheels to be in an unfavourable
position, no matter which angle the watch is in. By transmitting the
averaged results of two oscillators, the spherical differential doubles
the chronometric performance of the two regulating organs, and also
minimizes the smallest variations in the performance of the
oscillators. Ample energy is assured by two large, fastrotating barrels
which guarantee a power reserve of 50 hours of”...
