Greubel Forsey Tourbillion 24 Secondes Architecture creates a modern aesthetic while keeping the brand's signature elements. Highlights include the tourbillon at 6 o’clock, which has an impressive curved bridge that appears to be connected only to itself.
The prosaic description above does nothing for the watch, which you might deduce from the pictures. A watch like this one transcends the elevator pitch for complications, offering a fiercely independent and visceral sense of time. This is apparent at just a glance. What you cannot tell is the effect of the Tourbillon Architecture in person. In watch collecting circles, this is what is known as a conversation starter.
To get into the nuts and bolts of this watch, it is not so much key technical details such as the amplitude that matter here but the form that timekeeping takes. This is about three-dimensional architecture, not engineering. For example, the tourbillon at 6 o’clock has a very impressively curved bridge that appears to be connected only to itself. The effect is quite beguiling, while the sheer mass and shape of the bridge is fascinating.
