Greubel Forsey Concludes the Tourbillon 24 Secondes with Final Limited Edition

First presented in 2022, the Tourbillon 24 Secondes Architecture introduced a radically open approach to movement construction, where architecture itself became the dial.

Composed of 354 components, the movement is fully exposed, turning structure into visual identity. From the outset, Greubel Forsey announced that this calibre would be produced for only five years and limited to 66 timepieces. The watchmaker now concludes this chapter with a final edition of 11 timepieces.

The 47.05mm titanium case integrates sapphire crystal around the full periphery, allowing the movement to remain visible not only from the dial side, but also from above, below and every lateral angle. Around the dial opening, the engraved words Architecture, Harmonie, Innovation, Technique, Bienfacture, Passion, Science, Exclusivité express the watchmakers’ standard for this timepiece. At its heart lies the inclined 24-second tourbillon, positioned at 6 o’clock and rotating once every 24 seconds at a 25-degree incline. Hours and minutes are indicated by large openworked hands mounted on a tripod bridge, accompanied by a small seconds display and a sector power-reserve indication. The movement itself is not decorated by design—it is the design.

This edition introduces a discreet evolution; the contrasts between surfaces are slightly reinforced, enhancing legibility and depth without altering the original intent.
