Featured: This Greubel Forsey high quality replica watches is the craziest GMT you've ever seen
Seeing a Greubel Forsey watch for the first time can be a frightening and slightly confusing experience, a bit like an ancient explorer stumbling upon a large animal they'd never encountered before in the wild – say, an elephant.
Can I eat it? Will it eat me? Why does it have a penis on its face?
For a complete watch newbie, the Greubel Forsey watch might evoke a similar reaction.
With its asymmetrical 3D dial, raised case and multiple tourbillons (up to four on a single watch), it's arguably the most esoteric of the ultra-high-end brands, whose incredible watches have been described as “horological thought experiments”.
While this GMT model has all the hallmarks of a Greubel Forsey watch (they would never make a standard Rolex-style GMT with a 24-hour bezel), it doesn't require the technical acumen and patience of a saint from Abraham-Louis Breguet to use.
That, my friends, is what happens when an eccentric ultra-haute horology brand builds a GMT for its billionaire client. replica swiss watches
A familiar snippet
Let's take a deep breath and cast our gaze over this Greubel Forsey dial, which is typically large and varied, with most of it taken up by the largest subdial, which displays the hours and minutes of local time in standard fashion. There's also a smaller subdial for the small seconds, below which is the power reserve indicator, and the tourbillon dances at 5 o'clock.
On the left side of the dial is the visual highlight, a spinning 3D globe (more on that later) with your secondary time zone above it. No prizes for being able to figure this one out. It's a simple 12-hour subdial with just a red triangle hand indicating the hour in another country or region. For the minutes, you simply refer to the main dial's minute hand.
The Globe
As if you needed a reminder that this is a world timer, the dial also features a ball-bearing-sized globe made of titanium that spins in real time. Previously, Greubel Forsey has made watches that included purely aesthetic micro-sculptures, so you could be forgiven for thinking they included it for novelty. Jacob & Co. replica watches
But in reality, this is a functional device that lets you see at a glance which part of the Earth is in night and which is in daylight. The part of the Earth that is in daylight is shown by the white background half of the surrounding 24-hour ring (a bit like a two-tone GMT bezel). This is a handy feature for frequent round-the-world travelers, although the Earth is seen from a rather unfamiliar angle above the North Pole, so it takes a few seconds to get your bearings and figure out which continent is which.
Reversing
Flip this watch over and through the exhibition caseback you'll find a slightly more traditional world time disc with 24 time zones, from Astana to Auckland. best replica watches
This disc rotates once a day, even accounting for countries like the UK that have bothered to turn their clocks back for Daylight Saving Time (DST). These places are shown in white, and you can read their correct local time by matching the location with the inner (rather than outer) 24-hour track. At other times of the year, just use the outer track.
All functions are set via the crown and the GMT pusher at 10 o'clock, which takes a little practice but becomes second nature once you know how.
The rest
Of course, this is a Greubel Forsey watch, and it would be unfair not to mention other elements that make it worth more than $500,000, such as the all-platinum 43.5mm case and the mainplate made of German silver and coated with rose gold PVD. Other versions of the case are also available in rose gold and white gold. replica Greubel Forsey GMT watches
The tilted 24-second tourbillon adds to the precision of the manually-wound Caliber GF05 movement, and the power reserve is a respectable 72 hours considering all the functions of the watch.
The Greubel Forsey also has world-class hand-finishing, including mirror polishing, graining of the plate and the engraving of the "sun" pattern on the gold wheel (also visible through the exhibition caseback), which drives the globe. For all its technical innovations, the brand is renowned for championing traditional watchmaking techniques and is dedicated to preserving them for future generations of watchmakers through its La Garde Temps Naissance d'une Montre project.
In the end, of course, you will feel the great satisfaction of being one of only 198 people in the world who owns one of these magnificent beasts, so seeing them in the wild is a rare and precious thing. replica Patek Philippe Watches |
