Introducing the Greubel Forsey GMT Sport “Sincere Fine Watches Special Edition”
The Low-Down
The signature feature of the Greubel Forsey GMT Sport that was released in 2019 is the Tourbillon 24 Secondes, an invention of the company that posits a fast-spinning tourbillon at a 25-degree tilt. Completing one rotation in 24 seconds as opposed to the conventional 60 seconds affords added stability, so that the tourbillon is less perturbed by life’s mad jungle of disruptive forces. Combined with what Greubel Forsey has found to be the optimum tilt to offset gravitational forces with consideration to movement height, the Tourbillon 24 Secondes punches above its weight class in a single-tourbillon system.
Then Greubel Forsey went on to build a most impressive watch around this innovation: a sumptuous 3D construct that brims with depth and detail. The elliptical case is not 2D as a rubber band lying flat on a desk; rather, it wraps around one’s wrist in a sweep that is paralleled in the curve of the sapphire crystal, suspension bridges on the dial as well as the open-worked hands.
IMHO
The GMT Sport is robust like a cruiserweight boxer – it has measured bulk without an ounce of excess, featuring a high performance single-tourbillon, very useful complications that are most intuitively read, and the very best of high watchmaking in a light titanium case that is water resistant to 100 meters. With the Sincere Edition, one gets this awesome watch in a summery orange that stands out from the rest of Greubel Forsey’s fabulous collection.
