Tourbillon 24 Secondes Vision in Red Gold - “A red gold showcase for the 2015 Aiguille d’Or”
On 29th October 2015, the Jury of the Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Genève awarded the Grand Prix of the “Aiguille d’Or” to the Vision of Greubel Forsey.
This is the second time that this most prestigious prize has been awarded to a Greubel Forsey creation, following on from the Double Tourbillon 30° Édition Historique in 2010.
Delighted by this latest accolade, this year we are presenting an all-new version of the Tourbillon 24 Secondes Vision, which stands out by virtue of its sobriety and simplicity of appearance.
The white gold case has made way for red gold, while the dial has adopted an anthracite hue – a striking contrast which creates an air of assured elegance. The case keeps its slender proportions, while in order to house and display the Tourbillon 24 Secondes, a sapphire dome has been carved out on the timepiece’s display back, which forms a subtle vertical asymmetry.
This timepiece is the absolute essence of refinement with its enamelled indications on the solid gold dial, the hand-finished hands, or the lower tourbillon bridge, whose “barrelled and polished” surface requires extremely rare expertise. Each bridge is discreetly signed by the Movement Finisher who completed it.
By simply turning the timepiece over, the extent of its subtle originality is revealed – it presents two distinct faces. On the front, the lines exude an almost neoclassical purity. Meanwhile the movement side plunges us into a world of extreme-precision mechanics.
