Greubel Forsey Tourbillon Cardan

For many years, Greubel Forsey has been working on the development of a new type of tourbillon. Over the past three years, this tourbillon has transitioned from concept to reality and is now unveiled as the 8th Fundamental Invention of the Atelier. To reach a new level of chronometric precision, the Tourbillon Cardan is based on three pillars: a rapid rotating tourbillon, a revolving 30° inclined plane and two constantly tilting rings.

For 20 years, Greubel Forsey has been working from the standpoint that contemporary watchmaking is far from having exhausted all the technical possibilities of fine watchmaking. The Atelier has proven this on seven landmark occasions, developing Fundamental Inventions that rethink the basics of movement regulation and other major complications. This titanic undertaking, focused on chronometric performance, continues today with an 8th Invention: the Tourbillon Cardan.
