GREUBEL FORSEY "ARCHITECTURE":
A CITY ON THE WRIST

Tourbillon 24 Secondes Architecture 24秒陀飞轮腕表不同于高珀富斯以往打造的任何时计。 其表壳完全采用非常规造型，结构经特意设计，机械组件宛若雕塑，环环相扣，彼此作用，美轮美奂，令人叹为观止！ 全新高珀富斯机芯搭配全新凸圆锥体形表壳，完全颠覆了传统机芯的结构和美学，将立体美感呈现于腕间。

历史是一个不断进步，但偶尔出现明显断层的过程。 高级制表史亦不例外，250年来众多制表师用心缔造非凡成就，在此期间亦不时出现破坏，动荡或革命。

高珀富斯推出了一些创新项目，比如30°双体陀飞轮，四体陀飞轮，双重摆轮，以及配备机械计算器的时间等式万年历等等，不胜枚举。 从美学角度来看，高珀富斯不对称凸面表壳和倾斜擒纵系统开辟了制表设计的新思路。 在Tourbillon 24 seconds Architecture 24秒陀飞轮腕表中，高珀富斯开创性地将技术和美学巧妙融为一体。

AN UNOBSTRUCTED VIEW
The new Tourbillon 24 Secondes Architecture is not easy to apprehend. Its components are suspended in space, revealing a harmonious composition of surfaces, shapes and movements. The case showcases the spectacle within firstly through the large opening on the dial side, encompassed by relief-engraved Greubel Forsey values that inspired this creation: Architecture, Harmonie, Innovation, Technique, Bienfacture, Passion, Science, Exclusivité, Créativité.

While the case looks perfectly round when observed from the dial side, it reveals its convex shape from other angles, along with its large synthetic sapphire crystal ring which envelopes the entire periphery of the caseband. Greubel Forsey has been integrating lateral sapphire crystal apertures since as early as 2007, but has never before rendered a movement visible from above, below, and from every angle around the caseband.

This new case construction enables an exhaustive look at even the smallest detail of the movement, but also allows light to penetrate almost unhindered. It is light which sculpts matter and reveals architecture in its intimacy, through a play of shadows and reflections. It bathes the movement to reveal it fully and in all of its complexity and is thus itself a vital contribution to the aesthetic of this exclusive timepiece.

A COMPLETELY NEW CASE CONSTRUCTION
In addition to its aesthetic contribution in show- casing the movement, the case offers a very unique experience on the wrist. Its convex shape profile ensures optimal ergonomics and wrist comfort. Pushing the envelope further still, Greubel Forsey has now conceived a case which is not only convex but also resembles a conical frustrum in its geometry. In the Tourbillon 24 Secondes Architecture, the diameter around the caseback (47.05 mm) is wider than it is around the bezel (45 mm), thus combining the best of two worlds: It contains enough volume to fully showcase the movement architecture within, while at the same time giving the impression of being significantly smaller than it actually is.

Finally, the 50 m water-resistant titanium case features three-dimensional, variable geometry lugs, hand-polished with handfinished straight graining, flowing seamlessly into a rubber strap with embossed text and finished with a titanium folding clasp.

A MOVEMENT UNLIKE ANY OTHER
While the case represents a significant technical feat in its own right, the Greubel Forsey movement remains the star of the show. The polished titanium bridges immediately stand out from the frosted finish of the mainplate, and spectacularly so: Emerging seemingly out of nowhere, they wind their way through the movement to finally impose themselves flush with the sapphire crystal.

At 6 o'clock, the Tourbillon 24 Secondes is moored from a large spherical and openworked bridge, whose base remains hidden by design. In its form, the inclined escapement defies gravity, while in its function, it compensates for it. To solve the problem of critical positions of the oscillator in relation to gravity, the Tourbillon 24 Secondes uses a fast rotation speed in addition to a 25° inclination. These two elements combined contribute to excellent chronometric performance, especially in stable positions.

The barrel bridge at 10 o’clock is sculpted similarly, with polished spherical surfaces, along with polished beveling and countersinks. The barrel cover is engraved, lacquered and circular-grained and contains three coaxial series-coupled fast-rotating barrels, one of which is equipped with a slipping spring to avoid excess tension. The caliber's energy source provides 90 hours chronometric power reserve, indicated by a moving red triangle over a conical disk at 3 o’clock. It too is held in place by a beautiful polished titanium bridge.

In the center, we find two large curved, open- worked and polished steel hands, indicating the hours and minutes, mounted on a signature Greubel Forsey tripod bridge. The time indication is completed at 8 o'clock by a small second on a cylinder with polished flanks – mirroring and echoing every other component in its vicinity.

AN EXCLUSIVE FUSION OF TECHNICITY AND AESTHETICS

The 354 parts of the movement are sculpted and arranged asymmetrically yet harmoniously, almost as if they had issued from an organic growth process found in the natural world. Each component is suspended in an unexpected three-dimensional plane, yet it is exactly where it should be aesthetically, technically in relation to every other component. The movement is vi- brant and urban, yet it has space to breathe. The Tourbillon 24 Secondes Architecture is a marvel of contemporary design and a physical manifestation of the Greubel Forsey Art of Invention.

The Tourbillon 24 Secondes Architecture will be limited to only 11 pieces in 2022, then to 18 pieces a year between 2023 and 2025 for a total of 65 exclusive timepieces overall.
