A Closer Look at Greubel Forsey's 10th Fundamental Invention

2024-11-22 // LePodium.NET
Discover Greubel Forsey's latest timepiece, a smaller and more innovative approach to watchmaking, combining a flying tourbillon with a nano foudroyante mechanism.

Greubel Forsey has released their 10th Fundamental Invention, a compact timepiece measuring 37.9mm in diameter. It is their first chronograph and features a flying tourbillon, making it a unique addition to their collection. While the press release focuses on the energy-saving capabilities of the watch, what stands out the most is the smaller case size, which is unusual for Greubel Forsey. This makes the watch more accessible to collectors who prefer a moderate size.

The 10th Fundamental Invention, called the Nano Foudroyante EWT, is a technological breakthrough in the world of mechanical watchmaking. It incorporates nanomechanics to precisely control energy consumption, resulting in a reduction in both components and energy consumption. The watch is housed in a white gold and tantalum case and will be limited to 11 pieces.

The most notable feature of the watch is its nano foudroyante mechanism, which displays fractions of a second. Unlike traditional foudroyante hands, this mechanism is not connected to the chronograph and cannot be stopped. Instead, it is connected to the escapement and rotates alongside the flying tourbillon. The mechanism is driven by Exceptional Wheel Technology (EWT), allowing for a reduction in size and energy consumption.

Despite its smaller size, the watch maintains Greubel Forsey's reputation for impeccable finishing. The movement is hand-wound and features a flyback chronograph with a vertical clutch. The dial is multi-level and made of rhodium-plated gold, with engraved hour markers and minute tracks. The tourbillon is visible through a dial opening, adding to the watch's overall aesthetic appeal.

The case is crafted from white gold and tantalum, giving it a luxurious and distinctive look. It comes with a hand-sewn strap made of non-animal material and a folding clasp engraved with the brand's monogram. With only 11 pieces available, this watch is a true collector's item.

Overall, Greubel Forsey's 10th Fundamental Invention is a testament to their commitment to innovation and pushing the boundaries of watchmaking. The combination of a smaller case size, a flying tourbillon, and a nano foudroyante mechanism makes this watch a unique and exciting addition to their collection.
