Greubel Forsey
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Greubel Forsey is a luxury independent watchmaker specialized in the development of innovative watch movements, including new kinds of tourbillon. It is a partnership formed in 2004 by Robert Greubel and Stephen Forsey who both used to work for Audemars Piguet (Renaud & Papi) SA in the early 1990s.
Their Double Tourbillon 30° is an ultra-exclusive wristwatch that features an inclined tourbillon that compensates for the effects of gravity on the watch movement, thus making it more accurate than a mechanical watch without a tourbillon.
Based in La Chaux-de-Fonds in Switzerland, Greubel Forsey is housed in an historical building that is supposed to reflect the commingling of tradition and the contemporary of the watchmaking done there.
