Greubel Forsey: GMT Earth

Greubel Forsey are once again pushing the envelope and venturing into uncharted territories. The GMT Earth provides an amazing 360° view of our planet all the way from the North to the South Pole. This technical feat was achieved by an original movement architecture in relation to the case shape and dimensions.

The globe is not the only three-dimensional element in this timepiece, it’s a characteristic that features at every level. The three-dimensionality first appears at the highest point of the dial, with the hour, minute and small seconds indications. Then the gaze glides gently across the GMT indication with its triangularred hand, followed by the 72 hours power reserve indication displayed by a long, slender hand. Finally, our eyes come to rest on the lowest part of the dial, which shows the globe alongside the Tourbillon 24 Secondes, Greubel Forsey’s 3rd pivotal Invention.

The GMT Earth enables a clear view of three time zones simultaneously to within a quarter of an hour. Furthermore, on the movement side of the timepiece, 24 time zones are displayed with the summer and winter times to complement the universal time indicated by the terrestrial globe.

The proportions of the 45,5 mm case in white gold were constructed to accommodate the high-domed sapphire crystal bezel and the special artistry on the caseband. The characteristic lateral plates bearing engraved inscriptions that encapsulate the key values of Greubel Forsey decorate the case body.
