GOLF ASIA 95GREUBEL FORSEY
Différentiel d’Égalité
In a first for Robert Greubel and Stephen Forsey, this
timepiece features dead-beat seconds. This makes it easier to
read and to set the time precisely. The timepiece is equipped
with a balance wheel stop and seconds reset activated
by pulling the crown. The heart and the hammer of this
mechanism are visible on the movement side. The 30° angle
of the balance wheel and escapement minimises the effects
of gravity and ensures efficient movement performance in
stable positions. This Greubel Forsey technique guarantees
excellent mean/averaged balance wheel performance, which
is the mark of heightened timekeeping accuracy. All of these
components work together magnificently to help improve
performance and enables steady distribution of power from
the mainspring barrel to the regulating organ, which maintains
a constant balance amplitude during the 60 hours of the
power reserve. This white gold edition is limited to 33 pieces.GREUBEL FORSEY
Double Balancier
With this latest version, Robert Greubel and Stephen Forsey sought to play up the Double Balancier’s
theatrical side. The black gold dial with the minute circle, numerals, hour markers and power reserve in
champlevé grand feu (oven-fired) enamel functions like a curtain rising to reveal the phenomenal duet of
the two balance wheels connected by the constant differential. A rotation indicator fitted to the differential
executes one complete turn in 4 minutes. The heart of the mechanism and three-dimensional architecture
reveals a true horological spectacle and each of the hand-decorated elements plays its own role in this
mechanical opera. Aesthetically, this timepiece is both understated and complex. A wide aperture catches
the eye with powerful three-dimensional aspects, extensively revealing the heart of the mechanism. A
miniature futuristic city constructed between the balances whose inclination is decidedly dizzying. The 5N
red gold hands and matching case amplify the noble aura of this timepiece.
HERMÈS
Carré H
In 2010, Hermès introduced
the Carré H, a square
timepiece created by Marc
Berthier, with a modern
aesthetic, designed for
instant legibility. It now
returns in a new style, Marc
Berthier has enlarged the
square by a few millimetres
and opted for light effects,
playing across the steel
case with its polished and
microbead-blasted finishes,
on the dial with its right-angled
guilloché work, and on the
facetted hands and numerals.
This perfectly balanced use of
light harmoniously accentuates
the clarity of the design, the
softened edges of the square, the
curved profile of the case, and the cylindrical
crystal. Finally, the exclusive font of the
numerals, making use of the zero, contributes
to the new aesthetic equilibrium of this watch.
