Greubel Forsey GMT watch with innovative Rotating 3d globe
Greubel Forsey have been known for their Tourbillon watches and have just announced a new timepiece that contains a very cool 3d titanium globe that will accurately rotate as the earth turns. This beautiful industrial styled watch is not only cool, it is accurate and may even get some ooo’s and ahhhh’s from your friends and collegues.
“A tourbillon aims to counter the effects of gravity by mounting the escapement and balance wheel in a rotating cage, to negate the effect of gravity when the timepiece (and thus the escapement) is stuck in a certain position.”

The Greubel Foresey GMT watch features a 12-hour second time zone dial, located at the 10 o’clock position. At the 2/3 o’clock position is the main hour-minute dial and also a power reserve indicator just below. Located at the 5 o’clock position is the patented toubillon cage which Greubel Foresey has been known for.
At the 7 o’clock position is the Rotating globe. This innovative representation of time will be sure to wow even the most gadget conscious individuals. In the upper left is the GMT Dual-Function Pusher, which is a quick-set button to adjust the 12-hour second time zone and to indicate 24-hour world time.
