Greubel Forsey Double Balancier Sapphire
In 2009, following extensive research on multiple regulators in Greubel Forsey's EWT laboratory - Experimental replica watches for sale Technology - the inclined double balance wheel was presented as a prototype at Baselworld. The two tilting adjustment mechanisms - then overlapping each other - now occupy distinctly different three-dimensional spaces. First released in white gold at SIHH 2016, then in rose gold at SIHH 2018, the stunning Greubel Forsey Double Balancier now features a most complex case material.
The Greubel Forsey Double Balancier Sapphire Sapphire Limited Edition is the world's first Double Balancier à Différentiel Constant and the only watch with a sapphire case. This new mechanism redefines the limits of timekeeping, with two inclined balance wheels in a stable position and a constant spherical differential providing a more stable amplitude.
Unlike its predecessor, the Greubel Forsey Double Balancier Sapphire best replica watches features a completely transparent case structure that leaves nothing to the imagination. Its sapphire crystal case measures 43mm in diameter and 13.38mm thick, allowing the horological craftsmanship protected within to be seen at a glance. The multilayered construction of its movement and dial gives its interior the appearance of a miniature city, built between scales tipped with capricious intentions. The movement architecture has considered every element to create a symphony of visual ecstasy.
With more than two-thirds of the dial open to the center of its movement, the Greubel Forsey Double Balancier Sapphire looks simply outstanding. It is designed so that one can endlessly contemplate its movement. The sapphire case and winding crown are also made of sapphire, highlighting the perfectly polished blue dial and white hour markers.
The multi-layered blue dial features a 72-hour power reserve indicator between 1 and 3 o'clock, as well as Greubel Forsey's usual traditional skeletonized hands with luminescent material on their tips. An elegant minute track and 'oven-fired' enamel hour markers – émail grand feu camplevé – complete the classic yet avant-garde look of the new Greubel Forsey Double Balance Sapphire. For those who like to keep track of seconds, this extraordinary timepiece features a seconds indicator at 4 o'clock.swiss replica watches
Finally, between 6 and 7 o'clock, you can admire the 4-minute constant differential indicator with blue hands and markings 0, 1, 2, 3.
The double balance wheels inclined at 30 degrees are fascinating. The balance wheels swing rhythmically - each in a different direction - as if they are dancing to a horological symphony without a finale.
The bridges on the balance wheel are perfectly polished black, absorbing all light at right angles without any reflections.
Turn the watch around to reveal a nickel-silver gray PVD mainplate protecting the patented, hand-wound in-house movement GF04, which powers the Greubel Forsey Double Balancier Sapphire. Compared with its predecessor, the bottom plate of the movement is hollowed out, so that the back of the balance wheel and the differential can be seen in full view.replica luxury watches
The movement consists of 285 parts, 50 jewels set in olive-domed gold chatons and 30 parts for the constant differential. The movement offers a power reserve of 72 hours when fully wound, while beating at 21,600 vph. All bridges are nickel silver plated with straight grained sides and gray PVD treatment.
The Greubel Forsey Double Balancier Sapphire features a sapphire case that gives this horological masterpiece a relatively sporty look and is fitted with a blue rubber strap and the traditional deployant double folding clasp used by Greubel Forsey. The rubber strap is very soft but strong at the same time, and the entire buckle is mirror polished.
On the wrist, the watch wears slightly larger than it really is, more like a 45mm timepiece, thanks to its thick case profile. In terms of looks and wrist presence, the Greubel Forsey Double Balancier Sapphire is simply outstanding, the only watch that can outperform any other sapphire case watch, no matter what brand we're talking about. It's an incredible horological feat, and while its horological complications exude classicism, the overall look of the watch is sporty and contemporary thanks to its sapphire crystal case paired with a blue rubber strap.replica Grand Seiko Sport
