How do you view world time zones? GF GMT Earth directly makes an earth!
The general GMT and world time zone watches are nothing more than an extra disk or an extra second pointer, while the GREUBEL FORSEY GMT directly makes a metal earth! Paired with the brand's 24-second tourbillon, it shows the level of the master watchmaker. As for this already very complex watch, in 2018 GF launched GMT Earth: a new GMT world time watch. The dial is hollowed out, and the redesigned movement and case make the three-dimensional metal earth shape more prominent.
At the 5 o'clock position on the dial is GF's signature 24-second tourbillon. The entire screw balance and the frame are tilted 25°. Compared with the general horizontal tourbillon that rotates once in 60 seconds, the rotation speed is faster. The tilt angle makes the viewing angle better. More tricky and interesting - and twice as difficult to make, because the tourbillon frame and the watch bridge are not parallel, making it more difficult to fix the wheel axis. This kind of tourbillon is very rare in other brands, but it is common for GF, which shows its high-end watchmaking technology.

At 8 o'clock is the focus of the watch's function: a metal three-dimensional earth that rotates once every 24 hours, matched with a 24-hour hour circle on the outer edge of the earth. White represents day and black represents night. The previous GF GMT Earth was basically "buried" under the dial, with only a hole dug directly above it, giving the feeling of looking down from above. However, the new GMT Earth lowers the dial next to the earth. Therefore, more and more complete parts of the earth can be exposed, and the three-dimensional shape of the entire sphere is more prominent. With an arched sapphire crystal bezel, it can present a complete view of the earth from the North Pole to the Antarctic from all angles.
In addition to the lowered dial next to the metal globe, the eccentric hour and minute display that occupies most of the upper half of the dial is also hollowed out. Therefore, the gears hidden under the dial in the past are completely displayed, especially when viewed from the side, except for some functions. Except for the basic splint to fix the bearing, all the structures are hollow, and the hour and minute rings are made translucent. In addition to the time train, more transmission gears can be vaguely seen from the mezzanine under the hour and minute dials. For watch fans who like to appreciate the movement, they can definitely look at it for a long time.

The back of the GMT Earth watch is also full of attractions. The watch can display the time in three regions at the same time, and the adjustment range can be accurate to a quarter of an hour. The large city disk on the back of the watch displays summer time and winter time in 24 time zones, making the display more complete. The world time zone function.
The watchmaking philosophy of brand founders Robert and Stephen is engraved on the side of the watch using a positive engraving technique. The sharp-edged font has the feel of an ancient book, and the anti-slip engraving on the crown is also very deep, like a gear.
