GMT, the first true Greubel Forsey complication?

Stricto Sensu, high power reserve or tourbillon are not complications. Complications were defined as additional function rather than improvement in HMS function. Greubel Forsey luxury watch

Aside from the flimsy power reserve and the excellent work of the builders, Steven Fauci and Robert Grubel never added complexity to their horological cathedral. Even the quadruple or double tech tourbillons don’t bring any extra functionality, despite their excellent accuracy (CF’s victory in the Chronometry competition).

The GMT, broadly named, reveals a complexity whose plumage’s interest is inversely proportional to the sobriety of its song.

This watch is the next step in the three-dimensional work that Greubel Forsey has pursued so far.

Classic elegance tends towards ultra-flat cases, and GF always goes against the trend with very chunky models. GF’s pursuit of precision by tilting the tourbillon greatly affects the thickness of the case.

Internally, the main discussion had to focus on how to make optimal use of these volumes, something almost never seen in watchmaking.

Digression: Maybe GF should overhaul their design (like the “Histoire de Tourbillon 3”, a watch produced by Harry Winston in collaboration with GF’s design office Complitime). Because the classic round case is offbeat compared to the iconoclastic design of the GF movement.

So, to get up to speed, GF had to apply their outstanding talent in 3D design to their new work.

This GMT pays off with a giant globe made of anodized titanium.

Now, of course, electroplating isn’t very glamorous. However, comparing electroplating to a chemistry class on this world map is akin to comparing the work of a microsurgeon to that of a veterinarian.

The globe (13mm diameter) is engraved with precision drill bits, while the continents are covered with a protective coating. Then, the exposed area, the ocean, is attacked by the acid. The parts are then coated with several coats of electroplating to produce these magnificent seas of lacquered blue.

A related technology used in this 24-second tourbillon, remember HW Opus VI:
Mounted on its south pole axis, this mini-Earth rotates counterclockwise like our planet in 24 hours.

A pusher at 11 o’clock advances the time zone while displaying it at 11 o’clock, while a disc on the back of the case displays the 24 time zones as well as summer and winter times.
Contrary to white cities, black cities do not have daylight saving time.

Summer time is on the central ring, while “standard” time is on the outer ring.

Undoubtedly, this device takes time to get used to, which shouldn’t be a problem for the lucky owner of this beauty. Discount watches

Based on its layout, the disk is somewhat reminiscent of the Pirata GMT from Cuervos y Sobrinos, a piece more travel-friendly than many GMT watches.

Here, without searching for Gogol, who knows Astana, Apia or F. de Noronha?

The overall design uses more concentric circles than ever before; of course, the device resembles a planetary gear, and features Earth at its peak. The power reserve indicator is at 3 pm, the second time zone is at 10 o’clock, while the world time is of course displayed between 6 and 8 o’clock, indicated by the rotation of the earth. The case measures 43.5 x 16mm, but it’s more bulky than the Luminor’s 44mm, as its aperture and thickness appear to be only 45mm. Indeed, this watch is not for lovers of fine ultra-thin watches, in addition, the twist of the 25° inclined tourbillon and a very fast 24 seconds. The spin reminds us that dreams have become reality.

Off topic: Like most of GF’s products, the case has a hole on one side that allows the Earth to be seen through the clear sapphire.

Now, let’s imagine that the globe is covered with polarized glass on the dial, which allows light to go out but not in; light only comes in from the sides, so the earth will be covered in the same way the sun’s rays illuminate the earth illuminate.

When one cannot increase the surface area any further, one adds volume, as is the case with buildings (especially those in New York, whose designs are one of the watchmakers’ main sources of inspiration).

From replica MB&F to Greubel-Forsey to Hautlence, independent watchmakers have changed the design of complications and displays by adding height as an extra dimension in their quest for updates.

With this GMT, their first three-dimensional watch with a complication, GF has reached a turning point in its evolution, at least as important as Invention 1; Complications are reinterpreted in new dimensions, and they can create new standards in watchmaking.

Drake’s Richard Mille RM69 erotic tourbillon watch

This is our message for Richard Mille (Richard Mille) watching the Drake Waugh (NBA) final The RM 69 tourbillon erotica allows the rapper to express his desire for NSFW.

Drake’s Richard Mille watch made headlines again. The rapper wore his RM69 erotic tourbillon to the NBA Finals this week.

Wearing a black T-shirt and matching sweatpants, the “In My Feelings” rapper was dressed relatively neatly for the fifth game of the Toronto final on Monday night, but his minimalist decoration was decorated with attractive wrist candy. No stranger to unrequited love, or beating love in dozens (and dozens) of songs, this Canadian clock seems to imply that he does think it is best to care about the spirit as soon as possible. What you want in the bedroom.

The front of the manual-winding watch is first discovered by the “sixth page”, with three mechanical panels that can display different “tempting” messages. The first shows the request (e.g. “I want”, “let me”), the second shows the emotional verbs (“taste”, “caress”), and the third shows the details (“your lips”, “tonight you “). According to reports, in the game where the Golden State Warriors defeated the hometown Raptors 106-105, Drake’s 69 ringgit was designated as a very mature and elegant “I want to kiss your relatives.”

This watch debuted in 2015 and was inspired by pornographic timepieces in the history of watchmaking, many of which are “banned and confiscated” and can only be enjoyed privately. The brand said: “However, on RM 69, love and pornography declared themselves proudly and clearly in words.” “Away from the scene of life brought by automata, this creation is eager to express passion, sensuality and even sexuality in public. On his wish.”

Inspired by the theme of liberation, the brand’s goal is to let customers truly understand their needs, and said: “Activation by pressing the button at 10 o’clock as required clearly shows the wearer’s deepest desire. “

In addition to the sexually impulsive Mad Libs function, Drake’s brushed titanium and black watches cheap also have a manual winding tourbillon movement (designed in collaboration with Audemars Papi Renaud & Papi), composed of 505 components and 41 jewels, with ” Oracle” complication, retractable hours and minutes, and of course a 69-hour power reserve indicator. Only 30 trials can be carried out, but long-term production may not be enough to attract Rihanna.

NEW 2020 HUBLOT BIG BANG UNICO SANG BLEU II ALL BLACK Limited Edition

Luxury Hublot Big Bang SANG BLEU II ALL BLACK 418.CX.1114.RX.MXM20 Replica watch

Hublot showcased the latest collaboration timepieces created in collaboration with Sang Bleu founder and Hublot ambassador Maxime Plescia-Büchi.

In order to carry out this new artistic collaboration, Hublot’s all-black concept has been etched in black ink, just like a black ink tattoo. Big Bang Unico Sang Bleu II is all black and bold and monochromatic, showing the full three-dimensional geometry of the talented graphite spelling genius. The materials-infused with black, polished and satin, beveled and faceted, show the interaction of light and dark in the relief.

Since 2016, the artist has been collaborating with Hublot to design a confident watch with the same brushstrokes as the lines he drew on people, while drawing hypnotic and architectural shapes. The new interpretation of “Big Bang Unico Sang Bleu II All Black” completely uses black, which is the favorite color of watchmakers and artists. fashion replica watches

Hublot proposed the concept of “all black” in 2006, that is, using the same black in tone style. This is a breakthrough vision that will become an iconic symbol: “invisible visibility”. Perhaps coincidentally, 2006 was also the year that Maxime Plescia-Büchi used black ink as its iconic medium of expression.

In the spirit of shading tattoos, the abstract geometric shapes he usually draws directly on the skin are all black, where the case is covered in deep black and symbolic black. Just like the requirements for this all-black ink, artists need higher precision and skill, and the monochrome materials used here also require perfection. Online cheap watches

The 45mm diameter case is cut from black ceramic and black PVD-coated titanium. The master tattoo artist alternately superimposes hexagons, diamonds and triangles, measuring from the bezel to the HUB1240 Unico manufacture automatic winding chronograph The time of the movement is under the skeletonized dial and the open caseback.

The dimensional effect of this monochromatic watch is not affected at all, but in fact it is the opposite: the polygonal movement created by the tattoo artist is highlighted in the light directly reflected from the polished and satin material that has been carved and chiseled into Angles and facets.
