The 15th edition of the Grand Prix de l’Horlogerie de Genève, held at the end of October, awarded its highest distinction to Greubel Forsey for its Tourbillon 24 Secondes Vision model. This is the second time the brand has been awarded this prize, having already won the Aiguille d’Or in 2010 for its previous model. It’s also an opportunity for us to introduce you to this magnificent jewel of watchmaking expertise, already available on specialized websites like this one, as well as to give our review of this 2015 edition.
The little gem from Greubel Forsey
Rare enough to be highlighted, the Tourbillon 24 Secondes Vision is an ode to sobriety, with its clean, simple lines. However, this does not mean that it will go unnoticed on the wrist, and is a perfect demonstration of the excellence of Greubel Forsey. Everything has been meticulously thought out, from the shape of the hands to the composition and geometry of the dial, highlighting the prowess of its finest complication, its inclined tourbillon composed of 288 parts. This watch is based on the 3rd model from the La Chaux-de-fond-based brand, with a slimmer design that will appeal to precision enthusiasts.
The meeting place for the great Swiss houses
However, the Grand Prix de l’Horlogerie is not satisfied with honoring just one watch, as no fewer than 17 awards were presented during this 15th edition. A number of prestigious names, including Piaget, Audemars Piguet and Hublot – which we featured in our article on the Antikythera wreck exhibition – were among the winners of the various awards, which you can find here. The Geneva Grand Prix aims to reward different aspects of watchmaking, such as innovation, mechanical exception, jewelry and watchmaking revelation, by selecting the watches that have marked the sector this year.
