To pay homage to their third invention, the Tourbillon 24 Secondes, Robert Greubel and Stephen Forsey have taken on the challenge of housing a mechanism, combining complex and innovative techniques within an unprecedented architectural setting.

Invention Piece 3 consists of a single tourbillon cage inclined at a 25 degree angle and performing a rapid every 24 seconds, guaranteeing the timepieces maximum efficiency and optimal performance on the wrist.

A personal message from Robert Greubel and Stephen Forsey is engraved on the gold plates which reveals their extreme dedication to horology and is meant to make a direct and meaningful connection between the owner and the watchmakers. Invention Piece 3 is a feast for the eyes of dreamers and the hearts of technicians alike. A unique edition, No. 9 of 11 pcs.
