Stunning New Greubel Forsey Nano Foudroyante EWT Revealed in Abu
Dhabi
This new experimental watch through Greubel Forsey, unveiled in the inaugural Mavericks of Time watch conference in Abu Dhabi (starting tomorrow), is a visible feast and a masterpiece associated with cutting-edge technology.
There’s a saying concerning the United Arab Emirates (UAE): if Dubai is the fun-loving Las Vegas of the UAE, after that Abu Dhabi is the region’s more edgy, culturally advanced Switzerland.
Therefore it’s particularly fitting which watchmaker Greubel Forsey select Abu Dhabi, a associated with immense wealth and tradition, to debut this interesting new watch at the initial Mavericks of Time event curated by Ahmed Seddiqi & Sons.
Several celebrations
Before we have into the specs of this brand new
watch, Greubel Forsey offers two milestones to mention using the release of the
Nano Foudroyante EWT (you know, besides the brand’s 20th anniversary, that it is
also celebrating this year).
First, the actual movement of this new view is built using nanomechanics, the particular brand’s tenth “fundamental invention” and the one it views to be “most technologically disruptive”.
Second, the brand new Nano Foudroyante EWT may be the first Greubel Forsey watch to feature a flying tourbillon and a manual-winding flyback.
Accelerate…
Searching back at the history regarding horological
instruments, the path of development has always been miniaturization: tower
clocks gave method to grandfather clocks, then mantel clocks and table lighting,
then pocket watches and lastly wristwatches.
Right now, with advanced nanomechanics, we are able to regulate the energy of a enjoy movement on an even smaller sized scale, reducing energy usage and the total number of components needed to power a watch.

Since the late 19th century, watches have been utilizing femtoseconds (also known as " flying seconds" or " lightning seconds" ) with regard to timekeeping. Traditionally, a femtosecond hand displays a one-second interval on a subdial, subdividing it into small secs segments according to the frequency from the balance wheel, which raises precision and allows for the " jumping" countdown.
Fun fact: The actual French word " foudroyant" means " struck through lightning". Hence, the German born name for this complication is actually " blitzende sekunde" (flickering seconds). The Italian term " diavoletto" (little devil) is perhaps our favorite.
…slimming down…
Within the new Greubel Forsey Basso Foudroyante EWT,
the 3Hz balance wheel beats 6 times per second, eating just 16 nanojoules (or 0.
016 microjoules) for each beat (a traditional mere seconds tourbillon consumes
30 microjoules per beat). This means that for any continuously rotating
tourbillon moments hand, power consumption will be reduced by approximately 九成.
In addition , by causing the seconds tourbillon any perpetual display, Greubel Forsey has been able to remove the equipment train used for the split-seconds in a traditional tourbillon, and in turn source and manage the power directly from a streamlined group of low-inertia gears. Fewer elements means a smaller movement.
The new movement includes just 428 parts as well as measures 31 mm within diameter, making it the smallest motion ever made by Greubel Forsey.
So that is a quick introduction to a very specialized development. We wish we're able to go deeper, but Greubel Forsey is understandably coy about the details of this new technologies.

For even more visual effect, the six-segment jumping hands display is
located on the brand’s first flying tourbillon, in 5 o’clock. As the tourbillon
rotates, the nano-tourbillon indication always points to 12 o’clock, ensuring
easy readability.
A traditional small just a few seconds indicator between 7 and also 8 o’clock and a moment chronograph subdial at nine o’clock (operated by a pusher at 1 o’clock) total the horological offering that help balance the dial area.
The Ridotto Foudroyante EWT watch includes a 37. 9 mm tantalum and white gold case having a hand-polished tantalum bezel, some sort of transparent caseback and a high-class fabric strap.
