Greubel Forsey, renowned for their high-end luxury watches, has just introduced their latest timepiece, the Nano Foudroyante EWT. Uncharacteristically, this new watch is of a moderate size and has a more understated aesthetic. However, there is much more to it than meets the eye.
The Nano Foudroyante EWT is Greubel Forsey's first ever chronograph and also features their first flying tourbillon. The 37.9mm diameter and 10.5 mm thickness make it a significantly smaller watch than what the brand is known for, making it a noteworthy release in itself.
The watch incorporates the world's first perpetual Nano Foudroyante, a hand that completes a full rotation in one second to display fractions of a second. The foudroyante hand is connected to the escapement and rotates atop the flying tourbillon, providing a unique visual aspect.
The energy management in the Nano Foudroyante EWT is achieved on a nanojoule scale, resulting in a drastic reduction in energy consumption and the number of components. This technological disruption sets it apart from other mechanical watches on the market.
The watch is crafted in white gold and tantalum, giving it an elegant and luxurious appearance. It is limited to only 11 pieces, making it a highly exclusive collector's item. The price for this unique timepiece has not been disclosed.
Overall, the Nano Foudroyante EWT is a groundbreaking watch that showcases Greubel Forsey's dedication to innovation and precision in watchmaking. It is sure to appeal to serious collectors with a discerning taste and a generous budget.
