  Greubel Forsey's most recent invention is aptly called 'The Invention Piece 1' in platinum, which pays tribute to the Double Tourbillon 30°, the first Fundamental Invention by Robert Greubel & Stephen Forsey and the fruit of 4 years’ patient research. In a restructuring of volume and surface, the emblematic double cage is placed at the centre of an innovative display: two triangular indicators – red for the hours, blue for the minutes – show the passing of time on one half of two of the concentric rings on the movement. This sumptuous timepiece, a veritable sculpture on the wrist that comes in 3 unique series (5N red gold, white gold and platinum), has another surprise in store on the back: the story of the Invention engraved in relief on a gold plate.
  
  Robert Greubel and Stephen Forsey are first and foremost Inventors. The resulting exquisitely finished timepieces are validations of the underlying fundamental inventions they develop.
  
  EWT®, for Experimental Watch Technology, is Greubel Forsey' proprietary research and development platform: unique in the field of haute horlogerie. At  the core of the system, a fully-fledged laboratory enables Greubel Forsey to experiment, test and ratify.
  
  The comprehensively equipped Atelier allows Greubel Forsey to manufacture virtually every type of component. This facility provides a very high degree of flexibility; an asset especially valuable at the prototyping stage where it allows new constructions to be quickly and continually improved.
  
  One common denominator of all Greubel Forsey's Inventions is that the complication reliably improves timekeeping precision. The timepieces are not just artistic masterpieces, but functional works of art.
