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.

The watchmaking company Eterna has presented a new, limited edition of fifty models, to mark the fiftieth anniversary of the company's KonTiki line. Already the explorer Thor Heyerdahl took an Eterna timepiece on his famous KonTiki expedition across the Pacific. These extremely sturdy and water-proof watches - a rarity in those times - developed into the Eterna KonTiki sports watch line. The KonTiki line has since come to symbolise the brand's traditional identity. The new KonTiki Anniversary design has been modelled on the first KonTiki watch manufactured in the year 1958.
