Greubel Forsey GMT watch with a Flying Globe

Greubel Forsey’s new GMT, which manages to squeeze a 3d spinning miniature globe under its glass and of course has an ingenious tourbillion.

But what it also has is a three dimensional flying globe at 8 o’clock that is secured at just one end – the south pole – allowing for optimal viewing of this incredible titanium sphere.

The globe makes one complete rotation every 24 hours anticlockwise – the Earth’s natural rotational direction – the position of the continents can be neatly cross-referenced with the 24-hour, day-and-night indicator on the equatorial chapter ring.
