At the heart of the timepiece is the Double Tourbillon 30° mechanism?; however, to perpetuate the art of horology and contribute to its 21st century development, several additional technical elements have been added, including four fast-rotating co-axial barrels. 

Invention Piece 3 pays homage to Greubel Forsey's third invention, the Tourbillon 24 Secondes Incliné. The third invention consists of a single tourbillon cage inclined at a 25° angle and performing a rapid rotation in 24 seconds.

The minute display is concentric to the hour dial, with the hours distinguished by a red indicator and the minutes by a blue one. The power reserve, offset at 2 o’clock, is visually balanced by the tourbillon at 8 o’clock and provides linear reading of the indications. A sub-seconds dial at 5 o’clock ensures the overall equilibrium of the timepiece.

Steven Forsey was one of those invited to discuss his work and he gave an excellent talk about the why and how of the Greubel Forsey approach to horology.
