==== A New Star in the Watch Sky ====
The watchmakers Robert Greubel (born [[1960]]) and Stephen Forsey (born [[1967]]) met each other in Switzerland in [[1992]] while working at [[Renaud et Papi]]. Since [[1999]] they cooperate on the development of the [[tourbillon]] principle of [[Breguet, Abraham-Louis|Abraham-Louis Breguet]] and have since been launching fascinating and [[rate]] accuracy improved models which engage the viewer immediately.

Greubel comes from France (Alsace), Forsey from England (St. Albans). [[2001]] they founded in [[La Chaux-de-Fonds]] the //CompliTime SA//, a company that is dedicated to the development of complication movements for luxury watch brands. Connoisseurs of the watch industry include the young brand among the top providers and rave both about the inventiveness as well as of the high quality of their products, which are manufactured down to the smallest detail with perfect workmanship.

==== The further development of the tourbillon concept ====
The brand **Greubel Forsey** was founded in [[2004]], when the model [[Greubel Forsey Double Tourbillon 30º|Double Tourbillon 30º]] was brought onto the market. Here for the first time the common new invention of Greubel and Forsey was applied a double tourbillon, whose second bogie is placed inside the first and inclined at an angle of 30°.

In [[2005]] the [[Greubel Forsey Quadruple Tourbillon|Quadruple Tourbillon à Différentiel]] with, as the name suggests, four toubillons was presented. Another spectacular invention is the [[Greubel Forsey Tourbillon 24 Secondes|Tourbillon 24 Secondes]]. With this watch it is claimed to outperform conventionally constructed tourbillons in accuracy.
