In 2010, Greubel Forsey won the coveted 'Aiguille d'Or' at the 10th Grand Prix d'Horlogerie de Genève for the 'Double Tourbillon 30° Edition Historique'. This masterpiece, which was conceived as the final development of the manufacture's first creation, the Double Tourbillon 30° Contemporaine, presented in 2004, embodied the brand's unwavering commitment to chronometric innovation. Whether the tourbillon can actually improve precision despite its beauty and kinetic appeal has long been a mystery to high watchmaking enthusiasts. When the Double Tourbillon 30° Technique won the 'Concours International de Chronométrie' in 2011 with an incredible score of 915 out of 1'000, the highest ever recorded in the competition's history, Greubel Forsey provided a definitive response.
The Double Tourbillon 30° Edition Historique, which was made in an extremely limited quantity of just 11 platinum pieces, has a special and significant place in the company's history. It is the last series to contain the renowned calibre DT30°, the movement that served as the basis for Greubel Forsey's quest for unwavering accuracy. Because of this, the brand named the model 'Edition Historique', paying homage to its years of research and development.
Four engraved and hand-finished panels, each honoring the manufacturer's horological accomplishments and this historic creation, adorn the case for the first time in the brand's history. The watch's unique production number is finely engraved on a numbered red gold plate that is set into the left seconds register, further enhancing its exclusivity.
The model takes its name from the innovative Double Tourbillon 30° system, a patented complication that is one of the most significant technical advancements in contemporary horology. Greubel Forsey refined this mechanism after more than four years of research and development, creating a smaller inner cage that rotates once every 60 seconds housed inside a larger outer tourbillon cage that completes one full rotation every four minutes. This advanced architecture provides the highest chronometric performance by continuously compensating for errors caused by gravity.

Working together for over 20 years, Robert Greubel and Stephen Forsey are bonded by their unwavering quest for excellence and shared technical inventiveness. The pair is renowned for their cutting-edge watchmaking, which skillfully combines extremely intricate mechanisms with daring and intriguing design ideas.
As two of the most talented watchmakers of their generation, they began creating complicated movements for Renaud & Papi in 1992, marking the beginning of their journey into legend. They each started their own independent branch in 1999, establishing CompliTime Greubel, La Neuveville and the Bureau d’Etude et Prototype, Le Locle. Their goal was clear from the start: to develop a completely new line of tourbillons that were especially designed to push the boundaries of chronometric accuracy and rethink what a mechanical watch could accomplish.
