The cage of the mechanism performs a complete turn in just 24 seconds. The prize was officially resented to Stephen Forsey on November 1st 2007, at a gala evening held by the magazine in the lounges of the Beau-Rivage Hotel in Geneva.

The Double Tourbillon 30° is now available in two versions: "Vision" and "Secret". Vision is the DT30° with its exquisite tourbillons on full display through the open dial.

Invention Piece 1
11st April 2007
The Invention Piece 1 is an entirely new take on the Double Tourbillon 30°; one which raises an incredibly high bar even higher. Robert Greubel and Stephen Forsey created Invention Piece 1 as their way to pay homeage to the Double Tourbillon 30°. The intriguingly atypical layout of the indications, coupled with its extremely limited availability, are certain to ensure that Invention Piece 1 will be a much sought after prize for discerning collectors.
