LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE OF THE YEAR

Phase Shifts Park by Mosbach Paysagistes

Phase Shifts Park proposes a dialogue between soil and air, culture and nature, across 230 hectares. It forges interactions between environments and populations. The design invests in lithosphere design, encompassing water, topography, and soil, combined with atmosphere design, addressing factors like heat, humidity, and pollution. The result is a diverse landscape that distributes comfortable ‘niches,’ featuring 11 resorts. The atmosphere’s performance is emphasized by the lithosphere resources, which provide leisure lands, sports areas, and play areas. Urban traffic is partially incorporated into the park’s subsoil, ensuring continuous flow over a 2.7km stretch from South to North. The hills establish a framework that offers vast continuities, intimacy, and protection.

GMT BALANCIER CONVEXE

GREUBEL FORSEY REIMAGINES THE (WATCHMAKING) UNIVERSE

Could this be a return to geocentrism? With the new GMT Balancier Convexe, Greubel Forsey places the Earth back at the centre of its universe. This new GMT calibre replaces all previous GMT models and features, for the first time, its signature inclined balance wheel, as if in orbit around the Earth. A construction whose aesthetic architecture is matched only by its technical mastery and which confirms Greubel Forsey’s resolutely contemporary approach to Fine Watchmaking.

The Earth may no longer be the centre of the universe, as thought by Aristotle through Copernicus, but it is at the centre of Greubel Forsey’s new GMT Balancier Convexe. The perfect titanium sphere with its continents, seas and oceans, is one of the Atelier’s most emblematic creations. It was the centrepiece of the GMT, GMT Earth, GMT Quadruple Tourbillon and GMT Sport, some of Greubel Forsey’s greatest successes to date. Today, Greubel Forsey is dedicating a brand new calibre to the Terrestrial globe, decisively replacing its predecessors. It is the purest and most contemporary interpretation of the GMT complication ever imagined, deeply rooted in the universe of the brand as well as in Haute Horlogerie.

AN EARTHLY AMPHITHEATRE

The Earth is showcased majestically, positioned at the very heart of an amphitheatre-like construction. Flush with the sapphire crystal, almost close enough to the surface to touch, it moves in a constant 24-hour rotation, just as the Earth rotates in real life. This amphitheatre is bordered by three rings which indicate two complementary times: hours and minutes local time, as well as universal time.
The 24 time zones displaying universal time are set against a black background if the time indicated is at night, and on a white background during the day time.

Local time is indicated on the two outer rings: one for the hours on a grey satin-finished ring, and minutes on a thin black outer ring. Each time indication has its own hand with a red triangular tip filled with luminescent material. These hands move on two further rings, engraved with key words dear to the Atelier, to display GMT. Finally, an off-centre display at 10 o’clock indicates a second time zone with a blue gold hand.
For the caseback of the timepiece, Greubel Forsey opted to keep the disc with 24 time zones indicating the UTC time of the 24 reference cities, but with a rather appropriate modification: the UTC of Paris has been replaced by the city where Greubel Forsey has been established since its early days: La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland.

HAND FINISHING PAR EXCELLENCE

The beating heart of the timepiece, appreciated by collectors for its remarkable chronometric performance, is a spectacular sight. Once again, Greubel Forsey stuns with its level fine craftmanship. The 30° inclined balance wheel, seemingly suspended in mid-air, is held by a beautiful flat black polished and barrel polished steel balance wheel bridge on polished steel pillars. To its right, the small seconds, displayed with a blue gold hand completes the ensemble.

The titanium bridges, which serve as the æsthetic backdrop for this horological spectacle, are hand-finished with a steel brush and take on a frosted texture never before applied by Greubel Forsey. The delicate frosted surfaces catch the light and accentuate the globe, which remains the protagonist of the arena.

Finally, the inside of the case is polished so that it mirrors the escapement platform, the Terrestrial globe, and nearly every element visible on the dial side, thus adding incredible depth to this new construction.

SIGNATURE CONVEX CASE

This theatrical composition takes place within the signature convex case designed by Greubel Forsey. Made of titanium and with a diameter of 46.5mm around the bezel and 43.5mm around the caseband, it hugs the curve of the wrist perfectly. It also represents the major technical feat of achieving a movement that follows an imperceptible slope of just a few degrees. The sapphire crystal and satin-finished bezel follow the same curved geometry, which extends onto either a titanium bracelet or a textured rubber strap.

Greubel Forsey will only make 66 GMT Balancier Convexe timepieces: 22 per year between 2022 and 2024.

GMT BALANCIER CONVEXE: Gruebel Forsey timepiece launched via 360 MAGAZINE.

Honorary Mention

ARVINO Launches the Molten Collection

Inspired by perseverance, the Molten Collection’s uneven lines and textures celebrate the beauty in embracing hardship.

New York, NY. July 17, 2023. Adversity is a building block of transformative power and awareness. Thriving despite it, breeds strength and self-confidence—the ultimate accessory. For many, jewels remind them of where they have been. They are the most meaningful talismans. ARVINO’S newly launched Molten Collection is a homage to this journey.

ARVINO Designer, Arvind, says, “We all learn something from perseverance and triumph. Let this collection inspire you and remind you that no matter how bumpy the road gets, you can always rise above it and shine like a star.”

In his Molten Collection, uneven textures and curves convey this story of passion. Baroque pearls are elegantly combined with 18K gold vermeil on sterling silver, using recycled metals. Pearls symbolize a soul’s journey, as well as harmony and humility. Affordable and luxurious, the Molten Collection is the perfect gift for a loved one who is growing, or as a celebration for one’s warrior self.

The collection features three necklaces, four bracelet styles, two earrings and two rings. The Baroque Pearl Melted Necklace has a captivating design. Known for its irregular shape and organic beauty, the necklace honors the allure of the baroque pearl. To match, or wear solo, the timeless Baroque Pearl Melted Bracelet complements the wrist. A play on words, the collection’s Foil Cuff, hoops and ring are symbolic of times when foiled circumstance turns around. The Molten Nugget Necklace sits boldly across the neck, as nuggets of opportunity, while the Molten Nugget Bracelet offers a more subtle symbol. For an everyday statement, the Duplet Layering Necklace features flattened pearls, layered with chain, perfect from day to night.

A reminder of possibility, the Molten Collection empowers the wearer to purse dreams with courage. Jewelry designed for the determined, each piece is a reminder to face obstacles with strength and to proudly stride.

“The Molten Collection celebrates all, with uneven, unique patterns, cuts, and lines. It radiates elegance and each shape narrates a different story—your story,” says Arvind Agarwal.
