With this new timepiece, GMT Earth, Robert Greubel and
Stephen Forsey took up the challenge of providing a complete
three-dimensional view of the terrestrial globe from the North
Pole to the South.

This spatial 360° view was made possible by
rearranging the architecture of the movement and the case,
which has a side window in shaped sapphire, as well as a
sapphire crystal case back in three dimensions with a built-in
dome. Three time zones are visible simultaneously, and these
can be set to the nearest quarter of an hour. Moreover, on the
rear of the watch the 24 time zones, including summer and
winter times, complement the universal time indicated by the
terrestrial globe.
