I do not know which one I could choose if I had the opportunity to buy one one day
Nevertheless, my heart tells me the Hybris Mechanica 11 because it would be more wearable on my wrist, it holds my favourite complication (minute repeater) and a nice frozen dial. And, last but not least, a Tourbillon.
I own a JLC Master Tourbillon in steel and it would be a big next step in my collection to own this beauty.
Thank you again
Best wishes

Shock and awe. What more can I say?
A pair of the most incredible watches. Technically the Hybris Mechanica 11 is a technological force to behold. It wears great and although thin does not feel fragile. 4 patents and completely understated. It sits well on the wrist and quietly goes about c...
Both the Hybris Mechanica 11 and the Tribute Gyrotourbillon are tours de force, for sure.
I am still waiting to listen to the definitive HM 11, but what I heard sounded promising. Now, I would have preferred a HM 11 WITHOUT Tourbillon, I must say. As for the Reverso Tribute Gyrotourbillon, I was totally smitten by it. The size, but most import...
Highly tempted, at least? Do you spend sleepless nights?
Are your hands shaking? Does your heart beat faster? If yes, then, it will end on your wrist. Best, my friend. Nicolas
You killed me for the weekend. I think I am more than jealous!!!
Thank you for your post

That I know for sure my friend. Side by side the gyro overwhelms the HM 11 as the gyro is a dominant piece.
The gyros escapement is mesmerizing as you have seen. I still have yet to hear the song of the HM 11 and that may call to me. Such temptations. Cheers.
Like I have said... The reverso aesthetic does not work on my wrist...
This is why I have to hope that JLC continue to develop the new technologies of the Gyrotourbillon in the future and hope we see it in a Master case? 12.5mm thick.
The fact is that JLC has many different irons in their fires and keep amazing us in different lines. I am sure that as time progresses the Manufacture will continue stretching the boundaries of what is possible in different lines. They certainly don't
Put all their creative eggs in one basket. Cheers Mitch
I love watches with high technology inside. But they are really mastered for me when you can easily wear them (think about the FM Aeternitas Mega 4)
Of course, in the case of the JLC gyrotourbillon, you cannot avoid a bigger size than a classic tourbillon due to its 3D revolution. But for me it is more a "strength demonstration" than a watch you can wear everyday... which is not the case of the Hybris...
In the case of the Reverso Tribute to Gyro, the height is remarkable: 12, 4 mm, if I remember correctly.
Not much more than a traditional tourbillon. A true challenge. Best, Nicolas
Epic....
couple from my favorite maison . My choice would be the Gyro 4 as well . Thanks for the shots! Cheers, Filip
My choice would be the Gyro 4...
Size and high technology inside a duo or master case!
Difficult
choice, very difficult ...... I had the Gyro on my wrist during the SIHH 2016 and was completely blown away, mesmerizing...but the Hybris Mechanica 11 is special, really special, classy, thin, a superb minute repeater and a lovely tourbillon, but the Gyro...
Cannot disagree with the comments made. I highly doubt that a gyro would end up in the master line due to the thickness of the movement. It is a king in the world of tourbillons for sure. The speed of its revolutions in two dimensions is fast in order
To improve its accuracy. Faster then the ones in the brand most notable for multi-axis tourbillons, Gruebel Forsey. I am not sure that I totally agree with Nicolas that we shouldn\'t like to see more gyro models. I\'m not too concerned however as they are...
I see your point, Mitch. Like you, I am a big fan of the Gyrotourbillon One.
I love it that much that I wouldn't like to see it " vulgarized " as the Tourbillon is, nowadays. Remember only 15 years ago? The Tourbillon was something mesmerizing. Exclusive, Elitist, Rare ( quite rare, to be honest ), Luxurious. Now? Every brand, eve...
HM II
Hi Mitch, Long time! Great memories. HMII no question. The size will suit you perfectly, it's not stupidly thick - it's a crowning piece of awesomeness for all the best reasons in tune with JLC's raison d'etre and effortlessly understated. Still a great c...
Greetings to you and yours across the pond. Yes it has been a long time, too long. But yes great memories.
By their nature any tourbillon is a conference watch but these two would certainly both be great boredom relievers during a meeting. Frankly the Gyro 4 would have me miss huge swathes of meetings. I am ok with the HM 11 dial as it really does fly under th...
I make do with a sweeping seconds....
for conferences. I find 2handers too slow, so this suits because of the whirlwind AND it has an overcoil to boot But seriously, you have a nice problem. Hmmm, I know you love art and I wonder if you could commission a dial of some description. Enamel or e...
