An overall view on the Jaeger Lecoultre Gyrotourbillon 1, 2, 3 and Tribute to Gyrotourbillon.
The Gyrotourbillon is a phenomenon born in 2004, at the Jaeger Lecoultre Manufacture. At that time, indeed, and as far as I know, there were not such multi axis tourbillons in the market. Greubel Forsey comes to mind, the same year, if my memory serves me...
Thanks for sharing Nico...
IMHO, the dial of Hybris artistica is really mesmerizing but MASTER GYROTOURBILLON ONE has a dial that’s capable to blend in any situation. Best, mahesh.,
I plan to buy and end of year lottery ticket ...
If I won, I will grab the two on the right. Stay tuned, Cheers, Nilo
We have a deal ...
If I won, a chance in 50 millions, we can buy two Gyros and (of course) ask for a quantity discount! Cheers, Nilo
As promised an end of the year treat from you. Thank you. Will have to read it several times to truly digest the piece. For me I am still pledged to the Tribute but totally understand the appeal of the one.
For me the three has the attraction of a spherical escapement but am not in favor of the chronograph no matter how trick it is. The 2 a definite no. A watch is to be worn and it is not. Thanks again and happy holidays.
The Master Gyrotourbillion One is the One!
I adore that watch. Thank you for the superb report and photos! M4
Nice recap Nico!
I still love the Gyro 2, even though after wearing it for a few months found it totally unwearable! I was pleased when the tribute came along and was close to ordering one when it was announced... but on the wrist at SIHH, it totally lacked the energy and...
Great article !
btw, are you making an announcement soon? I saw Stefan's photos of his meeting with you and thought I spotted a duometre that doesn't belong to him
On aesthetics alone...
the Gyro2 takes the prize! Easily easily Top 5 of all personal Grails and fortunately I have the wrist to wear it. THANK YOU for the early Christmas present to the forum!
Totally in awe !.. Splendid pics of stunning timepieces, icons of high & Tourbillion horology.. Must have been quite a blast !.. :))
.. to have seen this Quartet side-by-side ! Thx for this stimulating share, BTW: my humble fav is also the Gyro I.. Cheers & Best, hs.

Magali M. The beautiful lady who has her big break with Jaeger when she started designing watch. Last I read and saw is that she designed the beautiful and curvy BALL for BMW a few years back. 🤔 hmmm did I have this conversation before, déjà vu...
Thanks for the great summary Nico!
It's a pleasure to see all of these side by side. I share your preference for the One. One of the details I really like is the click blade, and how it rests on the movement bridge...so simple! Happy Holidays! Brandon
