Somehow I may sound old-fashioned.. But for me the Gyro-Tourbi 1 was it, then Basta ! ;))
+1 on that the skeletonization can be
variably distractive.
- The old/classic one just fixated, drew
ones eyes to the Tourbi, then time, (and
then RQP & RM) - eyes still would get
the total format..
But who am I, when LGM decides to
have an evolution, to pinpoint ?..
Altogether, of course a magnificent
Haute Horlogerie, unreachable to me
& many others..
Yet still, my heart goes with the original 2004 one,
.. Grail unchanged !!
My humble 0,02 cents

Jaeger Lecoultre Gyrotourbillon One Hybris Mechanica Series.
When I saw this version in the flesh, some 4 years ago, I was speechless. The work on the movement, on the dial ( which is the same, by the way, as the movement is the dial ) is just breathtaking, spectacular. I didn't expect that one. Now, 4 years after,...
Certainly agree with you (I should see both in real to have a better feeling). But you are true when you say that your eyes should keep attention on the gyrotourbillon.
At the same time, regarding the skeletonized of the dial, this time, Jaeger kept the readability which I really appreciate. Best wishes Alkiro
Agree with you !
I always wanted this version and has requested hoc to special commission in platinum casing and the answer was "not possible " as they have limited pieces and numbered and by producing extra one piece and that too out of original configuration of white go...
My eyes would adjust to the differences if I owned this piece hehe
The piece is just that spectacular that I wouldnt mind too much, I think the dial and extra details add to the romance of the piece. Your eyes could be lost in it for days, truely stunning.
That is the problem with the Gyrotourbillon One.
It is so captivating that you loose any notion of time... Best, Rogi, and thanks for your answer. Nicolas
By the way
the watch on the photo has one interesting detail, the date is 16 and it is the only day in month when two blue date hands meet together )

We share the same Grail
While a Patek repeater is close, the original gyro 1 is my Grail as well. Skeleton tourbillons I don\'t like in general -- the eye is distracted from the symphony and dance of the tourbillon and its magic.
I would get really excited.....except for one show stopper
This lovely and interesting JLC has a running equation of time display (in French "equation du temps marchante"). The date shown on this watch is Oct 16. At that time of year, solar time is BEHIND civil time. The amount of correction for that date is appr...
