That's the only way to describe the Gyrotourbillon 5. At the contrary of the other Gyros, at the exception of the 3, the complications of the 5 are as important as its Gyro, I think. Thanks, emcquillan. [nt]

SIHH 2019: Jaeger Lecoultre Master Grande Tradition Gyrotourbillon Westminster Perpetual, aka Gyrotourbillon 5. The review.
INTRODUCTION Jaeger-Lecoultre has a curious habit... They give some very long names to their watches too often. So, please allow me to call the Master Grande Tradition Gyrotourbillon Westminster Perpetual the Gyrotourbillon Five, which is an appropriate n...
Totally....
amazing of course, it is now my second favorite after the Reverso Tribute, but technically the most impressive and just as wearable . Now, let me go rob a bank and I'll be right back x)........
Fascinating!
These are tributes to human ingenuity. I wonder how many hours it take to put one together
Thanks for this great and well illustrated review
It is just this kind of presentations I love: Some technical explanations understandable by a layman and reference to other models to show where technical solutions come from, or have been improved upon. And it makes such a difference to have excellent ph...
So you managed to shorten "Jaeger Lecoultre Master Grande Tradition Gyrotourbillon Westminster Perpetual" to "the Five" ? Impressive !
Jokes aside, thanks A LOT for this great review. Reading you was a pure moment of dream. This watch is just WHAOU ! As a result, I almost pulled the trigger, but could not decide on the blue or white dial... then the phone rang and I woke up
He he he... I was speechless, when I discovered the first pictures on a giant screen at the Manufacture, in December. I had to wait one more month before being able to " touch it ".
Indeed, a Wow Watch. Thanks, DMS. Best, Nicolas
Great.. thanks a lot...
at 0:58-10:00 mark of video there is some kind of mechanical micro regulation of leather strap... nay more pics of that....
Spectacular review of perhaps 2019 SIHH's star. Thank you
The look back at G1-4, the dissection of each complication and component of G5 and real live photos almost make you feel one's handling the piece at a boutique so very few of us will ever see. A real grail. Best,
Haute Horlogerie from Jaeger-LeCoultre at it's finest... wow!
That quadruple is amazing. Fuck sizes, fuck fancy designs, this is what I want and appreciate about this hobby!
A beautiful marvel.
Not easy to beat Nº1 but ....... I would hesitate too. Thanks for sharing. Vte
The details on the movement finishing look amazing...
with each new piece, the level of finish is improved. Personally, prefer the white sand-grained dial with blue hands more than the blue dial, for legibility. I hope JLC will record the definitive piece for the YouTube channel. -Dean
2 words Nico...PURE MAGIC...
as you know, I am with you regarding the Gyro 1. But the moment I first saw and read about the Gyro 5 I knew it would be my favorite of the Gyro line and probably my favorite JLC produced at any price. I appreciate it for the technical achievement as well...
Thanks for your comments, Bruce. I share your enthusiasm on this " 5 ". I love to call it The Five, by the way. It reminds me another legendary Five, in the universe of perfume. ;)
Because I think it is an instant classic. And an instant dream. Best, Nicolas
well your other Five did acquire a minority share of FP Journe....
so I guess both Fives have good taste and an eye for haute horlogerie 😉👍
Thank you
This is an awesome review of an awesome watch. Reviews like this are why I'm a member here, and while I contribute nothing to the conversation like you and other members, thank you. This is an amazing feat of micro engineering
Fantastic review, Nico!
A very thorough and comprehensive review, my friend. Reading this with a cup of coffee... oh la la. Just like The Gyrotourbillon Five, mind blowing! Speechless. Thanks for your effort on such a superb writing, my friend Cheers
Unbelievable - no words can describe The Five 🙏
Thanks for getting the chance to share your insights about this piece of art, Nico 👏🏻
Watch snobisme? When you look at certain watches such as the Master or Reverso Ultra Thin manual, the Geophysic UT or TS, the Duometre, or the Gyrotourbillons...
I don't see Patek is doing better... Best, Nicolas
A pinnacle achievement...
An incredibly impressive piece by a very complicated house! Bravo to Jaeger-LeCoultre for creating such an impressive watch! And an excellent review of the piece Nicolas! Extremely thorough! Bravo Nicolas!
Nico, this is a superb review of a magnificent time piece!!I can only imagine the time and effort you put into this.
After reading this and reviewing the video I thought that despite the fact there are only limited pieces available I thought that there should only be one! I look at this is the same I would as a Monet or Picasso. It felt strange to think that way. Thank ...
