There are many Tourbillons which make a hole in the dial.
And I have to say that this is not my favourite configuration...
I much prefer the Tourbillon in the case back, or when the Tourbillon is part of rthe dial ( Reverso Pt Nr 2 / GP Tourbillon 3 GBs / Gyro I, II, and Sphero ).
Best, and thanks for your input, Blomman.

SIHH 2012: Master Ultra Thin Tourbillon.
It seems that JLC has a soft spot for the Tourbillon, or should I say Tourbillons? Since 1993 and the birth of the Reverso Tourbillon, Jaeger-LeCoultre has shown many different expressions of this " sophisticatiion in Time ". The Reverso Tourbillon: We ca...
At the strike of midnight.
What a great selection to enjoy. I will follow with some feb-29/mar 1 pictures to follow for midnight post. Thanks for sharing these novelties. I am looking forward to more. A+ Bill
You know I love striking at midnight, Bill. :)
Yes, this is an excellent idea, my friend. Please do so! Best, Nicolas This message has been edited by amanico on 2012-03-01 00:13:52
Yes very elegant watch
its difficult to make a watch with "a hole on the dial"that appeal to me ,but somehow it works her. The idea of slimness and elegance is delivered. Thank you Nico for the report but the article should have been much better without the picture of Pt n1(ske...
You meant the Platinum Nr 2 Skeleton, maybe? :)
Agreed, this watcxh is on the top of my wish list of ugly watches. Best, my friend. Nicolas
I can understand that. That is why JLC released it in a LE of 35 pieces, only. ;)
And that is certainly why we are all running after... Best, Nicolas
I know i know...but
sit on that river bed and wait...it wll pass one day.......be ready.... Mo
I was on to get it, though.
But when I knew that its previous owner was " killed " by the taxman, I preferrd to pass on it... I am superstitious. Best, Nicolas
I bet you wouldn t pass on today...would you?
If it will appear again,call me I am not that superstitious...or i will happily deal with the consequences...... Mo
thanks for the review Nicolas,
so which one is more important, the result of the actual Tourbillon or finishing and decoration? I believe most people do concern about finishing very much hmmmm.... best, Ed
yes,
but too bad, JLC has not make a very well finished calibre, I wonder do you need compromise, where accuracy is more important, or the beauty is more important,
Depends on the target price....
If you want an extremely well finished JLC tourbillon, then this one is for you, beautiful and extremely accurate: Well, this is another story... Best, Nicolas...
Well, with your last catches, you are pretty well covered. :)
Let some nice stuffs to the others... )) All the best, Nicolas
Smaller size...
I think it's good that JLC go down in size! Not everybody likes lugs that goes outside your wrist... As for the MUT Tourbillon - a stunning piece! But as after reading several opinion about "hole" in the dial... I have to agree. Personally I love the PL n...

Totally agree with you ...
smaller sizes is good news and platinum 2 an absolute dream thank you Nicolas for the review and the pictures cheers Gilles
Good news: the three-bladed hand was removed.
What a relief! An elegant watch which makes me think about the GP 1966 Tourbillon in a sense. A solid offer for a classic Tourbillon. Thanks for the presentation. Fx
MUT Tourbillion vs Tourbillion Date 39
Thanks for the review, Amanico. You did not mention any data or figures about this watch's accuracy. The Tourbillion Date 39 has the cal 978 which won the comp. Is the new movement, 982, any better ? Do you have any data from JLC on this issue? I am tryin...
Hi Tri,
There is, at the exception of the date, no difference between the Cal 978 and the Cal 982. It is not better, nor worse. You will only have to choose between the date or the no date tourbillon, it is just a matter of taste, your taste. All the best, and br...
Having looked at this watch from the different angles...
...I must say I am really liking this case shape. I love it no matter what complication is put inside it. Ever so graceful. The SIHH 2012 pieces are yet to be delivered and now I am thinking about what 2013 may bring already. And as usual, I find your his...
great review - thanks
Dear all, this is my first post and would like to share with you a close up video of this fine movement uploaded on youtube : oh, great review - thanks!
