Worth a little tease then....
But I have to say I was thinking from your teasing it was the Extreme LAB...!!!
Little question on the back of the Gyro...there are 2 indicators, one goes J 1 2 3 - D which I assume is the months, the other is a long hand which points to 1 2 3 B which I assume is the leap years. Isn't the month also shown on the front..?? So is this second one just to save you turning the watch over to set the leap year and month..??
Stunning piece - I find myself every now and again looking at it work on You Tube..!!!

MAGALI'S TRIUMPH, THE GYROTOURBILLON 1 >>>
The Gyrotourbillon 1, Magali's Triumph. Don't misunderstand me, I'm not saying that Magali created alone the Gyrotourbillon 1, as it's the work of a team composed by 5 people: Eric Coudray, Thierry Grenier- Boley, André Reymond, Jacques Coulet, and...Maga...
spectacular!
WOW that watch is spectacular. consider traind the MMR for this watch?? hahaah
I 'm a huge fan of Magali 's work !
When I first saw the MC Memovox in person ,I knew right away that I just had to have one ! Her design influence puts a bold ,modern look to a Manufacturer more known for their classical and elegant looks. The next piece I'm looking forward to seeing in pe...
I don't have words for this one either!
Hi Nicolas, It was love at first sight for me with this one and I forgot the MMR, teh exact contrary as yours once again! To look at it working is the greatest horological pleasure I've had. It also helps in the fact that after looking at this one a "norm...
Hope that we'll see a Gyro II >>>
And soon, please! Totally agree, this piece is at the higher place in my Dream List... I was voiceless in front of it, and Philippe, of the Boutique was amused to see me like that! I partially agree about the fact tha the Gyro kils the others...Yes, it's ...
wheel at 4 o'clock?
When looking at the back, there's a wolf-tooth wheel at 4 o'clock....what's it do? More importantly, when are you going to get one? -a
Seeing is believing
I thought you were more focused when we visited the Gyro workshop 2 years ago, obviously not... lol Not many can understand the genius of this piece and it was not surprising to see it is built in a small atelier outside of the MJLC complex. If I remember...
Very nice report - Thank you
Nicolas, Excellent report as always. Magali is one superStar we hope to see even more of. Bill
Ha! I knew you would come forward with that one, Nicolas!
Indeed technically a brilliant watch. An Magalies contribution to the looks of it could defy a probe by PROPER, no doubt, but: The exception proves the rule ! The majority of Magalies designs are not that symmetrical and balanced. Great shots and that one...

Thank you ...
... for teasing us with this one, it was worth it. And it's a petty the price is a little bit high. Filip
Again outdid yourself
fantastic report and piece ..... why I was not born as sheik :0((
What could be in store for the Gyrotourbillon II ?
More than many watches, surely JLC left the door open for a sequel by naming this first creation Gyrotourbillon I. I wonder what JLC could possibly have in mind for us? A triple axis rotary tourbillon? More astronomical complications to compliment the rot...
Andrew, when I saw that The Gyro was I >>>
I thought like you that we may have a Gyro II. But I didn't see nothing in 2006, nor in 2007... I'd like a very sophisiticated pîece, with the maximum level of finish for the dial and the movement, the kind of piece that kills all the others... Gyro I was...
Another video of the Gyro
I took this one last summer through a microscope that JLC had set-up for us. http://media.putfile.com/Gyrotourbillon Enjoy! Al
A beautiful one indeed...
I too never fully appreciated how intricate and lovely all the features of this technological Tour de Force of JLC come together until I was finally able to see one in the metal. With this piece and the delicious TI MMR, I think JLC has laid out the gaunt...
I hope they use titanium again for this watch and make it
skeletonized. That would be awesome! Could I commission a piece unique? Thanks again, Nicolas!
beyond words...
without a doubt, my all time favourite fantasy piece. got to see try on the pvd one at tempus last year and saw the non-pvd one at the singapore boutique opening. breathtaking.
Please, Moses, tell us more about the PVD
My 1st impression wasn't that good about it...I wondered why a PVD version of the Gyro??? Maybe I'm a bit too conservative, and I didn't see the watch, so I won't take a final position on it but I was amazed. Best. Nicolas
Hi Nicolas,
This is the JLC what always intriges me alot, love the dial, love the back, and the tourbillon is magnificent to see, in some ways i think that JLC has a little bit the same as AP with their RO, and JLC with the reverso, they take such a big place, that t...
