I like the larger balance wheel of this construction, which can oscillate outside the cage.
I have read about this innovation. This construction seems to offer many advantages (high precision, optimized isochronism and ultimately very beautiful to look at!!)
I didn’t know anything about spherical springs and during my research I have only found that JLC

used the concept of the spherical spring. Do you know if JLC also invented it? What are the reasons? Better regulation or accuracy? Or better power transmission? Or is this done just for design reasons?
Sorry for the many questions. I don't want to make work for you, but maybe you have a few answers ready? ☺️
PS: do a search on our JLC forum about Gyro II, III, Reverso Tribute Gyrotourbillon, Duometre Spheerotourbillon. But I recently saw such a spring from someone else, I just can't remember...
It's funny, call me watch snob, but this is a brand, I would have a hard time buying..

Yet I have contemplated the idea with the Nicolas Rieussec for example... They do work hard to propose decent movement and pleasing aesthetic, yet I am not convinced, I would ever shell out hard cash for one. They do offer some pretty good products though.
