Gyrotourbillon 1 - new owner
I had posted last week asking for any opinions on the JLC Gyrotourbillon1 that I was planning on looking at. Thank you to those who kindly offered some views, all of which were encouragingly positive. Special thanks to Amanico for his so many informative past and present posts on this (and other) special watches. Needless to say, after seeing it in person, there was no realistic way to say no to it. I quickly did the math on what organs to sell, and it is here to stay.
In my humble opinion, it showcases JLC's near impossible to match horology and artistry.
As a side note, it is definitely a bit more wearable than the Reverso Triptyque (which is so much heavier)
Here is a quick wrist shot - more to come (when I learn how to take proper photos like the rest of you).
Huge congratulations. You just got an icon, a legend, an historically important watch, a myth, and a sublissime creature. In one word: A Grail, for many of us.
Nico said it all❣️👌🏻🍀🤩 Congrats to one of the most beautiful Masterpieces! Not restricted to JLC!
And yes - please more pics. We take ANY pics of this watch! 👍🏻😉
So many years later - there is simply no other watch like it!
Huge congratulations, you will enjoy this masterpiece for a long time!
Amazing - this was one of my first big loves when it came out.
Has remained so ever since. JLC did some amazing watches in that period.
Huge congratulations and wear in the best of health 😘
Well it’s not bad I suppose 😀
You still owe us some more pictures of your Reverso!
Congratulations for both watches.
All the best,
Jon
BOOM!!!
You Sir, are a very smart man! This watch is a steal at it's going rate and I can't ever imagine getting bored of it. My peronsal GRAIL is the Gyrotourbillon 2. Many say it's huge and fairly unwearable but one day I will wear the unwearable with pride. A hearty congrats on this monumental pickup!!!💪💪💪
