Looking forward ...

Nicolas, I'm really impressed, both for the watch and the review. But more than that, once again I'm impressed with your performance. Similar questions were asked before but since nobody got a convincing answer, I will not hesitate to ask: How many hours ...

Your posts only get better and more educational my friend. Thanks for a well done report once again! It is my dream to one day own a perpetual calendar watch of a well known brand. Your post just made that decision that much easier for me! Always the best... 

As you could see on my previous posts, matrix

It's quite easy to find a perpetual calendar which will sing to you among all the JLC watches! From the sporty to the elegant, without forgetting the specatcular ones like the Gyro I, the Triptyque, and this one, you really have the embarass of the choice... 

Yes I do see Nicolas...

I love that, Matrix!

describes this watch the best and it is that this PC is « a true piece of Art» although I find the dial hectic and a hard to «read» but I think I need some live examination in Brtonigla after dozen of shots of Travarica + there is no better “brother” to M... 

Bravo Nicolas!

Thanks! Is the watch readable in all conditions? From its design it looks like in certain lighting it might be hard to read. - SJX

Aaah, SJX

I really would like to have the opportunity of seeing these pieces – or, at least, one of them – “in the flesh”. The only problem would be giving it back to the salesperson, or its owner. So, BE CAREFUL!!! Best regards, Marcelo

LOL, Marcelo

Giving it back ( or not ) to the Sales Person is ok... Not giving back to its owner, now that's a problem!!! LOL Marcelo, you're a passionate Bad Boy...LOL Best, my friend. Nicolas PS: If you know someone who owns a Gyro II, maybe we could arrange somethi...
