A few weeks ago I promised to share an ultimate piece of jewellery timepiece. Here it is! In 2004 Jaeger-LeCoultre launched the most complicated wristwatch they ever produced, the Gyrotourbillon 1. This year the Gyrotourbillon 1 comes in a skeleton versio...
I think we can consider a "Grande et petite sonnerie" to be even higher in the complications hierarchy than the Gyrotourbillon, and in that case the Franck Muller Cal 97 can probably considered as the highest complication jewelled wristwatch ever made (de...
hi gent, I do realy underdstand the art of complication and jewels, but could you precise for wich market, or for wich customer? Is there somebody who's able to purchase this incredible watch? best. O

it for me but if I must choose one diamond studded piece this would be it without shadow of doubt not because it is Gyro but because this is only tolerable bling piece ever I saw thank you for sharing hot news Best Damian
Whe n you know the size of a MMR ( 44 mm ), or a Gyro I ( 43 mm, if I'm correct ), are these watches made for ladies??? And if not, I have a lot of difficulties to imagine the Dressing Code, and the occasions for such watches... I agree that this is a rea...
Hi Nicolas, The watch is not for you anyway. They didn't even bother to show it to you in Geneva! The dress code, well nothing but the finest underwear under a fur mantel! For example of course! Cheers Dje
Must admit, none of these work for me over the plainer versions, which I like a great deal. Clever, and impressive, for sure, but too much and too busy for me. Tim
hi gents, same opinion as you françois-xavier, skeleton version coulf be the best for this gyro number one, but for the others, it lets me in doubt with scenes in dials... best at all. olivier
that a complicated watch of that size and manufacture, with that amount of diamonds, would be an investment piece destined to spend its life in a safe. I cannot conceive of a time nor a place where it would be appropriate to wear. However thank you for th...
I know alot of guys here disagree with the combination, but for me i'V always had an affinity with diamonds, mainly it being my birth stone ( april), and well my mom is a jewelry designer so i have a few rings and such from her. I believe the photos that ...
Personally, I think this Jaeger-LeCoultre High Jewelry Gyrotoubillon Skeleton is a very nice watch. Most watches with impressive movements don't fare well when a large amount of jewels are added, in many watches, I would say excessive diamonds and "bling"...
To me, this is one of those cases where less is more. Less ornate diamonds and less intricacies is ultimately more practical, usable, and movement-focused than anything else. I believe that most PuristS who acquire watches of this caliber don't do so base...
so I could understand arguments about making high end watches and research, but no, sorry no, in terms of taste, it looks like a competition for monsters! definitively no, and I'm not sure that it could be a good point for the corporate image of JLC... ab...
