I saw the Reverso version of that on a recent trip to Paris-



Sorry for the crappy pic, but it was almost impossible to get a picture through the glass!
They had an incredible selection in the various windows (including a Leopard Daytona! ) but that was the crowing glory for me!

The reverso one looks amazing.

Bit too fancy for my tastes, but they're remarkable things.

That looks fantastic, as an item of jewellery. I can't see the appeal as a timepiece though.

Not even after watching the video?

Pretty toy - but wouldn't want to wear it as a watch.

Very clever and very interesting, brings together many innovations and in such a classic style.
Well done indeed.

I prefer an instant answer I guess. I like a challenge as much as the next guy, but not in telling the time and being somebody who rotates through a few watches, I doubt it would ever feel 'right'.

Similar, it's a big watch...

I don't follow, it has a minute hand, hour hand and seconds hand just like any other watch.

Incredible movement, another great piece of work by JLC.

Also really liking the general style of the watch, not too sure about the mix of lower and upper case wording and also what appears to be a mix of typeface though [/fussy]

ETA scrub what I said about the wording, I'd take it as it is

I assume lots, but any odea on price?

[blueg33]

I know that JLC Gyrotourbillons are well over £100k IIRC.

I thought the gyro ones were nearer quarter of a million?

Well that's well over £100k

TBH the figure that came to mind (I looked it up last year) was £230k but I thought that was too implausible a price for a watch so said well over £100k

[Ikemi]

It's rumoured to be around the £220,000 mark! A stunning bit of engineering though ... I wouldn't say no!

However, I absolutely love it. I would have it in a heartbeat.
