The World of Watchmaking loudly applauded to the introduction of the Gyrotourbillon 1 as it was destined to become the world-first spherical tourrbillon.

Following the amazing success of the Gyrotourbillon I, Jaeger-LeCoultre has created its worthy successor characterized by technically innovative nature : the swivelling case of the Reverso.

This extraordinary watch mechanism overturns longestablished principles, since it represents the first time that a wristwatch houses a cylindershaped balance-spring.


The three-dimensional motion of the spherical tourbillon fascinates observers by the exceptional speed of rotation of its two carriages.

The spherical tourbillon comprises an inner carriage that performs a full rotation in 18.75 seconds, while the outer aluminum carriage completes a more common 60-second rotation.

The distinctive shape of the Reverso case further accentuates the absolute beauty of this unmatched technical innovation .

The watch is available in a strictly limited series of 75 platinum pieces. Via watches.infoniac
