Jaeger LeCoultre Reverso Triptyque and Gyrotourbillon 2

Jaeger LeCoultre Reverso Triptyque

Displaying three dimensions of time on three faces, the Reverso grande complication à triptyque is a world first and a unique expression of the Manufacture's total mastery of both traditional fine-watchmaking tradition and avant-garde technology. A few years ago Jaeger-LeCoultre set itself a challenge: to bring together civil, sidereal and perpetual time in the legendary reversible case. But the Reverso grande complication à triptyque's achievements go beyond this: its manually wound mechanical movement offers some unique subtleties of construction as well as extraordinary horological complications. On its front face, it has a tourbillon endowed with an ellipse isometer escapement, a masterpiece of design and execution whose transmission system does away with the traditional Swiss pallet. Inspired by marine escapements, it offers peerless precision. Its back face features a zodiacal calendar with an astronomical chart, an equation of time and sunrise and sunset times. The watch's third face is remarkable for its unique location: a perpetual calendar in the Reverso carriage. A highly original patented mechanism makes it possible to transmit energy from the movement to the carriage. In total, the timepiece boasts 18 complications, and has six patents pending.

Reverso Gyrotourbillon II

Presented in a decorative expression inspired by the finest Haute Horlogerie achievements, this extraordinary watch mechanism overturns longestablished principles, since it represents the first time that a wristwatch houses a cylindershaped balance-spring. Representing a splendid approach to the quest for absolute precision, the three-dimensional motion of the spherical tourbillon fascinates observers by the exceptional speed of rotation of its two carriages, with the inner one completing a full turn in 18.75 seconds, while the outer one performs a more conventional one-minute turn. Universally acclaimed at the time of its launch barely four years ago, this revolution in the tourbillon world now finds an entirely natural aesthetic expression in the Reverso, with its distinctive shape that further highlights the absolute beauty of this peerless technical accomplishment.

I'm speechless. Now isn't this just a magnificent celebration of the creativity of humankind and the the human brain - to come up with something like this?

So much potential in this world, and yet so much is wasted (war, hate, etc)...

Sorry, that just came into my head...back on topic: stunning!

a work of ART

a masterpiece

I bet if I farted it would clog up the mechanism! Whereas my $12.95 Casio is far more accurate.

you can buy it only in a set with two other watches cost for the three 2.2 millions euros, but with this price Jaeger offers you the strong-box...

@chrisfball12 I would stare all night also, I would be sitting in the corner with a flashlight and just look at it, 24/7

[theownzer]

@andrewshere I completely agree with you, too bad the average person cant afford such amazingness

I love watches...

But these two are sick. They 're killing me. Especially the "gyro".

Art. Pure art. Mona lisa squared.
