Jaeger-LeCoultre Gyrotourbillon 1 was introduced to the market in 2004 and it was produced by master watchmaker Eric Coudray and renowned designer Magali Metrailler. The Gyrotourbillon 1 is equipped with Jaeger-LeCoultre calibre 177, it is composed of 679 parts which features the world's first spherical multi-axis tourbillon constructed of two carriages wherein the external cage rotates every 60 seconds whilst the internal one that supports the balance wheel, spiral and escapement revolves almost every 24 seconds, thus completing 2.5 turns in a minute. This exceptional complication permanently compensates for the rate of gravity-related errors in all positions. Furthermore, the tourbillon carriages equipped with 90 individual components and are extremely lightweight only 0.336 grams. With the addition of an 8-Day power reserve, equation of time, and retrograde perpetual calendar, this highly complicated watch is truly a feat of mechanical engineering.
