The **Gyrotourbillon 1** (also called [[Jaeger-LeCoultre Hybris Mechanica|Hybris Mechanica 2]]) is a luxury watch by [[Jaeger-LeCoultre]].

=== Info ===
The model Gyrotourbillon 1 demonstrates the horological excellence of the [[manufacture]] [[Jaeger-LeCoultre]]. The [[tourbillon]] construction presented here as a world premiere through its spatial operation exceeds the conventional 2-dimensional functional design of previous [[tourbillon]]s both cages of the tourbillon revolve around two axes and equalize in each level the impacts of gravity.

In addition, this luxury model offers the advantages of a [[perpetual calendar]] with four [[retrograde]] hands a month hand, a [[leap year]] indicator and two large date hands, each of which is responsible for the first or second half of the month. Another hand, provided with an asterisk, shows the [[equation of time|real solar time]]. The case design was later credited to [[Magali Métrailler]], who had begun at Jaeger-LeCoultre just two years before the debut and was then just 25.

Because of its two [[barrel]]s the watch has the enormous power reserve of [[8 days movement|eight days]]. The [[manual winding]] [[manufacture]] movement [[JLC 177]] has, believe it or not, 117 [[jewels]] and 679 components. Production is limited to 75 pieces in five years.

[[Jaeger-LeCoultre]] won the Technical Innovation and Complication Watch Prize at the [[Grand Prix d'Horlogerie de Genève]] for the Grande Complication Gyrotourbillon I in November, [[2004]].

The Gyrotourbillon 1 remained available for many years, always in limited series. The initial platinum version limited to 75 examples. A final 30 examples in rose gold with an [[skeleton|open-worked]] dial were produced in 2012, marking the end of the model's availability. In [[2017]], a special model in [[platinum]] with 6.7 carats of baguette diamonds around the bezel and aventurine marquetry dial was released at [[SIHH]]. List price for the platinum Gyrotourbillon 1 was €290,000 in 2004.
