The **Reverso Gyrotourbillon 2** (also called [[Jaeger-LeCoultre Hybris Mechanica|Hybris Mechanica 5]]) is a limited-edition luxury watch by [[Jaeger-LeCoultre]]

===== Introduction =====
Jaeger-LeCoultre introduced their two-axis [[tourbillon]] in the [[2004]] [[Jaeger-LeCoultre Gyrotourbillon 1|Gyrotourbillon 1]], and this was the successor. Introduced in [[2008]], the Reverso Gyrotourbillon 2 was a limited edition of 75 pieces, lavishly decorated and finished in a platinum case. The openwork movement, [[JLC 174]], is visible on both sides of the Reverso case, with hour/minute hands and a subsidiary seconds window on the front and a 24-hour display and [[power reserve indicator]] with 50 hour markings on the rear.

Fitted in a classic [[Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso|Reverso]] case, the Reverso Gyrotourbillon 2 was notable for its cylindrical [[balance spring]] as well as the twin-axis tourbillon. Although patented in [[1782]] by [[Arnold, John|John Arnold]], a cylindrical balance spring had never been miniaturized for use in a wristwatch until this introduction. The shape makes the [[JLC 174|Calibre 174]] more isochronous, with two terminal curves on a [[balance cock]] giving more even motion with each rotation.

Launched for the 175th Birthday of Jaeger-LeCoultre, the Reverso Gyrotourbillon 2 was one of the most remarkable achievements of contemporary Haute Horlogerie. It was awarded the "Complicated Watch Prize" at the [[2008]] [[Grand Prix d' Horlogerie de Genève]]. Today, it is counted by Jaeger-LeCoultre as the fifth entry in their [[Jaeger-LeCoultre Hybris Mechanica|Hybris Mechanica]] line.

The Reverso Gyrotourbillon 2 was priced at about US$350,000 when new. A slimmer successor model, the [[Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Tribute Gyrotourbillon|Reverso Tribute Gyrotourbillon]], was introduced in [[2016]].
