The title sounds like a song for children, and there is something related to it, as the Gyrotourbillon is a bit like a fairy tale, an horological fairy tale, for big children. 

As we are on to post a first review on the Reverso Tribute Gyrotourbillon, which can also be called, in a simpler way, Gyrotourbillon Four, it seems to be interesting to see the previous ones. 

The madness started with the " One ", in 2004:

 
8 Days, Perpetual and Retrograde Calendar, Equation of Time, power reserve indicator, a Tourbillon " gyrotourbilloning " on two axis, this is the first, the milestone, the reference. 

The " Two " came in October 2007. Less complicated than the " One ", with " only " the Gyrotourbillon, the power reserve and the 24 hours indicator, its level of decoration put a milestone in the category. 

 
The " Three " was unveiled in 2013: 

 
It launched the " hammered " decoration of the movement, offered an instantaneous digital minute chronograph, and a day night indicator.

Part of the 2016 collection, The Reverso Tribute Gyrotourbillon, the " 4 ", offers a Gyrotourbillon in a human size. With a different decoration, a day night indicator, and a second time zone. Plus a different decoration. 

 
Quite an interesting theme of collection!  wink

Stay tuned, the Reverso Tribute Gyrotourbillon review will be posted tomorrow.

Best,

Nicolas

The Gyro II is the most fascinating watch ever made, IMO!

It attracts me much more than any two-dozen complications watch, no matter the brand. Thanks for posting, Nicolas! Marcelo
