I was thinking exactly the same when looking at the beautiful dial details 🧐.
Well, that makes it easier to look at the beauty without thinking on whether to buy or not. A bit like walking thru and admiring master pieces at „Le Louvre“?

Some thoughts on the Jaeger Lecoultre Hybris Mechanica 11.
I already reviewed the Jaeger Lecoultre Hybris Mechanica in 2014, when it was unveiled, but I could handle the definitive watch, which will be very soon sent to its owner. I furtively saw it at the SIHH, this year, but I could take more time to appreciate...
🤩
Beautiful picture of a dream watch. I agree that removing the extra text and G-note symbol makes the dial much more attractive. Also think there are few „high end“ watch which are automatic, would just add some VC watch the ultra-thin caliber 1120. Regard...
It is indeed a very speaking watch, I like the architecture of the movement, somehow it reminds me of the old pocket watch repeaters JLC used to make, the tourbillon its not a “dealbreaker” for me, yes, I know the general consensus... but it has that
harmonious calming effect when one glances down the wrist... It’s also plausible at lest for my taste the fact that the tourbillon doesn’t cut in the markets, and it’s size is proportional to the dial. The only downside( for meat lest), is that I will nev...

superb piece
lovely dial texture... i do not mind the tourbillon hole at all... but would think if the tourbillon was only visible from the back it would be an ultimate stealth piece! wow what a cool piece that would be! especially had it been made in a polished titan...
Very impressive
I love thin watches and this is truly amazing with the complications JLC managed to fit in here. The peripheral rotor is also a nice touch and almost makes it look like manual wind. I agree the tourbillon is a bit intrusive but at least there is no date w...
I remember thinking to myself, when it launched...
"Hmmm, VC has the 'thinnest' manual-wind minute repeater in the world at SIHH 2014, with sweep seconds, and JLC quietly comes along with a 'nuclear bomb' and presents a 'thinner', automatic minute repeater WITH a flying tourbillon and flying seconds! If t...
I like it tremendously....
yes, the dial would be nicer/cleaner without the tourbillon hole, but I love tourbillons so I find it forgivable design-wise; and as you emphasize, it is done purposefully in line with the whole historical concept for the Hybris Mechanica line.... The onl...
Extremely fascinating!
A piece of watchmaking art that I didn't even know. I have so much to learn!! The hole in the dial created by the tourbillon doesn't bother me at all. On the contrary, I find it very harmonious together with the openings around the dial. At least when I l...
I would love to know if JLC will put this rotor inside other models!
A very interesting watch, with a good mix of old/new style on the dial, very pure and balanced! I agree with all your points: clean dial & tourbillon at the back. I would love to hear it! How many were made? Thanks for sharing these exclusive shots!! Best...
75 pieces, if my memory serves me well, and yes, there was another one with a peripheral rotor...
