Stuff of Dream: Tantalum case, Gyrotourbillon, Digital Chronograph.
For the pleasure of the eyes: Jaeger Lecoultre Hybris Artistica Gyrotourbillon III, in Tantalum.
There was another version which was highly desirable, the rose gold meteorite and enamel / aventurine dial, limited to 8 pieces.
This last one, in tantalum or in any other white metal, would have been my absolute favorite!
When I told you that they were stuff of Dream!
Best,
Nicolas
Is this one of pieces
you are looking for yourself? ☺️
These Gyrotourbillons prove which incredible achievements this manufactory is capable of.
Unfortunately there is not enough of this kind made by JLC in the - for us ordinary aficionados - affordable range…
Funny, but the version in rose gold attracts me the most. At least from the photo. Seeing the watch live is a completely different thing.

Why
is this model better than the number II or III for you?
What I find very special: in the month display the J for January and the D for December and in between Arabic numbers.

They all are different. The 1 is special, with is equation of Time, Retrograde Perpetual Calendar and its 8 Days movement. Add Magali's specific design and the look, et voilà. Now, it is less better finished than the others.
I had the pleasure of handling the prototype at the manufacture
It's mesmerizing. I didn't know about the tantalum one, now it's my favorite.
Oh wow
I actually meant the fully built one that sits in their grand complications atelier
I never knew this was cased in Tantalum
A truly extraordinary piece elevated even higher. Thanks for sharing.
From the Hybris Artistica collection, 2014. The chances we see one in real life are as big as winning the lottery. ;)
Very cool - particularly in tantalum
In my ignorance I used to think that tantalum must be light, like titanium. I couldn’t be more wrong!
All the best,
Jon
Tantalum suits this watch
I'd love to be able to spend a couple hours with either version. The level of technical and artistic execution is impressive.
