Jaeger Lecoultre Pocket Watch Duometre Spherotourbillon Hybris Artistica 2014 Collection.
The Spherotourbillon is a superb Watch, a bit cold and understated, but this is, in my opinion a big part of its charm.
It is a flying tourbillon with a cylindrical spiral, which also offers a fly back seconds, and a 2d time zone on 24 hours, with of course, the two power reserves.
How could this Watch gain some extra Madness?
Not that simple!
One way to do is to move the crown to 12 o' clock. This way, the dial shows an original display since the torubillon moves from 9 o' clock to 6 o'clock and provides a nice symmetry and balance to the dial, with the Time located at 12, the Second time zone between 8 and 9, and the seconds between 3 and 4 o clock.
The other way is the use of the materials: White Gold and Blue Enamel for the case and the ring above the crown, enamel Grand Feu for the 3 dials, and this superb white gold dial which is hand engraved.
The leaf shaped heated blue time and second time zone hands contrast with the white baton seconds hands, and power reserve indicators.
Another and last nice detail: The transparent tourbillon bridge, made of sapphire, which you can guess here:
And better see here:
It is 48 mm big, which is not a problem for a Pocket Watch, and it is limited to 3 pieces.
A nice reminder of the Grande Complication Pocket Watch from 1928, in a totally different style, though.

Superb pocket watch
I always admire pocket watches, but did not occur to me it will revolve into this degree. Because many people did not pay more attention to pocket watches. But then JLC passed that and make these beautiful watches. The destiny of these watches for me is inside a safe and look it up just like treasures. Thanks for sharing it my friend Nicolas.

No message body
You are lucky...
Of course when the watch is in your hands, it will look much better and live with the beautiful place 
Looks very impressive!
Pocket watches deserve to be more popular I feel. They have that mysterious old school charm
Only 3 pieces?! Wow that's supremely limited.
Lucky 3 owners indeed!
Cheers

JLC is acting like Independants, with this collection.
I like this fresh air of Madness blowing in their brain.
As for the D Lux 6, bring it with you, I wil show youn some tricks, even if I still have to struggle with it.
Best, my friend.
