This is the Gyrotourbillon I, one of the the most complex mechanisms watchmakers ever invented. Jaeger-LeCoultre's patent (Nº:CH694598-CH694599).
Its body is formed by two cages that turn on two different axis and liberate the regulator mechanism of all kinds of gravitational force in any direction, with a constant amplitude of the wheel to offer an exceptional regulation. The gyrotourbillon I is composed of 90 pieces and only weighs 0,33 grams. The marriage between extremely light weight and the powerful speed of rotation gives LeCoultre watches an unsurpassable precision.
