Jaeger-LeCoultre - Gyrotourbillon 1

When I was first developing my appreciation for mechanical watches, one of the first pieces to enthral me with its fascinatingly complex inner workings was the Gyrotourbillon 1. It was made in several versions - even bedecked with diamonds if that's what it takes to get you interested, though why one would want to look at diamonds instead of the movement is a mystery to me.
