Jaeger-LeCoultre released the first Gyrotourbillon watch in 2005. Although many tourbillon watches came around the same time, the Jaeger-LeCoultre watch was the first of its kind. Many prominent watchmakers have worked hard to improve the tourbillon technology to introduce new features such as the flying tourbillon, multi-axis tourbillon, and multiple tourbillons watches. The Jaeger-LeCoultre Gyrotourbillon I and II watches are arguably the most exotic versions in the variety. Its creator, Eric Coudray, received numerous awards and accolades for his masterpiece. The Gyrotourbillon I was followed by another great watch after five years, the Gyrotourbillon II. However, only 75 pieces of the limited edition watches were released into the market each time.

Richard Mille RM 030 Limited Edition watch is a great addition to the highly successful RM010 and RM016 Black Night family. The company is releasing only 25 watches that will be available at a few exclusive showrooms in Europe, the Middle East, Africa and Russia this summer. The Richard Mille RM 030 Limited Edition watch is characterized by the presence of a declutchable rotor. The designer took over four years to develop a motor that declutches automatically. This helps prevent the accumulation of harmful debris in the winding barrel of the watch, especially when the flange releases excessive energy associated with prolonged over winding. The declutchable motor can help improve the chronometric results of the watch. The winding barrel automatically disconnects from the rotor’s winding mechanism the moment the spring is fully wound. It also connects the power reserve indicator to the optimal winding control. This helps maintain optimum torque/power ratio for the ultimate chronometric performance.
