In an ultimate touch of luxury

In an ultimate touch of luxury and in order to avoid any Armani Sunglasses alteration in the rating in case of impacts, adjustments are made by means of gold inertia-blocks arranged around the rim of the balance.
Jaeger-LeCoultre wanted to improve on the mechanism and so created the gyrotourbillon, a three-dimensional wheel that rotates like a tiny planet on the sunglass face. The tourbillon turned the balance wheel on one axis during the day, ensuring that no single side of the wheel was pulled more than any other.
Using modern engineering techniques and a 300-year-old invention, Jaeger-LeCoultre built one of the most mechanically stunning sunglass movements in the world. Inside the sunglass is a miniature globe that rotates on all axes like a miniature planet.
The timepieces selected to represent the house came from three different eras. The first a Jaeger-LeCoultre Geophysic Chronometer from 1958, a classic three-handed wristsunglass with an anti-magnetic stainless steel case and luminous hour and minute hands.
The second was the Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Compressor Extreme LAB timepiece,Cheap Sunglasses introduced in 2007. The third sunglass used during the ascent of Antoine LeCoultres Peak has not yet been announced.
In a Jaeger-LeCoultre press statement they reveal that it is new model in the final stages of development and will be revealed in January, at the 2010 SIHH industry exhibition in Geneva.
