Jacob&Co Astronomia Casino & Maestro

zelin0802

Giving up your anonymity and discretion doesn’t mean being ostentatious or disrespectful, it just means you’re brave enough.

Jacob&Co embodies this philosophy well, let us know now.

In astronomy, time is in 4 dimensions.
Since its first launch in 2014, it has become a true Jacob&Co icon, attracting the interest of collectors around the world.

The concept is brilliant and expressive: hours and minutes are displayed on the dial, while everything else changes!

Technically, we’re talking about an in-house manual movement, the Casino has a two-axis tourbillon, and the Maestro has a three-axis tourbillon.


In both examples, the case is in rose gold, set with a large number of sapphires, and processed using expensive and advanced techniques to achieve extra-wide domes and ultra-pure transparency.

The two versions don’t have much in common technically. Aesthetically, they share concept, arm movement, painted magnesium sphere and one carat Jacobs cut diamond (288 facets)… Signature of Mr. Arabo.

Astronomia Casino: A successful gamble.
There have been many watches that pay tribute to gambling in history, each with its own innovation.
But when you pair the mechanical roulette with the Astromia and its features, the jackpot is a sure thing.

What’s fascinating about this watch is the incredible amount of detail it hides, so much so that the owner can discover new things at a glance.

Mechanical roulette is not fiction.
The rotation of the plate, as well as that of the ball, works perfectly and is activated by the pusher at 8 o’clock.

The genius behind this watch is useful and enjoyable play: operating the roulette wheel is an effective way to charge the watch. A remarkable idea, introducing an interesting “complication” to create momentum instead of wasting it.

The 47mm case, with its 27.9mm height, is a key aspect of the watch, and the author of this article has a small wrist (under 6.3 inches). Believe it or not, the size of the watch is a negligible aspect if one compares it to the astounding number of complications.

During its rotation, the dial is always perpendicular to the wrist.
As usual, let’s focus on what really matters: the actual use of the timepiece.

In typical Astronomia style, the dial maintains a fixed orientation during its 10-minute rotation around the centre, making it easy to read no matter where it is located.

On the wrist, it’s incredible. It’s almost a shame to wear it and not just stare at it for hours, discovering every detail.

The glow of diamonds and globes contributes to the vividness and synchronization of the drama created by the movement of the arms and the entire mechanism. Dear Jacob, if your goal is to amaze, you have achieved it.

Astronomia Maestro: The 50mm Universe.
The absolute winner of our Basel session (though the choice was nearly impossible) was the Maestro, sublime in every way, the Picasso of horology.

We’re talking about the minute repeater tourbillon, moon phases, date and Astronomia’s classic four-armed rotating mechanism.

If you think that’s enough, you may be misunderstanding what we’re talking about…

Minute Repeater: Yes, but don’t underestimate it.
For the first time in history, we discover that the chime of the minute repeater has a three-dimensional spiral shape, which is breathtaking through the side of the sapphire case.

The hours, quarters and minutes are struck by three pitches. This is much more complicated than the traditional two-pitch mechanism, since the three notes must be very precise (C, D, E).

Using three pitches instead of two, creates a melody that requires accurate pitch picking, not the difficulty of improving harmony.

The end result is stunning, especially for new listeners.

The moon phase display features a unique Jacob-cut diamond, divided into half a sphere and encircling the starry night on its arm. The date revolves around the periphery of the moon phase, moving together with the other 4 parts, and completes a circle in 10 minutes.nice watches shop

A feature of this piece is that the hours and minutes are located on the dial in the middle of the watch, in stark contrast to other Astronomias.

On the fourth arm, we find a hand-painted astronaut floating in a meandering motion around the watch, completing one rotation every 40 seconds.

On the wrist, the effect is the same as that of the astronauts…
It’s impossible not to get lost in the beauty of this new universe that Jacob’s company is projecting on us.

Forming the aventurine dial in the constellation background, not to mention the purity of the tourbillon and sapphires… everything is designed to wow the audience, offering innovation and luxury at the highest level.

Again, 50mm is a lot, but the generous size of the watch is quickly forgiven by looking at one of the infinite details on the dial and thinking of the complexity of things we appreciate.

Jacob&Co timepieces, on the other hand, are masterpieces of engineering, design and innovation, not just complicated watches or striking devices.

What’s truly astonishing about this brand is the amazingly incredible effort to never lose sight of what’s really important: the performance.
From what Marco told us, the whole intent of Jacob&Co is to create timepieces that are stunning to wear and easy to use.

The winding, hour setting and various functions are very easy to set up and operate, not an easy job if we consider the complexity we are in.

We’d really like to know your thoughts on some of Basel’s most complicated and luxurious watches selection replica, and we promise to bring you lots of new articles about this brand full of surprises soon!

Jacob & Co. tunes its Astronomia minute repeater

zelin0802

Because the minute repeater ranks among watchmaking’s elite complications, it’s usually presented in a proper, traditional form with minimal embellishments other than traditional finishes. Jacob & Co. has always been an extrovert among the few minute repeater watchmakers, but it took the opposite approach. Its latest Astronomia watch features a full display of gongs and hammers, as well as a three-axis tourbillon, a hemispherical constellation globe with two half-carat spherical diamonds, a global lacquer globe and a miniature astronaut orbiting the dial. player, locked in a 40-second spin. The busy 3D composition is layered within a curio cabinet-sized case, 50mm wide x 26mm thick, against a backdrop of stacked gears and aventurine rings, hand-painted with stars, planets and the Milky Way.

Jacob & Co.’s three-axis tourbillon Astronomia watch, first launched in 2014. Other pieces in the collection include the Astronomia Spider, Astronomia Casino, Astronomia Gambler, Astronomia Octopus and several Astronomia Solar watches with spherical stones representing planets. It was the first minute repeater in the line, and in typical Jacob & Co. style, it was a blockbuster in its class: a Carillon minute repeater with three gongs and hammers instead of the traditional two . The gongs are stacked vertically rather than next to each other at the case perimeter, which makes them more clearly visible through the sapphire case sides. Carillon chimes, 15 minutes and minutes, using the notes Do, Re and Mi. A safety feature prevents the watch from being wound when striking the time.

Jacob Arabo and Luca Soprana at the Jacob & Co. Astronomia Tourbillon, sparkling little universes on their wrists

Jacob Arabo, founder of Jacob & Co., is known for his jewelry and diamond-encrusted fine jewelry watches. He is also known for being the first to mine the intersection between high luxury and pop culture, and while celebrity has been an adjunct to luxury marketing for as long as there have been celebrities, it was Jacob who really made luxury watches desirable. Cloth has featured pop music celebrities and their fans — as well as movie stars, supermodels and other major media personalities. However, in the past 10 years he has also entered the watch industry in a more technical way, making mechanical timepieces with unusual complications that are really different from what anyone else has made.

Jacob & Co.’s first major mechanical complication was the Quenttin Tourbillon, which set a record for the longest power reserve in a replica tourbillon watches at the time: 31 days. Subsequent complications included the SF24, a 24-time zone watch with a split-flap display for the second time zone, based on the information boards that were once ubiquitous in train stations and airports. However, his most notable release over the past few years has been the Astronomia Tourbillon.

The Astronomia Tourbillon debuted at Baselworld in 2013, and it was, to put it mildly, a sensation. The watch is huge: 50mm in diameter with a domed sapphire crystal 25mm high. Under the sky-like dome is a four-armed vehicle. One arm ends with a three-axis tourbillon, and opposite the tourbillon is the movement (which moves the hour and minute hands) and a skeletonized dial. The other two arms feature an enamelled globe representing the Earth and a 288-faceted 1-carat diamond representing the Moon. The idea is not to make an astronomically accurate representation of the orbits of the Earth or the Moon, but to create a visual display that evokes the same sense of wonder as looking up at the night sky. The background of the whole show is aventurine.

Astronomia Sky

The app to set up the most complicated watch

Can you imagine the sky on your wrist for a second?

Totally crazy, you could say… Jacob Arabo did it, Jacob & Co designed the Astronomia Sky. This is one of the most complicated watches we’ve seen.

The precision and richness of detail in this mechanical watch make this timepiece one of the most complex and fascinating. It measures sidereal time and accurately displays the sky above you at any given location on Earth.

This beautiful replica watch has a mechanical movement, so setting this “jewel” correctly is essential to ensure the accuracy of the displayed data.

Stories Beyond Earth – Jacob & Co. Astronomia Tourbillon Era

zelin0802

For centuries, the tourbillon has been at the forefront of complex craftsmanship in watchmaking. Rotating on a plane, it attracts the attention of countless people, but the tourbillon has never broken through the limit of dimensions. However, the Astronomia celestial body series brought by Jacob & Co. has made a revolutionary breakthrough, making the plane tourbillon three-dimensional, allowing it to rotate and rotate in three directions. This multi-axis tourbillon undoubtedly makes the timepiece more accurate, and it is like a cosmic creature floating on the wrist, which brings infinite shock.

Origin, three-axis tourbillon
Jacob Alebo, founder of Jacob & Co., had no interest in following the example of tourbillons of other brands, so he chose the flying tourbillon as the initial creative starting point and revolutionized the tradition of the watchmaking industry. Launch of the Astronomia watch with an unprecedented gravitational three-axis tourbillon.

The Jacob & Co. Astronomia has four “satellite” arms that make one revolution around the dial every 10 minutes.

The first of the four arms is connected to the three-axis tourbillon, which rotates in 60 seconds on the first axis, two and a half minutes on the second axis, and circles the dial in 10 minutes on the third axis.

The second “satellite” is actually a 288-faceted Jack & Bowie exclusive cut diamond that rotates on its axis in 30 seconds and circles the dial in 10 minutes. The diamonds are cut and shaped by hand, and each diamond has 288 individual facets. The exclusive cut diamonds used in the Astronomia series watch need to guarantee their roundness and weight with the “satellites” attached to the other three arms (time display, three-axis tourbillon, magnesium globe) Keep the weight consistent, if there is any discrepancy, it will be declared scrapped. This exclusive Jack & Bao cut diamond takes two weeks of dedicated effort to create one, absolutely meticulous work.

The third “satellite”, directly opposite the tourbillon, is the time display, which circles the dial every 10 minutes. This was another challenge for the designers, engineers and watchmakers at Jacob & Co. to make the time display sub-dial rotate around the watch and rotate at the same time. If the 12/6 o’clock position is not correct, the It will greatly increase the difficulty of reading time for people. In order to solve this problem, Jake & Bao designed a unique patented differential transmission system to ensure that when the time display disk rotates around the dial, its 12/6 o’clock position is always facing the watch holder.

The fourth “satellite” is a miniature magnesia spray-painted earth, which rotates in 30 seconds and takes 10 minutes to circle the dial.

The three-axis tourbillon rotates non-stop around the dial, so watchmakers need to keep the weight of each tourbillon accurate, otherwise it will affect several other arms of the Astronomia. Although the three-axis tourbillon of the Astronomia series is very complicated to manufacture, it is definitely a visual feast, and it is also one of the many reasons why the Jacob & Co. Jackpot watch is unique in the world of watches.

See-through, unique “transparent” case
The eye-catching rare metal and artificial sapphire crystal case shows everything incisively and vividly, and the crystal case of each replica watch Review is handcrafted. Usually flat man-made sapphire crystals are simple to process and can be manufactured in batches by machines that cannot handle the curved domed sapphire crystals of the Astronomia series. The sapphire crystal cases used by Jacob & Co. typically take several weeks to manufacture, using special equipment and tools to complete.

At the same time, the team of designers and engineers at Jacob & Co. Jake Bao felt that the traditional crown would not match the clean and clear lines of such a transparent case, and that the crown tucked into the movement would prevent the watch from connecting the four ” satellite” arm. Therefore, the crown for time adjustment and winding has been moved to the back of the case, and the watch has two semi-circular crowns that can be lifted, making the winding and time adjustment of the Astronomia Tourbillon watch clear and simple.

The unpretentious custom-made art watch
The basic Astronomia watch is equipped with a bottom dial made of aventurine stone, with four “satellites” rotating above it. Looking like a night sky full of stars, this texture is definitely the best complement to your “solar system on your wrist”. The customizability of the bottom dial has spawned many artistic styles and top luxury playful works for this series.

ASTRONOMIA ART TIGER
Celestial Series Tourbillon Art Watch – Tiger

In the 18K gold and sapphire crystal case of the Celestial Tourbillon, a 3D hand-embossed tiger in white gold comes to life. Hand engraving on 18K gold is a great challenge, but Jacob & Co.’s master carver is beyond imagination. A tiger pattern usually takes months to craft, and even the smallest mistakes can lead to failure. A master artist’s work requires constant concentration to complete.

ASTRONOMIA FLAWLESS DROGAN
Celestial Series Tourbillon Art Watch – Xianglong

The dragon engraved in 18K rose gold embodies the ultimate details, which requires three months of dedication and hard work by the engraver to present such an auspicious dragon in 18K gold, and then requires exquisite polishing and polishing. Painters complete all the details on the scales: the teeth, the tongue and, of course, the finishing touches.

ASTRONOMIA THREE MONKEYS
Celestial Series Tourbillon Art Watch – Three No Apes

The three apes are hand-carved in 18K rose gold, and they cover their eyes, ears and mouth with their hands, representing not seeing, not listening, and not speaking. Inspired by a common Japanese philosophy of life, it reminds people to stay away from right and wrong. Masters of art dedicated to haute complication watchmaking have reproduced these ape statues, handcrafted from 18K rose gold, each with a different look. Despite the intricate and time-consuming carving process, the final product is lifelike and highly symbolic. Lifelike and vivid.

ASTRONOMIA SIPDER
Celestial Series Tourbillon Art Watch – Spider

A great success for the realistic sculpture – the spider’s body rests on four satellites, which needs to be light enough not to interfere with the movement of the movement. The skeleton it carries is made of titanium alloy and platinum wire, while the spider itself is made of duck feathers. The realism presented by this surreal sculpture is enough to make your heart beat.

The ultimate luxury jewelry watch
Jacob & Co. Jack & Bao founder, Mr. Jacob Alebo, has an extraordinary understanding of luxury. In 2001, Jacob & Co. Jack Bao began to transform and create watches, but at the same time, he continued to be active in the field of high jewelry. Precious gems and ingenious inlay art make the brand outstanding in the customization service of gemstone watches, which is also the field that Jake & Bao is good at. All gemstones are carefully selected in terms of quality, volume, color, brightness, etc. Only those gemstones that meet the brand’s strict selection standards and quality control will be used for manual setting.

Jacob & Co. Jackpot Astronomia Tourbillon High Jewelry Watch

So we can see that the advanced watchmaking technology of the Astronomia celestial body series is naturally matched with the gorgeous and eye-catching high-end jewelry craftsmanship.

Jackpot cut diamonds are striking enough on their own. The raw material must be at least 2 carats, and the excess part of the rough stone is removed with a superb cutting process to form a perfectly symmetrical diamond with 288 facets. This is definitely an excellent demonstration of the rich experience and unparalleled professionalism of gem-working technicians.

Bugatti Chiron Tourbillon Editions Limited Edition

zelin0802

There are so many elements that make a Bugatti so fascinating – precision, beauty, performance…everyone could make this list longer. However, it all comes back to the heart of every modern Bugatti: the engine. With the launch of the Jacob & Co. x Bugatti Chiron Tourbillon in April 2020, the special Bugatti feel triggered by the iconic W16 engine is transferred to the watch for the first time. Now, four new editions of this timepiece represent the craftsmanship, dedication and skill that Chiron embodies: the meeting of the top of the automotive industry and the pinnacle of watchmaking.

The four new Chiron Tourbillon watch editions embody Bugatti in every way with the utmost sophistication and extraordinary detailing. All four versions boast a stunning movement made up of 578 individual parts that combine motor and clock designs in surprising ways. Beneath the expansive sapphire crystal is a tiny engine block modeled on the legendary 8,0-liter W16 engine that starts at the touch of a button. The watch is driven by a flying tourbillon tilted 30 degrees.

The new version of the Chiron Tourbillon has been further developed with new materials for the ultimate in personalisation. Inspired by the smooth lines of the Chiron, the overall shape of this stunning timepiece is drawn from its automotive counterparts. The first option consists of a solid sapphire crystal block, sapphire crystal case back and sapphire crystal crown and pushers. This masterpiece is worn on the wrist on a rubber strap with a titanium clasp. The second option – has a case made of 18 karat rose gold with a special anti-reflective sapphire crystal, a visible caseback, also made of 18 karat rose gold, and black DLC The finished crown and pushers feature titanium embossed with the Bugatti logo. This version includes a rubber strap with black DLC titanium and 18 karat rose gold buckle.

18 karat rose gold case
Another limited edition offers an 18-carat rose gold case set with sparkling white diamonds and an anti-reflective sapphire crystal. The visible case back, crown and buttons are made of 18-karat rose gold, which also features white baguette diamonds and a perforated Bugatti logo. The watch is secured by a rubber strap with an 18-carat rose gold buckle set with white diamonds. Featuring an 18-carat white gold case set with 391 black and white diamonds (approximately 20 carats), the Chiron Tourbillon represents the ultimate definition of luxury. The 18-carat white gold case back complements the crown and buttons set with white baguette diamonds. Rubber strap and 18 ct white gold buckle set with 18 white diamonds (approx. 1.76 ct).

The Bugatti experience on your wrist
Once the right crown of the timepiece is pressed, the animation of the legendary Bugatti engine begins. Just as a supercar’s engine kicks off, a “crankshaft” made of solid steel — one of the smallest and most complex single watch parts ever made — spins and the “pistons” pump up and down, mounting them in different ways The angle further adds to the complexity of the movement. Two “turbochargers” on the sides of the engine block spin while the drivetrain is running, adding to the overall spectacle.

The movement is held in four positions by Chiron-style micro shock absorbers. As a result, it floats in the case and the slight up-and-down movement of the mainspring can be observed. This suspension detail posed an additional challenge for watch designers, who had to develop and patent a unique, car-inspired lateral system to ensure that the crown pin would not be damaged by movement in the case. Replica Watches Online

The crown is located on the underside of the case. The time is set by the left crown, the middle crown provides a 60-hour power reserve and animation for winding the movement, while the right crown activates the animation. The power reserve for animation and chronograph is separate, but both wrap around the same crown – clockwise for the movement (60 hours), and counterclockwise for the motor animation (about three activated). The movement’s power reserve even features a petrol pump symbol on the side of the display.

As an interpretation of the Bugatti logo, this timepiece naturally retains the DNA of Bugatti design and also conveys its emotion. In addition to the flying tourbillon bearing the fashion Jacob & Co. logo, the engine compartment is adorned with a subtle EB logo, where the “crankshaft” houses 16 pistons waiting to start. The tourbillon window is modeled after the horseshoe grille, which has always been an integral part of Bugatti supercar design. For the first time in watchmaking, Jacob & Co. x Bugatti Chiron Tourbillon provides a seamless link between supercars and high-quality watchmaking success.

Jacob & Co.’s Bugatti Chiron Tourbillon Orange Sapphire Crystal: An Engine On Your Wrist?

zelin0802

It all started with a concept that Jacob & Co. replica developed in collaboration with Bugatti: to recreate the visceral feel of the famous Bugatti 16-cylinder engine in a watch.

The Bugatti Chiron Tourbillon, which has been in development for almost a year, is the answer. In timepieces, it’s all about honoring the Chiron. Inspired by the smooth lines of the Chiron, the case is designed to replicate the movement or “engine block” of a Bugatti engine mounted behind a large sapphire crystal for all to see.

What is history?
Bugatti and Jacob & Co. announced a multi-year collaboration in 2019 to create one-of-a-kind, never-before-seen timepieces. These timepieces capture the spirit of both organizations while taking watchmaking to new heights.

Two clocks are produced to initiate this performance-driven relationship. The look and spirit of the Bugatti supercar is directly inspired by these watches, which are based on the Twin Turbo Furious and Epic X Chrono. Jacob & Co. and Bugatti launch the Twin Turbo Furious timepiece in 2020, as well as the new collection Bugatti Chiron.

Engine animation
When you press the right-hand crown of the timepiece, the engine comes to life: the crankshaft spins and 16 pistons pump up and down, just like a real internal combustion engine. When the engine is running, two “turbochargers” on the sides of the engine block spin (down from four on the actual Chiron engine), adding to the visual punch.

The Bugatti Chiron Tourbillon achieves an unprecedented achievement: the perfect fusion of engine and watch.

About the tourbillon
The Bugatti Chiron tourbillon uses a 30-degree inclined tourbillon, a first for Jacob & Co. The “flying” component of the tourbillon means that the adjustment mechanism is only supported on one side, making it all the more fascinating. The 30-degree angle makes it easier to appreciate this amazing feat of engineering.

The movement comes to a complete stop in four positions thanks to what appears to be a real Chiron shock. It’s visible inside the case and can be seen moving up and down. Two “exhausts” make up the engine block, completing the engine concept of the design.

The animation and chronograph power reserve are separate, although both are wound via the winding crown, clockwise for the movement and counterclockwise for the engine animation. The universal gas pump logo even sits on the power-reserve indicator at nine o’clock on the side of the gauge for timing.

crown
The crowns are located at the bottom of the case: the left crown sets the time, the middle crown simultaneously winds the movement and animation (60-hour power reserve), and the right crown starts the animation. cheap watches price

The movement’s suspension was a further challenge for the designers, who had to devise (and patent) a unique automotive-style lateral articulation system to prevent damage to the crown posts as the movement rose and fell within the case .

crystal box
One of the pinnacles of fine watchmaking is the case made entirely of coloured sapphire crystal. The Bugatti Chiron Tourbillon sapphire crystal is the result of months of computer-aided design, fabrication and hand polishing. It was a difficult, multi-faceted project that took months to complete. Crafting it with orange sapphire crystal requires several levels of exclusivity and difficulty ladder.

For example, the tonneau-shaped Chiron case consists of multiple geometric surfaces rather than a single one. Then there is the hardness of sapphire. The Mohs hardness is 9. Few materials are harder than diamond with a hardness of 10. Therefore, the case is made with diamond cutting and polishing equipment. Making a case with the same proportions and transparency as the Chiron showcased was expensive and time-consuming, but it was an absolute necessity.

The sapphire crystal was originally a powder that was heated to extremely high temperatures and then grew into a huge round sapphire, the size and shape of a coffee can. This process may take three to fifteen days to complete. This massive sapphire is carved into a piece that will become the shell of the Bugatti Chiron. This piece is hand machined and polished.

The Bugatti Chiron Tourbillon by Jacob & Co. is a world first: a real engine on the wrist!

Jacob & Co. Astronomia Solar Watch Hands-On

zelin0802

Some people might not immediately associate Jacob & Co. with haute horlogerie, but that doesn’t change the fact that the brand makes some of the most outrageous, daring, and expensive watches you can buy today. Just look at their Grand Complication Masterpieces and you’ll find otherworldly watches like the Twin Turbo Twin Triple Axis Tourbillon Minute Repeater and Epic SF24 Flying Tourbillon. However, the mainstay of Jacob & Co.’s Grand Complication Masterpieces has to be the Astronomia, which has since spawned many different versions such as the Clarity & Black watch. The latest one is called Jacob & Co. Astronomia Solar, which we’ll be introducing today.

Again, this isn’t the first time we’ve had the chance to use an Astronomia watch. The last Astronomia watch we had a chance to play with was the Astronomia Clarity & Black, but the new Astronomia Solar is a better value. We’ll discuss the differences later, so let’s start with the case first.

The housing design remains largely unchanged. 18k rose gold is used to form the rough outlines, and the spaces in between are filled with sapphires, allowing the owner to unobstructed views of the movement inside. The Jacob & Co. Astronomia Solar has a case diameter of 44.5mm, which is a bit smaller than other Astronomia watches. The case is 21mm thick, and yes, that’s not a typo. That’s because the case itself has to be quite large to accommodate the fantastic 3D movement, and it has an insanely domed sapphire crystal. So, the Astronomia Solar, like other Astronomia watches, is really chunky. Don’t expect it to slip down your shirt sleeve, rest assured everyone will notice it on your wrist – you already know that, of course.

Water resistance is only 30m, which is understandable for the complexity of the watch. Moving on, one thing some may notice is that there is no visible crown. Well, setting the time and winding is actually done using two foldable 18k rose gold “bows” on the back of the case. Unfortunately, we weren’t able to take a photo of the chassis, but it’s similar to the system you’ve found on some previous Astronomia iterations. Of course, one will be drawn to the whimsical and refined world within the dial. Jacob & Co. ASTRONOMIA SOLAR BITCOIN Tourbillon AS310.21.AB.AA.A

Like other Astronomia watches, the movement of the Jacob & Co. Astronomia Solar is exposed on the dial for all to see. There’s a lot to see and a lot to move. First, the movement actually consists of three separate arms; one arm leads to the sub-dial that displays the time; the other leads to the flying tourbillon; and finally, the third arm leads to the earth.

Although eclipsed, the time is remarkably legible, and the blue hour and minute hands are quite large, contrasting with the skeletonized sub-dials in 18k rose gold. The flying tourbillon features the Jacob & Co. logo on the tourbillon bridge, which actually rotates on two axes. Yes, this is not an ordinary tourbillon, it is a dual-axis tourbillon. Horizontally, it rotates every 60 seconds. In the vertical direction, it rotates every 10 minutes.

Finally, the globe, made of rose gold and blue lacquer, rotates on its own axis every 60 seconds. It also revolves around the dial every 10 minutes, as the entire structure, or the movement itself, rotates clockwise every 10 minutes. But that’s not all, as the aventurine base, decorated like the night sky, rotates counter-clockwise every 10 minutes.

With Astronomia Solar, Jacob & Co. wanted to create a model of our solar system in a review fake watches. Thus, in the middle of the dial is a 1.5-carat Jacobite-cut rhubarb, representing the sun. Jacob & Co. also uses amethyst, garnet and three other gemstones in smoky quartz to represent other planets. These planets all rotate with the movement, rotating the dial every 10 minutes. The end result of all these spinning elements is stunning, it looks like you have a mini solar system spinning on your wrist.

The movement that makes it all happen is the in-house JCAM19 movement. Consisting of 444 parts, this movement is unique because it is mainly made of titanium. Since the mainspring has to drive so many rotating parts, titanium is used to reduce the load on the mainspring. The tourbillon beats at 4Hz and the JCAM19 has a power reserve of 48 hours. It’s also flawless, with sandblasted and beveled bridges, rounded textures on the gear train components, and polished countersinks and screws.

In terms of visual appeal and being a statement piece, the Astronomia Solar watch has few peers. On the wrist, the watch screams “Look at me!” Of course, this watch offers a lot to see and appreciate. Granted, that’s a bit overkill, and purists will argue that the watch serves no practical purpose. For example, the positions of the planets are not accurate, unlike Van Cleef & Arpels’ Midnight Planetarium watch, but compared to the Midnight Planetarium, the Astronomia Solar‘s fast-spinning dual-axis tourbillon and its dial, its constantly changing position and movement. For a fun watch that lets those around you instantly know your worth, I can think of no better watch for the job than the Jacob & Co. Astronomia Solar watch.

Jacob & Co. Astronomia Flawless Imperial Dragon

zelin0802

The ability to combine high-end watchmaking with other types of craftsmanship, be it inlay, engraving, hand-painting, music box making or enamel art, is the hallmark of the famous American brand luxury Jacob & Co. Continuing this tradition, the company has added an incredible novelty to its watch collection – the Astronomia Flawless Imperial Dragon model.

In this high-end watch, the unusual Astronomia mechanism is entwined with a flexible dragon pattern hand-coloured and hand-engraved in 18-karat rose gold. A miniature sculpture of a dragon consists of four parts (head, body, tail, and water surrounding the dragon), which must be connected by invisible seams. In view of the fact that the shape of the beast is made of gold, it is very heavy, and the screws connecting the various parts of the dragon are also very small, and the task is arduous. Not to mention that watchmakers need to be very careful not to damage the doll during assembly and bring it safely to the final stage, where the designers hand perfect the smallest details: scales, teeth, tongue and eyes.

Since the introduction of the Astronomia series in 2014, a mandatory attribute of this line of models has included a massive sapphire glass case. Thanks to the transparency of the case, the biaxial tourbillon mechanism can be seen from different sides in its full glory. The complex concept of the monolithic case design creates the illusion that the complications are floating in the air under the sapphire dome.

Replacing the single metal part used in previous models of the series with sapphire glass elements helps to achieve this effect. In particular, we’re talking about case rings and lugs. All in all, the production of the “Mythical” case (50 x 25.45 mm) took over 1000 hours!

Inside this proud representative of the top Jacob & Co. timepieces, there is a mechanism with a hand-wound movement and a 60-hour power reserve that, in addition to the display of the hours and minutes, also supports the operation of the biaxial tourbillon . The rotational speed of the latter is 60 seconds on one axis and 2.5 minutes on the second axis. In this model, the famous manufacturer has retained the concept of a four-axis turntable module, with all functional and purely decorative elements fixed at its ends. In addition to the sub-dial and tourbillon cage, a 1-carat Jacob Cut® diamond and a lacquered magnesium alloy ball symbolizing the earth can be seen below the dragon’s body. Both elements rotate about their axes at two revolutions per minute.

Released in a single copy, the one-of-a-kind chronograph Astronomia perfectly embodies Jacob & Co.’s motto – “Inspired by the Impossible”.

Jacob & Co. is one of the few reliable fake men watches brands that regularly amazes customers with their incredibly beautiful looks.

Jacob & Co. Twin Turbo Furious Rose Gold: Sheer Sophistication

zelin0802

As for the impressive world of watchmaking, few brands are more effective than Jacob & Co, which was founded in New York in 1986 as a small jewelry stand. By 2002, the brand Jacob & Co. was really just getting into the real watch business.

After being impressed with the Astronomia Solar and Epic SF24 watches, Jacob & Co. went on to present one of the company’s most complicated and bizarre watches: the Twin Turbo Furious. The name reveals a strange “twin” mechanism, moving at breakneck speed, encapsulated in a limited situation. Specifically, the Twin Turbo Furious features a pair of 3-axis tourbillon cages, a decimal repeater mechanism (which we’ll explain later), a monopusher chronograph, and a unique, never-before-seen Pit Board mechanism.

Over the years, many versions of the Twin Turbo Furious watch have been released in different striking colors and materials. After all, if you have to say a pure and classic Twin Turbo Furious, you have to mention the version with a rose gold case interwoven with carbon fiber, which is limited to 18 pieces in the world: Jacob & Co. Twin Turbo Furious rose gold.

The Twin Turbo Furious is the follow-up to the Twin Turbo Twin Triple Axis Tourbillon Minute Repeater. As such, it will inherit important features from its predecessor. The Twin Turbo Furious case is one of the most complex in the industry, with straight lines and no shortage of curves. Especially the sapphire mirror looks like a trapezoid, but is curved and expanded from 6 o’clock to 12 o’clock.

The Twin Turbo Furious is an unforgettable watch that cannot be hidden behind a sleeve due to its sheer size. The watch is 57mm long, with a distance of 52mm between the two lugs and a thickness of 17mm. In your hand, the Twin Turbo Furious will certainly overshadow any other accessory, that’s for sure.

The strangest feature of the Jacob & Co. case structure. Twin Turbo Furious needs to call the name of the crown and accompanying crank right away. The crank can be removed from the case and its function makes winding the movement easier. Next to it is the trigger for the repeater function. The Jacobs Company calls it a decimal minute repeater to distinguish it from the traditional minute repeater. exact replica watches

When activated, the Jacob & Co. Twin Turbo Furious Rose Gold will sound to indicate the current time, including the alarm number, tens of minutes, and finally odd seconds. For example, at 12:34, the clock strikes the first 12, the next 3 hours, and the last 4 hours. This allows instant time display without having to look at the Jacob & Co watch face. Twin Turbo Furious Rose Gold is in the dark, although this feature isn’t really useful either, as there are a lot of smart timer tools out there these days.

At first glance, the dial beneath the Jacob & Co. sapphire crystal can be confusing. Twin Turbo Furious Rose Gold is a symphony of numbers, colors and hands. The main dial, located above, is a slightly translucent black smoked sapphire with the Jacob & Co logo. On the edge of the dial is a very fine white Super-LumiNova luminous chronograph 60-second counter. Additionally, users will notice a count ring displayed as the name of the Pit Board.

Simply put, the Pit Board mechanism refers to the time difference between two chronographs. Combined with the chrono function of the red central seconds hand and the chronograph minute ring at 3 o’clock, the user can see how many seconds are ahead or behind the reference time. The user will use the crown itself to set the comparison time up to 5 minutes 59 seconds, indicated by a window at 6 o’clock (still on the main dial). discount replica watches

For the rest of the dial, Jacob & Co. gives way to the tourbillon, a mechanism revered in watchmaking. But in the machine Jacob & Co. Twin Turbo Furious rose gold, the complexity is doubled and tripled. The manufacturer arranges up to two tourbillon cages on the lower half of the watch. Each tourbillon cage rotates very fast, which explains why this watch is called Twin Turbo Furious.

In the first axis, the tourbillon cage rotates in 24 seconds, in the second, the tourbillon rotates in 8 seconds, and the third completes in 30 hours. At the bottom is a small but very useful mechanical watch power reserve that indicates whether it’s time to charge the internal movement.

Beneath the impressive main performance above is a beating heart called the Jacob & Co JCFM05. Flip the bottom of the Twin Turbo Furious watch upwards and the JCFM05 movement will reveal a beautifully handled and impressively small angle. The main frame plates and bridges are hand polished. Many parts are also evenly covered with black. The movement has a total of 75 jewels.

Without a doubt, the Jacob & Co. Twin Turbo Furious Rose Gold is one of those watches that appeals and stands out. Bold style and hidden craftsmanship are a perfect match for the radical form of this intricate machine. But often things are too different, and it is difficult for “monsters” to conquer 100% of the crowd. The combination of the three elements of the decimal minute repeater, the triple-axis double tourbillon cage, the monopusher chronograph and the Pit plate ensures that the Jacob & Co. Twin Turbo Furious is the first and only timepiece.

Jacob & Co. Astronomia Clarity & Black Watch Hands-On Japanese Movement Replica

Surprise or not, the Astronomia watch collection was a huge success for Jacob & Co., as watchmakers, their main goal was to wow luxury consumers who thought they had seen it all. There are currently six editions of the “spacey” Astronomia watch on the Jacob & Co. website, some of which are “not listed”, and some new editions will be launched at Baselworld 2017. Now, when I want to go back to Baselworld 2016, I started playing with these two Astronomia watches, the Jacob & Co. Astronomia Black and the Jacob & Co. Astronomia Clarity Baguette. Practical as I am, I have to admit that playing with watches over $500,000 rarely goes out of style, especially when Mr. Jacob Arabo has anything to do with them. I love these new Jacob & Co..

At Baselworld 2016, Jacob & Co. Astronomia watches launched no less than three new products. We got our last hands-on with the Jacob & Co. Astronomia Sky, which launched with a smaller case and more complications. The “most affordable” of the new Astronomia watches at the time was actually the Astronomia Black, which offered a darker, space-like look in a black DLC-coated 18 ct white gold case.

What the jeweler, Mr. Jacob, implicitly understands, is the art of performance in the display of luxury watches. He knew that if you wanted something conservative, you’d get a Patek Philippe or A. Lange & Sohne. He’s not trying (at all) to compete with such a brand. He is tailoring products for those who wish to enjoy their love of ambitious mechanical creations in an open and fresh way. That’s why Jacob & Co. manufactures watches and jewelry for clients who prefer bolder visuals to elevate their taste, status and aesthetic confidence. It would be wrong to judge whether this is good or bad because it is just a matter of taste.

As someone who can’t afford such a luxury toy, I don’t know what I’m going to do as a consumer. However, as a watch critic, I appreciate the novel concepts and technical execution in the Jacob & Co. Astronomia watch collection. Few modern watches, well-crafted and conceived, are as bold and elegant as the astronomical tourbillon.

The concept of the movement itself isn’t really an astronomical complication – it means that despite ostensibly showing celestial bodies, the mechanism’s design isn’t meant to actually track the actual movement of the various planetary bodies and their relationship to one another. There are other watches (like this Geo.Graham Orrery Tourbillon Astronomical Watch), for those who own it – if the planetarium complication needs to be adjusted, if the movement isn’t damaged for a few days.

The Jacob & Co. Astronomia Black and Astronomia Clarity (both covered in this article) have similar but slightly different movements, but they act exactly the same. The Jacob & Co. Astronomia Black is equipped with the JCAM10 movement, while the Clarity is equipped with the JCAM12 movement. Made of 365 components, these hand-wound movements operate at a frequency of 3 Hz and have a power reserve of 60 hours. The movement is adjusted and wound via a folding crown at the rear of the case.

Most of the movement is made of titanium and treated with a range of finishes. The movement is divided into four arms, which are set on a pivot point and move continuously around the dial, making a full revolution every 20 minutes. On the arm there is an hour and minute dial (it stays upright at all times so you can easily read the time), opposite it is an adjustment system based on a multi-axis tourbillon, and then a small but beautiful representation of the earth (rotating every 24 hours) once) as opposed to a 288-faceted “Jacob-cut” spherical diamond that rotates fully once per minute. I like to refer to the latter element as the “Jacob & Co. Disco Ball”.

The whole movement is about the brilliance of vision and the movement of animation. The interesting thing about Jacob & Co. Astronomia watches is that they are just as fun and enticing for toddlers as they are an experienced watchmaker. This is a pleasing timepiece and movement. If you’re the owner of it, pray you don’t drop it on the floor.

One of Jacob Arabo’s dreams was to make an Astronomia version with a full sapphire crystal case. Currently, most of the Jacob & Co. Astronomia Tourbillon’s 50mm wide case is sapphire crystal, with the rest being various gold alloys. In 2017, Jacob & Co. successfully produced a full sapphire crystal version of the Astronomia full sapphire crystal. I’ve seen it, but haven’t taken a picture yet. Even with the gold skeletonized case, the structure features a series of sapphire crystal windows in addition to the large domed top. Jacob & Co. Astronomia Clarity has added a sapphire crystal for the caseback, the second clearest astronomical model around.

This special edition of the Jacob & Co. Astronomia Clarity is the Clarity Baguette, which features 80 baguette-cut diamonds in the lugs. This is a nice addition to a stone of about 6.1 carats.

It’s perfectly logical to imagine that these 25.45mm thick watches would be uncomfortable to wear. It’s unavoidable that the 50mm-wide shells are only half as thick, but it would be inaccurate to call them uncomfortable. Despite their avant-garde qualities, I find that most of even the strangest Jacob & Co. watches are designed to be very comfortable on the wrist, wrap ergonomically around the wrist, and provide a perfect fit with the strap firm fit. Thanks to a healthy AR coating on both sides of the sapphire crystal, a very clear and non-glaring view can be seen inside the bubble case. If Mr. Arabo made up his mind, this would be one hell of a dive watch… Currently, the Jacob & Co. Astronomia Tourbillon is water-resistant to just 30 meters.

When the occasion calls for extravagance and you don’t hesitate to show it off, something like the Jacob & Co. Astronomia Tourbillon is really suitable. Essentially, this represents places and events where the super-rich gather — unafraid to show off their toys or be criticized for their extravagant decadence. At least, if you find yourself in such a situation and happen to be someone who appreciates the art of ebullient mechanical wrists, the Jacob & Co. Astronomia is a very pleasant choice. Fake watches

This means that when a part of an hour is indicated, the bell rings for 10-minute segments instead of 15-minute segments. This should help the moment repeater to be easier to read. At least, that’s the way of thinking. The hand-finished mechanical movement contrasts with a very modern instance and dial layout that clearly feels “inspired by the racing world”. The reddish flange ring and modern font for the hour numerals aren’t things you’d expect to find on a fancy watch. Having said that, I think there are enough complication watches that follow very classic design philosophies, so it would be nice to see more watches using such complication movements that are more visually modern.

As far as I am concerned, the Twin Turbo Twin Triple Axis Tourbillon Minute Repeater helps to complete the current market. The case of Jacob & Co. It’s made from grade 5 titanium and carbon fiber, and it appears to have textured sections of vulcanized rubber on the sides of this case. The crown, which is used to wind the movement or set the time, folds up like a crank. Unfold it to end the movement, then pull it out a notch to place the time according to any other movement. The case is water resistant to 30 meters, which is no surprise. Too much case material and the chimes of the minute repeater can become too dull. Jacob & Co. tends to produce various versions of its novelty timepieces in a series of limited-edition collections. Black and red accented titanium version of this luxury Jacob & Co.
