The Chiron series watches launched by Jacob & Co. fake in cooperation with Bugatti have multiple limited edition styles. Here are some of the main limited edition models:

Chiron Tourbillon Regular Limited Edition: This watch is inspired by the 16-cylinder engine on the Bugatti Chiron sports car, and the movement consists of 578 parts. Through the sapphire crystal surface, you can clearly see the operation of 16 crankshafts and pistons, which looks like a real W16 engine.

Chiron Tourbillon Rose Gold Edition: The case is made of 18-karat rose gold, with anti-reflective sapphire crystal, and the back cover is also made of 18-karat rose gold. It is equipped with a black rubber strap, and the strap buckle is made of black DLC titanium and 18k rose gold.

The strap is made of rubber, with an 18-carat white gold buckle, and the buckle is also set with 18 white diamonds.

Chiron Tourbillon Sapphire Crystal: Made of a solid piece of sapphire, with a sapphire crystal caseback, the crown and buttons are also made of sapphire crystal, and with a rubber strap fixed by a titanium buckle.

In addition, there are some limited edition watches related to the Bugatti Chiron. Although they are not directly named after the Chiron series, they are also based on the cooperation between the two parties and are inspired by Bugatti models:

Twin Turbo Furious Bugatti Limited Edition: Made of carbon fiber, rose gold, and diamonds. The watch has complex functions such as a triaxial double tourbillon, a column wheel chronograph, and a decimal minute repeater.

Bugatti 110th Anniversary Global Limited Edition: It was launched to commemorate Bugatti’s 110th anniversary. It uses a special forged carbon case, incorporates the colors of the French flag into the design, and the dial design is avant-garde and bold, highlighting the Bugatti elements. The strap uses a special rubber strap inspired by the iconic rear hood of the Bugatti Chiron, and there is an “EB” logo on the buckle.

In addition, there is the Jacob & Co. Twin Turbo Furious series Bugatti 300 + Limited Edition, which is made of black titanium alloy and matched with a forged carbon case. It adds a bright orange color to echo the design of the Bugatti Chiron 300 + supercar, and also has complex functions.

HYT HASTROID GREEN NEBULA, a watch from space

Give a child a piece of paper and a pencil and have him draw a watch and he will draw a circular case with two thin lines for hands. Davide Cerrato is presumably the exception to the so-called confirmation rule, since with a HYT Hastroid in his hand, it’s hard to believe he drew round watches as a child. As an adult, he did, setting the first Tudors and Montblancs over the years, but when HYT gave him a blank sheet of paper and a pencil, this kid who grew up on bread, Star Wars and superheroes created something almost alien.

The HYT brand may not sound new to watch lovers, but the company and new management are taking a completely different route than in the past, and so are its products. The first model, due out in early 2022, is called the Hastroid Green Nebula, and it already hints that the inspiration isn’t entirely from our planet; a first glance only confirms that conjecture. The watch’s case shape is hard to pin down: the angular, layered and machined titanium and carbon look is reminiscent of a space shuttle, and it smoothly integrates a rubber or Alcantara strap, despite its 48mm diameter , which guarantees the unexpected new wear resistance of HYT cheap watches.

The Hastroid isn’t exactly slim, barely 18mm thick, but it’s certainly wearable, especially considering what it’s packed into. The mechanism itself consists of two modules: the first is a “classic” 4Hz mechanical module that guarantees a power reserve of 72 hours, and the second is a fluid module that represents the HYT brand and the true soul of this watch: impossible not to notice, at least On the Skull dial, so to speak, is a tiny tube filled with an alien green liquid. HYT’s patented way and “signature” to indicate the time. In fact, the watch has a central minute hand, more imposing and striking than in the past, flanked by a second hand and a power reserve indicator; the rest of the stage is at six o’clock. Occupied by two cylindrical “artifacts”, they are connected to microtubes that run around the entire circumference of the mechanism.

HYT HASTROD Green Nebula: A Masterpiece of Chemistry and Precision
This is not the place to discuss chemistry and fluid dynamics (the author doesn’t know about the subject either), but imagine two miniature tanks, one containing a very dense green liquid and the other a clear liquid. Connect them with a tube the thickness of a human hair, put the whole thing in a vacuum, and attach it to the mechanical module so that the split wheel precisely compresses the barrel containing the green liquid into the tube ( push transparent) to precisely indicate the passage of time. complete? Well, now all you have to do is set up a return system that allows – at the 6 o’clock stroke – the two barrels to reverse the flow so that the green liquid returns to its original position, resetting the hour. Ah, this time it must have happened suddenly, not gradually like before.

Completed? Almost, because one of the biggest enemies of fluids – hence our superhero watches – is temperature change: cold makes it cool down, heat makes it liquefy further. These can cause problems for a cheap watch with only a few drops of lube on the pinion and ruby, imagine what happens to the Hastroid, which is a tanker by comparison: HYT solves the problem, we can be concise Briefly referred to as a micro-condenser, it is placed inside a micro-tank and is able to expand or compress at the slightest temperature change, thus guaranteeing a constant pressure inside the micro-tube and the watch always working precisely. The easiest but also the most complicated part is that it can be adjusted simply by turning the crown at 2 o’clock.
