Unparalleled Luxury: The New Jacob & Co. Bugatti Chiron Tourbillon Watch Limited Edition

Imagine the feeling of Bugatti: precision, beauty, exceptional performance… all inextricably linked to the exhilarating power of the engines driving the world’s most advanced supercars. Launched in April 2020, the Jacob & Co. x Bugatti Chiron Tourbillon watch perfectly blends the core essence of the Bugatti brand, presenting the iconic 16-cylinder Bugatti engine in watch form for the first time. This timepiece showcases the artistry, dedication, and craftsmanship embodied in the Chiron 1. The release of four new limited-edition watches marks the pinnacle of automotive engineering and the ultimate collision of watchmaking artistry. The collaboration between Jacob & Co. and Bugatti continues, with more limited-edition Bugatti Chiron Tourbillon watches to be released.

The four new Chiron Tourbillon watches are exquisitely designed and crafted, perfectly embodying the essence of Bugatti. All models feature a breathtaking movement comprised of 578 components, seamlessly blending engine and watch design to create a stunning timepiece. Modeled after the engine block and scaled down proportionally, the movement is a true testament to the Bugatti 8.0-liter W16 engine. The engine’s dynamic animation can be admired through the expansive sapphire crystal. Furthermore, the watch houses a flying tourbillon movement tilted at 30 degrees. wholesale replica watches

The new Chiron Tourbillon watch utilizes new material choices for an ultimate personalized experience. Its design is inspired by the sleek lines of the Chiron sports car, perfectly complementing this stunning timepiece. The first model is crafted from a single piece of sapphire crystal, featuring a sapphire crystal case back, crown, and pushers, along with a rubber strap and titanium buckle. The second model, a limited edition, features an 18K rose gold case, a special anti-reflective sapphire crystal, an 18K rose gold transparent case back, and a black DLC-coated titanium crown and pushers adorned with the Bugatti logo. This watch features a rubber strap and a black DLC-coated titanium 18K rose gold buckle.

Another limited edition of 52 pieces features an 18K rose gold case set with dazzling white diamonds, an anti-reflective sapphire crystal, an 18K rose gold skeletonized case back, an 18K rose gold crown and pushers set with baguette-cut white diamonds—also engraved with the Bugatti logo—and a rubber strap with an 18K rose gold buckle adorned with white diamonds. Finally, there is a watch with an 18K white gold case set with 391 black and white diamonds (approximately 20 carats), a true epitome of luxury. The 18K white gold skeletonized case back complements the baguette-cut white diamond-set crown and pushers, and is paired with a rubber strap with an 18K white gold buckle adorned with 18 white diamonds (approximately 1.76 carats). replica watches for sale

A Bugatti Experience on Your Wrist – Jacob & Co. x Bugatti Chiron Tourbillon Limited Edition
Pressing the crown on the right side of the watch reveals the iconic Bugatti engine. Just like starting a supercar engine, the watch’s crankshaft (made of solid steel, one of the smallest and most complex components in watchmaking history) begins to turn, and the pistons move up and down accordingly. Their varying angles further enhance the watch’s complexity. A pair of turbochargers on either side of the engine block rotate with the power system, adding to the overall visual appeal.

The movement is secured by four miniature Chiron-style shock absorbers. In effect, the movement floats within the case, and its slight up-and-down movement can be observed. This floating design presented an additional challenge to the watch designers, who had to create and patent a unique, automotive-inspired lateral system to ensure the crown post was not damaged by the movement of the movement within the case.

The crown is located at the bottom of the case. The left crown is used for setting the time, the middle crown for winding the movement and chronograph function, providing a 60-hour power reserve, and pressing the right crown activates the chronograph function. The power reserve for the chronograph and chronograph functions are separate, but both are operated via the winding crown – clockwise rotation winds the movement (60 hours), and counter-clockwise rotation winds the chronograph (approximately three times). The side of the power reserve indicator even features the logo of a universal fuel pump.

As a fresh interpretation of a Bugatti classic, this fashion replica watch faithfully inherits the brand’s design DNA and conveys its rich emotion. In addition to the flying tourbillon adorned with the Jacob & Co. logo, Bugatti’s iconic “EB” logo is subtly placed inside the engine compartment, its “crankshaft” housing 16 pistons, poised for action. The tourbillon’s window design is inspired by the iconic horseshoe grille of Bugatti supercars.

In the world of watchmaking, the Jacob & Co. x Bugatti Chiron Tourbillon watch is the first to perfectly combine supercars with haute horlogerie craftsmanship. https://www.whereguidewatch.com

Porsche Design 1919 Chronotimer x Porsche Winter Driving Experience

zelin0802

When it comes to sports chronographs, these used to be purpose-built timepieces. Now, it’s more of a fashion/style statement than anything else. A few decades ago, however, chronographs were mainly bought by gentlemen with the budget and time to enjoy playing fast cars. Competitiveness has always been a human trait, especially the 50% of people with more testosterone (also known as men). Chronographs allow them to measure time and compare lap times. That’s what I didn’t do when I went to Northern Finland with replica Porsche Design for the Porsche Driving Experience winter event. It’s a report on having fun on snow and ice, covering almost the entire lineup of Porsche cars. I forgot to measure lap times, but I’m sure you’ll understand when you see this video and the photos below.

I think it’s important to remember why we wear watches. And why there are so many changes, not only in design but also in different functions. As I’ve already mentioned, wrist-worn chronographs used to be primarily for those who could afford to play fast. At least in the early 1900s. Okay, doctors use chronographs too, however, their chronographs have a pulsometer scale instead of the tachymeter scale that gentlemen use when they drive fast. In the first half of the 20th century, these chronographs were proper specialized tools.

Porsche Design invited me to a legendary Porsche driving experience in Santa’s backyard (northern Finland) and I couldn’t say no. I plan to do some testing with the Porsche Design 1919 Chronotimer on my wrist, like those aforementioned gentlemen driving their fast cars. With everything in place, trousers, fleece jacket, thermal socks and a Porsche Design 1919 Chronotimer on my wrist, I got into my first car of the day, a Porsche 911 Carrera S.

quit! Pedal metal! Well…of course I was careful at first, but slowly I got the hang of it and worked harder. The experience is nothing short of spectacular on a slippery surface, it’s hard to walk even without coasting, this powerful machine at 420 bph (I’m talking about a Carrera S) finds its speed gracefully and can quite easily deal with. If you think the tires have spikes, I can guarantee that they are not. Normal rubber on snow and ice (well, winter tires) and even most safety features are turned off, while Sport+ mode is turned on!

Our idea was to test/experience the various 911, 718 Cayman, Panamera Turbo, Macan and Cayenne on ice. I was too naive to think I was counting the hours. First, everything is white. The track, everywhere you look except the track, the sky, you see white. So any sense of speed, or even your exact position on the track, is futile. Most corners look the same. Timing laps proved to be very difficult, but most importantly, I was too distracted. Despite the ubiquity of white, the scenery is beautiful… breath taking.

It was an early morning, and despite the short night, I was completely awake when I saw this gorgeous lineup. Like it says good morning and have a great day! This is exactly what I have.

Driving and handling a Porsche isn’t something I do every day (unfortunately), and this new experience distracts me from actually timing the laps. I learned how to drift, or at least I tried to learn it. When we had to go home again, I learned a lot more about Porsche cars, how they handled and which systems needed to be turned off for more fun. Here are some impressions from my two days at the Porsche Driving Experience Winter event in northern Finland…. awesome!

The training program started in mid-January 2018, and while most programs are sold out, there are still a small number of places available.
