Hands-on: Jacob & Co. Astronomy Sky
The Astronomia series tourbillon is Jacob & Co's unique way of creating astronomical complications. Generally, they are not intended to represent the actual astronomical cycle with a high degree of accuracy (currently the most complicated example of a watch is probably the Celestia by Vacheron Constantin). Instead, they are a kinetic sculpture of the wrist, based on a four-armed carrier system that supports various additional displays or representations of celestial bodies.
Astronomia watches also feature a very thick case and high domed crystals, emphasizing the three-dimensionality of the carrier structure (as well as providing a true celestial vision). While we say that, in general, the precise astronomical period is not Jacob & Co. is after these watches, in the case of the astronomical sky, it is a very precise indication of sidereal time, as well as stellar elevation.
The entire carrier system rotates around the dial every 20 minutes. At the end of each arm is a dial showing the time, moving clockwise; a stylized rocket ship running stopwatch that rotates on its own axis once every minute; a dual-axis tourbillon (plus the center rotation point of the carrying system) , actually a three-axis tourbillon) and a rotating globe cut from orange sapphire.

The dial showing the time is fixed to the differential system, so no matter where it is mounted, it is always facing up. Just behind it, you can see the central globe, which rotates within a tinted sapphire hemisphere (the globe is hand-carved titanium and turns every 24 hours).
The tourbillon rotates around its innermost axis every 60 seconds and around its outer axis every 5 minutes (3 times per hour, of course, around the inside of the watch).
Jacob & Co. Astronomia Clarity & Black Watch Hands-On
Surprise or not, the Astronomia watch collection is a big hit for Jacob & Co. , as watchmakers, their main goal is to wow luxury consumers who think they are already well-informed. 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. I love these new Jacob & Co. Astronomia Tourbillon watches so much that we included them in our top 10 existing watch updates for Baselworld 2016.Replica Maurice Lacroix watches
At Baselworld 2016, Jacob & Co. Astronomia watches launched no less than three new products. The last time we got our hands on the Jacob & Co. Astronomia Sky, it launched a smaller case with 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 enhance 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.Replica luxury watches
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 (for example, this Geo.Graham Orrery Tourbillon Astronomical Watch), and for those who own it - if the planetarium complication needs to be adjusted, if the movement isn't hurt 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".Replica Chopard watches
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.replica franck muller watches
This special edition of the Jacob & Co. Astronomia Clarity is the Clarity Baguette, which features 80 baguette-cut diamonds in the lugs.
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 comfortable on the wrist, ergonomically wrap around your wrist, and provide the same Secure fit of the strap. 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 only water-resistant to 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 appreciate the art of ebullient mechanical wrists, Jacob & Co. Astronomia is a very pleasant choice.Online replica watches
