Jacob & Co. Astronomia Tourbillon Baguette Watch

In 2014, Jacob & Co. came out with a very interesting watch with a luxury movement they called the Astronomia Tourbillon (which debuted here). I didn't get a chance to see this in person when they debuted Works, and I'm not sure if the original astronomical tourbillon case style (check the link above) actually delivered, as there's a whole new case design based on these new 2015 Jacob & Co. astronomical tourbillon pictures. The sheer complexity of a movement in a watch requires a lot of tweaking to get it working and years of effort. However, for 2015, the Jacob & Co. Astronomia tourbillon seems to be returning with a new case design and a very "Jacob & Co." form. The version called the Jacob & Co. Astronomia Tourbillon Baguette features a lot of diamonds.

Most of the movement rests on a series of four arms that revolve around the entire dial every 20 minutes. These arms also move to generate other actions, such as holding the dial to indicate the time in the correct direction, and operating the tourbillon. All in all, the whole gear work in the Jacob & Co. Astronomia Tourbillon is almost unbelievable. What's more, while you may love or feel conflicted about what Jacob & Co. makes, you have to make them understand that showmanship is an important part of the luxury replica watches industry.

Compared to the large sapphire crystal bubble dome on the original Astronomia design, this new case for 2015 makes more sense. We're still working on computer renderings, but I believe the smaller sapphire crystal (now divided into a series of windows and a large window above the top) plus the extra metal would allow for a more logical, wearable design. According to the brand, the Jacob & Co. Astronomia tourbillon is 50mm wide and 25mm thick. The case is 18k rose gold and is available with or without diamonds.

Notice the lack of a crown or buttons on the case? The movement is actually set and will be folded via two "bow-tie" crowns on the rear of the case. This movement is certainly the most interesting element of the Jacob & Co. Astronomia Tourbillon, exclusive to the Jacob & Co. JCEM01 movement, with a 48-hour power reserve and a 2.5Hz tourbillon. Surprisingly, the movement is made of only 235 parts – which seems very efficient considering the complexity of the concept.

Technically, it is a three-axis tourbillon because the tourbillon moves around the entire dial every 20 minutes. The other axis is the normal rotation you see from the tourbillon cage, as well as the rotation in its connecting arm. It's on the opposite side of the dial to show the time to help balance the weight. The other two arms have a small hand-painted titanium representing the Earth, while its other arm has a spinning disco ball that makes a full turn every 60 seconds.richard mille rm 25-01 tourbillon adventure

Really, a disco ball? Well, that's what I'm talking about. According to Jacob & Co., this spherical cut diamond uses an exclusive cutting process first introduced by Jacob & Co. to cut a diamond with 288 facets. The round diamond is supposed to represent the moon - which makes me wonder what "nightlife" on your planet would look like if our moon was actually a big disco ball too. While the Jacob & Co. Astronomia Tourbillon movement looks and feels like it offers an astronomical complication, it's really only in concept. Rather than strictly functional, this is truly a sport designed for viewing pleasure - and in that regard, it succeeds.

If the "standard" Jacob & Co. Astronomia Tourbillon isn't enough, you can opt for the Jacob & Co. Astronomia Tourbillon Baguette, which replaces the dial's night/space sky with baguette-cut diamonds. Diamonds are set invisibly on the dial and lugs, with a total of 342 diamonds weighing 16 carats. While I personally don't consider myself a Jacob & Co. Astronomia buying customer, there may be a handful of people who can enjoy this wrist-worn mechanical entertainment, which makes me happy. Once again, Jacob & Co. set out to shock, entertain and delight...that's what I think the Jacob & Co. Astronomia Tourbillon high quality replica watches is all about.

In today's life, perhaps there is no such thing as a watch with such a great difference in value. A watch with very little value, but also a watch worth more than a person's wealth. If Patek Philippe and Rolex watches were the dream of millions around the world.
