JACOB & CO. TWIN TURBO FURIOUS Sapphire Crystal

 Jacob & Co. Twin Turbo Furious Sapphire Crystal

Jacob & Co. created a world first with its decimal minute repeater mechanism housed in a sapphire crystal case.

Building on the brand's reputation for luxury performance, Jacob & Co. launches the world's first decimal repeater watch with a transparent sapphire crystal case. This is not the first minute repeater to feature a transparent sapphire crystal case. This honor was awarded to Speake-Marin's Légèrete, a one-off product produced in 2019. However, the Twin Turbo Furious Sapphire is the first minute repeater to feature a series-produced sapphire crystal case. Please note that this is not just any sapphire crystal case, but a complex case from the Twin Turbo Furious series equipped with dual three-axis rotors. Flywheel and monopusher chronograph. Again, this is no ordinary minute repeater, but a decimal minute repeater, a rarity among timekeeping complications. Limited to six pieces, three high quality cheap watches in the Twin Turbo Furious collection, including a “Bugatti Blue” model, offer a compelling look at the complex mechanisms that drive the complication.

As a master of extreme watches, Jacob Arabo is not intimidated by the "impossible". The more, the merrier seems to be the basic philosophy at Jacob & Co., where the craziest complications and craziest-shaped case combinations are realized. With its impressive complications, the Twin Turbo Furious is not a new product. It was released during the Baselworld 2018, using a black DLC titanium and carbon fiber case. Features: noon time dial, small seconds at 9 o'clock; single-button chronograph, minute counter at 3 o'clock position, central seconds hand; reference time inspired by racing pit plates; decimal minute repeater, striking every 10 minutes; dual three-axis high-speed tourbillon; power reserve indicator at 6 o'clock.

The next step is to encase the hodgepodge of complications into a transparent sapphire crystal case. Inspired by supercars and high-performance cars, the Twin Turbo Furious’s streamlined case widens and rises at the base to accommodate the 3D spectacle of the twin tourbillons. It has a slide on the left side to activate the decimal minute repeater and a crank on the crown to adjust the complication. luxury cheap Watches

Sapphire crystal case
The complex sapphire crystal case of the Twin Turbo Furious posed a huge challenge. The "regular" Twin Turbo Furious's unique five-sided 57mm x 52mm case has 88 components; this sapphire version has 89. The design, production and perfection of the sapphire crystal case took 15 months, which involved growing the sapphire crystal from aluminum oxide and then shaping the case through a combination of high-tech digital machinery and traditional hand polishing. Machining the different geometric planes and angles of the case, including the iconic double bezel, was a complex task, but so was hand-polishing the crystal to achieve its transparency. The only part of the case that isn't made of sapphire crystal is the 18K white (or rose) gold crank at 3 o'clock, used to wind and set the complication. What distinguishes the three watches is the colored bezel made of Neoralithe, a resin material developed in Switzerland. The material is available in red, green or blue and is resistant to UV rays, thermal shock and physical impact. The Bugatti watch has a "Bugatti Blue" Neoralithe chapter ring with the company's logo on the front.

Minute repeater device unveiled
Installing the exotic decimal repeater mechanism (a world first) within the sapphire crystal case was another complex task, and compromises were made in the watch design to accommodate the gongs and hammers while ensuring a high-quality sound. The decimal minute repeater is more intuitive than the traditional minute repeater. Instead of striking the hours, quarter-hours and minutes, it strikes the hours, strikes the hours every ten minutes after the last hour, and then strikes the minutes. A crystal lever on the left side of the case activates the crystal-clear sound of the decimal repeater cathedral gongs. The hammer of the decimal repeater mechanism is located at 12 o'clock. replica watches on sale

Double three-axis tourbillon and monopusher chronograph
The twin tourbillons that regulate the time display and chronograph rotate in space in a series of lightning-fast but controlled movements. Relying on two adjustment mechanisms, the ultra-lightweight cage rotates along three rotation axes at speeds of 24, 48 and 180 seconds. Each triple-axis tourbillon is composed of 104 components and weighs only 1.15 grams.

Again, simple solutions are not the hallmark of Jacob & Co. watches. As you'd expect, this chronograph is monopusher and has a traditional column wheel and horizontal clutch. However, the stopwatch mechanism features an original reference time indicator (in minutes and seconds) that can be set on the crown. The pit board feature is inspired by the timing panels used in racing events and is a simple way to compare two elapsed times. Elapsed seconds greater than the reference time are located in the red portion of the pit plate (+), while seconds less than the reference time are located in the yellow and green portions (-). An opening on the dial just above the double tourbillon indicates the reference time in minutes and seconds, which can be set via the crown (up to 5 minutes and 59 seconds). replica watches swiss

So that you don’t miss any of the action inside this stunning timepiece, the dial is made of dark gray sapphire crystal and partially reveals the 832 components of the hand-wound engine. Hours and minutes are indicated by two-tone skeletonized hands driven by gears connected to a twin three-axis tourbillon. The hour markers corresponding to the central seconds hand, like the hour and minute hands, are made of green, blue or red Neoralithe and treated with Super-Luminova, affixed to the outer track of the dial.

Jacobs Corporation JCFM05
The hand-wound caliber JCFM05 movement is exposed from all sides of the case and deserves to be admired. The movement runs at 21,600vph and produces a power reserve of up to 50 hours. Composed of 832 components, 75 jewels and Haute Horlogerie finishing (hand-beveled and polished bridges and bridges, circular graining and polished screws), the integrated chronograph movement is equipped with a patented double mechanical safety feature that ensures Activates when chiming. replica mens watches
