replica Jacob & Co. god of time
At the pinnacle of complicated watches, the tourbillon undoubtedly holds a supreme position. As a devoted enthusiast of the tourbillon, Jacob & Co. created the "God of Time" watch, whose tourbillon boasts an astonishing rotation speed of just 4 seconds per revolution, setting a world record. This is 15 times faster than a traditional one-minute tourbillon.
Jacob & Co. connects this unique speed to Cronus, the Greek god of time. This deity, who controls time, embraces the 4-second tourbillon cage as if embracing his most beloved child. His majestic presence imbues the "God of Time" watch with its name, dial, and grand presence.
The guardian of eternal time is presented as a rose gold three-dimensional sculpture, hand-carved and polished, set against a blue aventurine background. The watch is housed in a 44.5mm rose gold case, its shape and engraving inspired by the columns of a Greek temple, making it a truly mythical masterpiece. Under the helm of Jacob Arabo, Jacob & Co. has achieved another remarkable feat. This New York-based high jewelry and watchmaking brand, guided by the philosophy of "inspiration from the impossible," has created a masterpiece of tourbillon speed surpassing any previous model. Unlike 99.5% of tourbillon movements on the market that complete one rotation every 60 seconds, this watch, named "God of Time," breaks the mold, achieving an astonishing speed of one rotation every 4 seconds, and boasting a power reserve sufficient for a weekend's work. Its case, dial, and overall design are inspired by ancient Greek temples, with the Greek god of the same name, Cronus, represented by a colossal statue. It's as if the living Cronus is gazing upon this incredibly fast tourbillon frame, against a backdrop of aventurine dial adorned with twinkling stars, reminiscent of a mythical night. swiss replica watches
A Creation Myth
Jacob & Co. developed the JCAM60 movement from scratch, aiming to break the record for the fastest tourbillon rotation. The tourbillon cage's structure is entirely geared towards reducing energy consumption, achieving speed through extreme lightweighting. The entire cage is primarily made of titanium, weighing only 0.27 grams—a remarkable feat considering its 12mm diameter and constant power output. The variable inertia balance wheel features eight gold weights, and the hairspring employs a Breguet-style double-layer design, making this regulating mechanism a classic high-end creation.
The sapphire crystal upper bridge offers a clear view of the intricate mechanical structure within. Below the cage, aventurine flakes create a starry background, echoing the dial. The crown, located on the left, is dedicated to winding; the right side houses the tourbillon. When worn on the wrist, the rapidly spinning cage peeks out from under the cuff, presenting an ethereal and dynamic effect.
The Gaze of Cronus
The image of Cronus resembles a Greek statue. He lies atop a piece of blue aventurine, a large and sharply defined sculpture occupying most of the dial. The sculpture, based on a piece of 18K rose gold, is crafted using exquisite stamping and shaping techniques. Then, skilled artisans bring him to life. Over several days, they sculpt, polish, and finish, giving Cronus astonishing detail. From his hair, beard, robe, arms, muscles, tendons, and even nails, he exudes a unique vitality and powerful aura. This three-dimensional decoration, 37mm long and only 1.5mm thick at its thickest point, is one of the most breathtaking works of art among high-complication watches.
This watch, named "God of Time," draws its rose gold case design inspiration from the dwelling place of Cronus, just as the Greek gods resided in temples. Therefore, the case design resembles an Ionic column, with a capital composed of two full and elegant volutes. Perfect balance, ideal proportions, and a harmonious unity between the 44.25mm diameter and 18.25mm height create a classic architectural masterpiece. The case sides and crown are decorated with ribbed patterns reminiscent of marble columns. The case back is engraved with the signature and portrait of Jacob Arabo: as the founder and chairman of Jacob & Co., Mr. Jacob Arabo imprinted his personal mark on this timepiece, as the "God of Time" was created to celebrate his sixtieth birthday.luxury replica watches
Divine Food
The energy consumption of a tourbillon depends on its speed and weight. For every doubling of speed, the required power increases fourfold. This tourbillon is 15 times faster than a classic 60-second tourbillon. Moreover, the "God of Time" is not only the fastest of all tourbillons, but it can also run for over 60 hours on a single winding, a seemingly impossible task that the "God of Time" accomplishes with ease.
Powering this unique invention requires enormous energy. This energy is stored in two stacked mainspring barrels. They smoothly drive the tourbillon cage at astonishing speeds. However, the escapement mechanism within the cage cannot withstand such immense force. To protect it, Jacob & Co. created the constant force system, a specialty of the brand. Located inside the tourbillon, a gear before the escape wheel, the constant force system operates at the same frequency (3 Hz) as the escapement mechanism. Circulating six times per second, this constant force device provides just the right amount of energy to drive the balance wheel. Therefore, it acts as a buffer, resisting the enormous force required to drive the tourbillon.
Tourbillon Worship
Jacob & Co. has mastered the art of tourbillon craftsmanship to an unparalleled degree. The brand's product catalog boasts a diverse range of tourbillon movements, encompassing the most comprehensive selection of types the brand has ever mastered. These include single-axis tourbillons, for both flying and non-flying purposes, manually or automatically wound; double-axis and triple-axis tourbillons, usable individually or in pairs; skeletonized, central, or off-center; rotating about their own axis or along a vertical axis; flat or tilted at 30°; with a rotation period of one minute or 30 seconds; and applicable to wristwatches and timepieces.
Jacob & Co. has even created the world's only double-back-to-back central triple-axis flying tourbillon and the only four-axis tourbillon, maintaining a consistently stable power reserve. Now, Jacob & Co. adds a new creation—the fastest tourbillon in history—a truly perfect match. https://www.grand-watch.co
