Swiss watchmaker Jacob & Co. has been captivating haute horology enthusiasts for over 30 years now thanks to its much-lauded ability to smoothly encapsulate the stunning tenets of high jewellery design into its groundbreaking, precision-engineered timepieces.
This year, Jacob & Co. chose Baselworld – the world’s biggest watch event – to stage the latest chapter in its illustrious legacy. To begin the proceedings, the watchmaker announced an exciting new partnership with renowned supercar marque, Bugatti. To mark the historic moment, it unveiled the 39-piece limited-edition Twin Turbo Furious Bugatti Edition, replete with two intricate triple-axis tourbillons, a decimal repeater and a racing-themed “fuel” power reserve indicator.
If that weren’t enough, the luxury label has also introduced two all-new models into its much-acclaimed Astronomia collection. First up was the Astronomia Maestro, a beautiful grand complication timepiece that not only incorporates the brand’s acclaimed gravitational triple axis tourbillon movement, but also features a minute repeater with carillon gongs, all set within the iconic space-themed fascia for which the collection is famed.
Last, but certainly not least, is Jacob & Co.’s Astronomia Casino. Here, the central design conceit is the fully-operational roulette wheel that dominates its generous fascia, painstakingly crafted from green, red and black enamel with mahogany inlays. Furthermore, each of these haute horological masterpieces can be personalised to display its fortuitous owner’s lucky number. Limited to just 18 pieces, it’s the perfect timepiece for those chosen few who don’t surrender to chance, but instead control their luck and command their own fortunes.
