Jacob & Co. ASTRONOMIA TOURBILLON

Jacob & Co. Astronomia Tourbillon Typhoon is incredibly complex

The full force of a strong typhoon accelerated the movement of Astronomia Tourbillon.

Jacob & Co. is a force to be reckoned with in watchmaking. Featuring some of the most extraordinary, luxurious and unconventional pieces on the market, Jacob & Co. watches are visually and mechanically stunning. At Jacob & Co., nothing is far-fetched and spectacle is guaranteed. If you thought the Astronomia Tourbillon was a time miracle in motion, wait until you see the Astronomia Typhoon blasting and speeding up the action on board. The central carousel and its four satellite arms complete four revolutions in 16 seconds with on-demand animation. Let's take a closer look at this dizzying replica swiss watches.

unmatched showmanship
Jacob Arabo is known for his keen observation skills. A natural performer with a jewelry background, the watchmaking arm of his company is known for his ebullient, unconventional, over-the-top watches. Jacob Arabo's models, studded from head to toe with precious stones and bearing names like Millionaire and Caviar Tourbillon, mingled with his VIP clients. His watches aren't for the demure or faint of heart; they're watches for someone who likes to bask in the spotlight.

No matter what you think of Jacob & Co.'s aesthetic, there's no denying the dizzying technicality of these creations. This year alone, four Jacob & Co. watches have been shortlisted for the Grand Prix de Genève. Jacob & Co. is a unique and fearless force in the market, ready to push the limits of complications further with each new creation. For that reason alone, Jacob Arabo has to be applauded. You may not like luxury or price, but the grit and determination to prove that watchmaking can be vibrant has resulted in some of the most fantastic replica mens watch on the market.

The Astronomia Tourbillon was launched in 2014. With its dynamic 3-D movement and vertically mounted tourbillon, the Astronomia is the epitome of fascination with four rotating satellite arms. While background scenery and decorative capstones may vary, standard features include a three-axis rotating vertical tourbillon, a 1-carat Grande Jacob diamond that rotates once every 60 seconds, and a painted globe representing Earth's 60-second rotation seconds, then dial the hours and minutes. We've covered a lot of Astronomia models here at MONOCHROME, including the first Astronomia Tourbillon from 2014, the incredible Astronomia Tourbillon Clarity with an octopus on board, the artistic Astronomia Phoenix featuring a miniature gold sculpture of a phoenix with a fully playable The Astronomia Casino, which operates the roulette wheel, and the "sporty" Astronomia Everest, designed for Swedish explorer Johan Ernst Nilson's Himalayan(!) expeditions.

break the speed limit
In addition to the different background scenery of the Astronomia Tourbillon, Jacob & Co. luxury replica watches also played with different rotation speeds. In 2017, the satellite arm spins at accelerated speed for 10 minutes, and the globe and diamond rotate every 30 seconds. Earlier this year, the brand launched the Astronomia Five Minute, a satellite arm that spins in five minutes and a globe and diamond in 15 seconds. Not satisfied with this speed, Jacob & Co. further increased the speed limit of Astronomia Typhoon. Now, the four satellite arms can make one revolution every four seconds on demand. The typhoon function is activated via a gear at 9 o'clock, and the central structure can complete four full revolutions in 16 seconds. By separating the movement from the satellites, the Typhoon function allows them to spin freely.

The most amazing aspect of the Typhoon's functionality is not only the increased speed, but the entire central unit is returned to the exact starting point and the timing functions are unaffected. The key to the rapid rotation is to separate the four satellite arms from the 617-piece movement, ensuring that they are independent of the chronograph movement. The tourbillon and time display detach from the base movement as it spins, and reconnect when it stops spinning without interfering with timekeeping. It features Jacob & Co's. It took the watchmakers more than a year to accomplish this impressive technical feat.

galaxy scenery
Like other Astronomia Tourbillon models, the large 50mm case is flanked by four sapphire glass windows, allowing for spectacular views from different angles. The supporting structure of the case is made of 18k rose gold. Combined with the highly domed sapphire crystal above the dial, the watch measures 25mm at its thickest point. It's really thick, but with all the action on the deck, you wouldn't want it any other way.cheap replica watches

The base dial of the watch is made of aventurine and hand-painted with a speckled Milky Way pattern. It is set with seven (static) cabochon-cut planets, made of semi-precious stones: white granite for Mercury; rhodonite for Venus; red jasper for Mars; petite for Jupiter; tiger eye for Saturn; blue calcite for Uranus; Lapis represents Neptune.

Tri-Axis Tourbillon and Time Subdials
The power module with its four satellite arms is equipped with the iconic three-axis vertically mounted tourbillon on which the Astronomia Tourbillon's name and prestige are based. The skeletonized frame means you can glimpse the balance wheel, hairspring and escape wheel as it makes a triple rotation: the first axis completes a revolution every 60 seconds, the second rotates every 2.5 minutes, and the third slows down the rotation to 10 minutes.

Opposite the tourbillon are skeletonized hour and minute sub-dials. Driven by a differential differential system that holds the dial in an upright position, you can see four black-lacquered hand-engraved Roman numerals and blued-steel hands at XII, III, VI and IX.replica Grand Seiko Watches

Jacobs Cut Diamond and Magnesium Globes
The impressive diamond at the tip of one of the four rotating arms is a Jacobs-cut diamond that can be rotated in just 30 seconds. As you know, Jacob & Co. also makes gorgeous high jewelry timepieces, and cutting gemstones is second nature to Jacob Arabo. Jacob cut gemstones have 288 individual hand-cut facets that must be perfectly round and symmetrical. It takes a professional gem cutter at least two weeks to cut a diamond—more than half of the rough diamond is cut—and create the individual facets. No inclusions are allowed inside the diamond, and the diamond must be exactly the same weight as the other three moons.

On the other end of the diamond is a blue globe representing Earth. It is made of blue-lacquered magnesium, with continents in platinum, and it rotates once every 30 seconds. The cherry on top of this remarkable mechanical carousel is a spectacular 2-carat yellow sapphire.

To complete the package, the replica watch for sale is paired with a blue alligator leather strap and an 18k rose gold deployant clasp.

Bottom cover
The back of the Astronomia Tourbillon Typhoon features the classic flip-up key on the left for setting the time. Unlike other Astronomia models, the movement is not wound with a flip-up key, but with a wheel in the case back that also activates the Typhoon function. The hand-wound movement (JCAM35) composed of 617 parts is regulated by a three-axis tourbillon. It beats at 21,600vph and offers a 60-hour power reserve.

thoughts
It’s an incredibly complex watch with enough drama on the dial to keep spectators entertained in the stadium. As with all Jacob & Co. watches, it's a ostentatious display of technology and aesthetics, but I have to admit, it's a lot of fun! I love the galaxy theme and will probably never get tired of activating the typhoon function and watching everything speed up on the dial, but that will have to wait until my next reincarnation as Jeff Bezos.Patek Philippe Nautilus replica
