Jacob & Co sets a new milestone in its representation of the Earth within the solar system with this reproduction of eight planets on a dial around a majestic sun, formed by a citrine displaying the 288 facets of the Jacob Cut®. The hand-engraved Earth rotates around its axis once every 60 seconds and makes one complete revolution of the dial in 10 minutes, as do the flying tourbillon and the hours and minutes subdial, all three forming an assembly. The hand-wound 447-part JCAM19 caliber is faster than any of the previous movements in the Astronomia collection. By rotating 360° clockwise in 10 minutes while the aventurine base turns counter-clockwise at the same speed, it creates a captivating view of our solar system. The 44.5mm watch is crafted in 18K rose gold.

Jacob Arbo, founder of Jacob & Co, emigrated to the USA in search of a better life but instead ended up making life better for multitudes of people through the creation of reliable and riveting timepieces. After his father gifted Jacob his first watch aged 13, Jacob did not just admire its mechanism and prize it but sought to instill the same happiness that he received from this gift onto others. The result are watches that are filled with ambition, passion and love that live up to Swiss standards of high jewelry making.After three years in the making, Jacob & Co launched the Jean Bugatti in 2022. A masterpiece, the dial of the watch recalls the appearance of the 1930s Type 57 SC Atlantic Bugatti roadster grill, while the complexity of the double-retrograde chronograph, digital jumping counters and two one-minute flying tourbillons build on the intricacies that differentiate the brand. It's captivating Astronomia Sola, featuring a three-dimensional solar system, atomic curves and astrological symbols is similarly stunning, while the Astronomia Art amazingly presents a tentacled time piece with an octopus rippling through its center.
