It was just about 18 months ago that Jacob & Co began its partnership with Bugatti. This year, the brand celebrated the car that broke the 300-mile-per-hour barrier. The Twin Turbo Furious Bugatti 300+ honors the Bugatti Chiron Super Sport 300+. The watch boasts high-tech materials and mechanics - much like the car. It features two triple-axis tourbillon escapements that are constantly rotating at multiple speeds per axis. It also features a decimal repeater that chimes the time: hours, 10 minutes past the hour and the minute past the 10-minute intervals. A monopusher chronograph allows for timing of laps. The movement consists of a massive 832 parts. Just three pieces will be made.

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.
