Ever since it unveiled its first Astronomia triple-axis tourbillon, Jacob & Co has continuously evolved the series with intriguing planets, stars, animals and more. The brand’s newest Astronomia Tourbillon Regulator, a double-axis tourbillon that becomes a triple through its movement around the dial every 20 minutes, is a true statement of elegance and technology. Crafted in 18K rose gold with a rich blue base plate (back dial) and subsidiary dials, the watch is powered by the exclusive Jacob & Co manual winding JCAM56 caliber consisting of a massive 552 individual parts. The watch offers constant force for incredible isochronism as well as hour and minute hands; a regulator second (meaning the dial for this indication is offset); a one-minute tourbillon cage; and a one- minute frame outlining and turning the base of the watch.

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.
