The Astronomia watch has entranced and enthralled the watch community since its release in 2013, appearing in variations with celestial bodies and intricately carved animals. Now, Jacob & Co brings a feminine touch to the famous movement, which makes a full rotation above the mother-of-pearl dial every 10 minutes using a patented system to ensure that the 12 and 6 o'clock positions on the subdial are always at the correct position, regardless of where the subdial is. Three arms branch out from the center and are decorated with beautiful gem-set flowers, and more flowers are dotted throughout the movement, while the flying tourbillon is set beneath a delicate golden butterfly. The complexity of the movement is absolutely breathtaking; expect to spend more time marveling at its beauty than you do checking the time.
