MAESTRO WORLDTIME
The Jacob & Co. Astronomia Maestro Worldtime expands the Astronomia universe with an elaborate and rare minute repeater carillon chiming complication and a new Worldtime complication. It is one of the most complex versions of the Astronomia iterations ever created.
At its center, as with all versions of the Astronomia, is the unprecedented Astronomia movement with its vertical construction and four perfectly balanced arms, each attached to a novel rotating satellite. The time display has been moved from being one of the four satellites to the center of the movement. The movement platform rotates every 10 minutes inside the 50mm 18k rose gold and sapphire crystal case while floating above an aventurine base with a hand-painted depiction of the Milky Way galaxy with planets.
This new Maestro also introduces a Worldtime function. It appears as an oversized globe of the earth extended from one of the arms of the Astronomia movement. This globe rotates on an axis every 24 hours, providing an accurate time among time zones throughout the world, while rotating with the platform every 10 minutes inside the dial.
JEAN BUGATTI
With its 46-mm case, the Jean Bugatti is a new design direction and its extremely sophisticated nature is on par with previous achievements by Jacob & Co. Inspired by the gifted designer and engineer Jean Bugatti, this new timepiece brings retro design to a new level thanks to a singularly advanced movement.
Calibre JCFM09 features a pair of one-minute flying tourbillons. A high frequency, double retrograde chronograph with split hands and digital jumping 30-minute counter. Peripheral hands. Smooth pushers coordinated by a column wheel system linked to a separate barrel and regulating organ.
The Jean Bugatti features an elegant dial with extensive rose gold appliques, and the overall appearance of a 1930’s Bugatti roadster grille. This groundbreaking mechanical accomplishment is available with a rose gold case and cream-white dial, or a white gold case with blue dial, both of which are limited to 57 pieces. The Jean Bugatti feels like the dashboard of a collectible Bugatti car with the openings at the bottom of the dial feel like the grille and headlights of a 1930’s coupé from Molsheim.
OPERA GODFATHER MINUTE REPEATER
In the universe of chiming/musical watches at Jacob & Co., the minute repeater came first, in the Palatial collection and in the Twin Turbo and Twin Turbo Furious. Then, the decision was made to add actual music to the watches, and the Opera Collection was introduced. The 49mm Opera timepiece was the first luxury timepiece to combine a high watchmaking triple-axis tourbillon movement with a two-comb, two-cylinder Swiss music box.
The Opera Godfather took the Opera one step farther, introducing the theme music from The Godfather, followed by the Opera Scarface.
With the Opera Godfather Minute Repeater, clients don’t have to choose between chiming out the time and playing music. This new grand complication timepiece combines a minute repeater, which chimes out the hours, quarters of hours, and minutes, with an on-demand two-comb, two-cylinder Swiss music box, playing the iconic theme from The Godfather.
