Jacob & Co. truly elevated the art of watchmaking with their groundbreaking release of e Astronomia Gravita- tional Triple Axis Tourbillon, a timepiece of cosmic and otherworldly beauty. e Astronomia Tourbillon combines the highest level of Swiss timepiece master crasmanship and horological arts to fashion a watch that is a poetic visual rendering of the celestial world. But what makes this a truly remarkable (and unique) timepiece, is its design. Every element of its framework is in constant, visible motion. Under the control of its oscillator, located at the very heart of the three-ax- is tourbillon, the watch features an orbital display of the hours and minutes. e timepiece animates a four-part emulation of the Earth's connection to the universe and time's relationship to the movement of our solar system. e three-dimen- sional JCAM10 caliber performs a series of multi-axial rev- olutions in the Astronomia Baguette upon its face, which is comprised of 342 invisibly set white baguette diamonds. In addition, for every full cycle, four individual satellites accompany the timepiece motion with their own mesmer- izing movements. Adjacent to a titanium hand-painted Earth, the Astrono- mia Moon is composed of a Jacob Cut, 288-facet spherical diamond, refracting light in every direction while illumi- nating the face throughout its 60-second rotation around an independent axis. e Jacob Cut diamond is an inven- tion exclusive to Jacob & Co. e handcraed tourbillon adds an impressive effect of weightlessness just like outer space, thanks to the three axes of rotation within the de- sign. is creates a floating effect which mimics the won- ders of outer space and the sky above filled with an infinite amount of stars and mysterious planets. e Astronomia Tourbillon is housed in a magnificent 50 mm, water-resistant, 18K rose gold case. e timepeace floats freely as it explores the beauty and complexity of the universe. When strapped to ones wrist, the owner is treated to a show of the sky's amazing majesticity, which was all made possible by Jacob & Co, bringing an incredible vision to reality. VUE ON FASHION
