Jacob & Co.’s Astronomia Sky takes the triple-axis tourbillon to a higher level.
For Jacob & Co, which has always created complications never before seen in watchmaking (such as the Epic SF24, Quentin Tourbillon and Palatial Flying Tourbillon Jumping Hours and Minute Repeater), the Astronomia Triple Axis Gravitational Tourbillon, launched in 2014, was a game changer. Not only was it a unique complication, it was a beautiful watch.
This year, Jacob & Co. has taken the Astronomia Gravitational Triple Axis Tourbillon to a whole new level by adding a world-first astronomical complication.
The new Astronomia Sky introduces a three-dimensional sidereal display, a unique day/night indicator, an orbital seconds hand, a gravitational triple-axis tourbillon (and, of course, a spherical orange sapphire moon).
The fake watches for sale’s celestial dial is a blue grade 5 titanium dial with 18K gold stars and hand-engraved zodiac signs that completes one rotation in one sidereal year – the actual time it takes the Earth to orbit the Sun relative to the stars.
Above this celestial dial is an elliptical sky indicator showing the portion of the sky visible from the Northern Hemisphere (don’t worry, Jacob & Co. can make one showing the sky in the Southern Hemisphere on request). This indicator completes one full rotation in one sidereal day (23.5640916 hours).
Through an opening in the sapphire case, the 12 months displayed on the side of the sidereal dial are visible. A perpetual calendar hand indicates the current date.
At the center of the satellite axis, a hand-engraved lacquered titanium globe rotates inside a hemispherical sapphire crystal, symbolizing day and night. Thanks to a differential system, the globe completes one rotation in a 24-hour day.
The four satellites never stop, rotating around the dial every 20 minutes. On one of the satellites spins the amazing three-axis gravity tourbillon, which rotates once on one axis every 60 seconds; once on a second axis every five minutes, and once around the dial every 20 minutes. replica men watches
On another satellite is the time (hours and minutes) subdial. Thanks to a clever differential gear system, the time display is always in the correct position – in other words, 12 is always up!
On the third satellite is the orbital seconds hand, a skeletonized titanium wheel that rotates once every 60 seconds and around the dial every 20 minutes.
On the fourth and final satellite is the “Jacob’s Cut Red Moon”, a spherical orange sapphire with 288 facets. This gem cut is a first for the modern jewelry industry and rotates once on its axis every 60 seconds and around the dial every 20 minutes.
Whew! Just describing this cheap replica watches is challenging enough, imagine designing and producing it!
