Sky Is the Limit
Why dream of stars beneath your feet when you can strap the universe on your wrist.
A gentleman’s romance with his timepiece is a roaring affair. A watch is not so much an accessory as it is an essence of his personality. And if your aesthetics swing between sophistication and grandiosity, we have just the piece for you. Jacob & Co. launched Astronomia Flawless timepiece in Geneva and we are still hung up on it. It is an Astronomia Gravitational Triple Axis Tourbillon watch with the sun, the moon and the earth’s globes. Here’s a ground breaking timepiece that elevates the art of watchmaking above the Earth and beyond time.
Jacob Arabo combines the highest level of Swiss timepiece craftsmanship and horological decorative arts to create a watch that is a poetic rendition of the celestial world with every element in constant, visible motion, all under the control of the oscillator at the heart of the three-axis tourbillon with an orbital display of hours and minutes. This visual poetry is built around several carats of diamonds. The inner workings of the watch are one carat spherical white diamond and 2.2 carat fancy yellow diamond.
The watch is enclosed in a sapphire case that includes a case, a dome, and a case back. A sapphire barrel bridge in the movement, a blue sapphire dial and a sapphire buckle on the blue strap complete the look. Need we say more?
