Jacob & Co Bugatti Chiron Tourbillon

Jacob and Co. Bugatti Chiron Tourbillon

The crystal-clear Jacob and Co Bugatti Chiron Tourbillon features a baguette-cut diamond case in 18k rose or white gold, and the Bugatti Chiron's on-demand engine animation.

In 2019, Bugatti and Jacob & Co. signed a multi-year partnership to create unique timepieces like never before. These watches stay true to the ethos of both companies while pushing watchmaking to impossible heights

To kick off this performance-led partnership, we created two luxury replica watches. These watches based on the Twin Turbo Furious and Epic X Chrono are directly inspired by the unique design and spirit of Bugatti supercars.

For 2020, Jacob & Co. and Bugatti have launched new watches in the Twin Turbo Furious collection, as well as a new line of Bugatti Chiron.

There are countless car-themed watches, entire watch brands built around the connection between motorsport and timekeeping, and the most recognizable names in the horology world can be seen as sponsors of motorsport and motorsports events around the world. But while some watchmakers will simply add stripes to the dial or rally strap of a decades-old coronameter Bugatti, Jacob & Co. takes "automotive inspiration" to the next level.

The watch's marketing materials talk about recreating the visceral feel of the Bugatti W16 in a timepiece, but the problem is that traditional watch movements can't capture the energy and power of such a high-performance car. So instead of creating a movement that represents Bugatti's elegance and engineering, they decided to produce what may be the most complicated car brand watch ever built, a functional replica of Bugatti's 16-cylinder engine, complete with working pistons and a rotating mechanism.

Push the right-hand crown of the clock and the engine kicks in—the crankshaft turns and the pistons pump up and down, just like a real internal combustion engine. When the engine is running, two "turbochargers" (four in an actual Chiron engine) on the sides of the engine block spin. Consisting of 578 components, the movement is a complication of the highest level for the development team.

Aside from the animation inside, the case is designed to capture the shape of the Chiron, including the iconic Bugatti grille and side scoops, and the movement is even suspended by micro coil springs. The watch itself is rather flashy, but once you see it in motion, the beauty of the engineering shines through.

Jacob & Co's Bugatti Chiron Blue Sapphire Crystal Watch with Mini W16 Engine

Already have a Bugatti Chiron in your garage and want something to complement it? If so, then check out the Bugatti Chiron Blue Sapphire Crystal watch by Jacob and Co. This one-off timepiece features a working miniature W16 engine with 16 pistons that draws power from various power reserves. Simply turn clockwise to wind the movement and counterclockwise to start the engine.

The blue sapphire crystal took about 1 year to complete, marking the JCAM37 hand-wound movement with 578 hand-decorated, hand-assembled components. It has 51 jewels, all of which are visible through the transparent case painted in an attractive dark blue, and it also includes the first inclined tourbillon from Jacob & Co., which is placed at a 30° angle and passes through the case Partially visible.

As an interpretation of the Bugatti logo, this watch naturally retains the company's design DNA and also conveys its emotion. In addition to the flying tourbillon bearing the Jacob & Co. logo, a subtle 'EB' emblem from Bugatti adorns the engine compartment, where the 'crankshaft' houses 16 pistons, all ready and ready for action. The window of the tourbillon is modeled after the iconic horseshoe grille of Bugatti supercars," Bugatti said. replica watches for sale
