Jacob & Co. Astronomia Tourbillon Watch Hands-on One of the most impressive things I wore on my wrist at Baselworld 2015 was the finished Jacob & Co. The Astronomia Tourbillon mens replica watch (and the diamond-encrusted Jacob & Co. Astronomia Tourbillon Baguette). I had a very real and very big smile on my face as I gazed at the giant sapphire crystal-encased mechanical planetary system on my wrist, which by some accounts didn't even have any business presence because it was so over the top. It's a crazy watch, and it's Jacob & Co. at its best - a watch and jewelry company that I think deserves more attention than watch lovers. I've written a lot about Jacob Arabo and his controversial life and company over the years. Let's face it, he's in the business of dazzling the world's rich and famous. It's a tall order and people need to realize that with so many companies trying to surprise the world, One of the many things I have learned as a luxury watch writer/blogger/reviewer/other is that the world of the wealthy is very different from the world of those who are not so wealthy. Class discrimination exists and is real , while everyone goes to the toilet and puts their pants on one leg at a time, people with a lot of money have different problems and considerations in their lives. Well, enough for now, let's get back to the dazzling Mr. Arabo and some buying replica watch that I don't think people in his world know much about. If you're trying to gauge the "point" of the Jacob & Co. Astronomia Tourbillon in relation to, say, a dive-style tool watch, it's like trying to compare a solid log cabin with a grand villa by the sea. Yes, both are technical constructs, the first probably makes more sense, but the latter is about social positioning and the ability to reward yourself. You see, no matter how rich you are, there are always things you need to save to afford. Jacob & Co. is a brand whose top-of-the-line offerings are the holy grail for those who can buy but still need to consider a million-dollar watch. In other words, the royals wear the crown and live in the castle to say something about themselves – something about their power, prestige and place in life. Doing so would upset those without crowns and castles, but those people would still get the opinion of those with money. Diamonds and highly complicated watches can serve as wearable power carriers. At the end of the day, this is what status and social symbols are all about. First, it's about attracting a spouse, and then, it's about telling the people around you that you have some power over them or privileges they don't. We all want power, and we all get annoyed with those who have it (especially when we feel they don't deserve it). Like it or not, Jacob & Co. luxury replica watches are all about Mr. Arabo's talented approach to design, and it conveys that beautifully. After all, this is the guy who just launched a watch called the Billionaire Tourbillon. You can think of the Jacob & Co. Astronomia Tourbillon as a neat little machine, but when you wear it on your wrist and affix a two-inch-tall sapphire and 18k gold hemisphere to it, you're really telling People things about yourself. Hopefully, I think, the attention you're gathering is positive, right? Now, allow me to take a few steps back and remind you that diamonds can be presented in both refined and uncouth ways. This is the nuance of diamond watch reviews that I think only a few people fully understand, and those in the odd situation of handing them an assortment of extremely expensive diamonds and asking for their opinion - and then being able to compare them experience after experience. Jacob & Co. is unique because of their ability to harness "too much, Jacob & Co. has a long history of working with Swiss movement maker Concepto, but this is another company they work with for their Astronomia movements. For this collection, Jacob & Co. teamed up with Switzerland-based Studio7h38, which is responsible for the wild-looking mechanical movement inside the Jacob & Co. Astronomia Tourbillon. Looking at it closely, the mechanism is impressive, but it's not quite as finished as Greubel Forsey. Well, nothing is really done, so it's not a fair comparison. The movement is a tiny industrial mechanical mechanism, I don't even know how to describe its complexity. Let's start with the three-axis tourbillon, one of the four arms of the movement.cheap replica watches Note that what you see in the case cavity of the Jacob & Co. Astronomia is the entire JCEM01 hand-wound movement, the planetary structure is actually on the barrel. It is actually a barrel, designed after some system of historic American pocket watches. Each of the four mechanical arms is linked by a special differential system that makes one revolution around the dial every 20 minutes. That is the first axis of the tourbillon. The tourbillon system itself has two other pivot points, making one revolution every 60 seconds and then turning in a different direction every 5 minutes. Opposite the tourbillon is a chrono dial, which is pretty cool because no matter where it goes around the dial, it points upright. I just love that. Then there is the arm with a miniature hand-painted titanium sphere, and opposite it is a "Jacob cut" diamond, which uses Jacob & Co.'s exclusive registered process, which gives the diamond a spherical case and 288 facets. The globe and diamond disco ball spin once every 60 seconds. What's the point of all this spinning and moving? Serving as "hypnotic choreography" of course; it's all about visual splendor (and it works). So like I said, if you think too much about Jacob & Co. Astronomia Tourbillon, you keep asking "why?" It's not why, it's just because it's cool and they can. When you're a Jacob & Co. customer, you don't want to hear about a working planetarium and math equations—you want to be dazzled, entertained and reminded that you're special. Anyone who wears the Jacob & Co. Astronomia Tourbillon is "special". JACOB & CO ASTRONOMIA SKY The Jacob & Co. Astronomia Tourbillon case is 50mm wide and 25mm thick, made of 18k rose gold and covered with a very beautiful AR coated sapphire crystal. While not everyone may "get" a Jacob & Co. Astronomia, you can tell the design was carefully planned. To operate the watch or wind it, there are two fold-out "keys" on the case back. As big as the Jacob & Co. Astronomia Tourbillon, it fits perfectly on the wrist. That is, until you accidentally knock it against a wall or table. If you're a watch lover, playing with the Jacob & Co. Astronomia Tourbillon or even the Jacob & Co. Astronomia Tourbillon Baguette can be fun. I mean, at the end of the day, it should be fun. Jacob Arabo may have an interesting reputation, but being very nice to his clients is also part of it. When he promises to wow them, it happens. In all of this, what I'm trying to do is help explain the admittedly weird world that exists for brands like Jacob & Co. — and the weird world of watches like the Jacob & Co. Astronomia Tourbillon and Jacob & Co. The Astronomia Tourbillon Baguette, with the addition of a 16-carat invisible set baguette-cut diamond. For the average person, flaunting wealth so much is distasteful, and probably for good reason, since the message is effectively saying "I'm better than you." But imagine a world where everyone can afford these things, and instead of making their peers jealous because of the price of their items, they just want to impress visually. The element of luxury being "in front of you" will never go away, and I'm certainly a fan of the democratization of luxury. replica Richard Mille RM 011 Watches
