The most popular watchmaking concept of recent times, the exotic watches, is re-defined. Jacob & Co. X Chiron Tourbillon, which was born in cooperation with Bugatti, impresses with its unique movement.
Luxury consumption; a world of immense expectations. Increased demands… Demands pushing the boundaries of imagination. Manufacturers and consumers who are not afraid to go outside the logic frameworks. I'm sorry to say that but I am talking about potential customers of X Bugatti Chiron Tourbillon. I'm talking about a room full of people.
What type of people can own and drive a Bugatti Chiron that can go at a speed of 420km per hour on a public road? Yes, the first answer is that they are terrifyingly rich. What about the others? An expectation of luxury that ends up in lack of satisfaction sometimes, expectations that are extremely difficult to meet and the list goes on. Jacob & Co. came up with a watch to satisfy these people. A fascinating watch… I’ll take it further and say that you cannot even comment about the absurd perfection of the watch.
Likes and tastes are relative concepts. The crazy design of Jacob & Co. X Bugatti Chiron Tourbillon may not be for everyone, but I think it will make everyone respect the details that make up the case and the movement. The model comes in a black titanium case measuring 54mm x 44mm. Equipped with sapphire crystals on both sides; the case is water-resistant to 30 meters. Thanks to the idea of placing crystals on the side surfaces of the angular design case, the extraordinary movement is fully enjoyed from every angle.
Yes, the case of the model is so eye-catching that it can be the subject of a review of its own, but in this article, it is not an option but a necessity to focus on the movement. From a functional point of view, we have a movement that displays the time and power reserve. From the same point of view, we can say that Bugatti Chiron is a vehicle that takes you from point A to point B. Fortunately, we are all confident that both Bugatti Chiron and the watch mean more than these.
JCAM37 is the reference of the in-house movement that powers the Jacob & Co. X Chiron Tourbillon. It measures 41.7mm x 36mm x 15.6mm, has 51 jewels, beats at 21600vph and has a 60-hour power reserve. The minute and hour hands are positioned relatively above the movement. The Tourbillon balance is placed at the same axis with these hands and at an angle of 30 degrees. In the large space below the movement, a detail will make you overjoyed to see. A miniature W16 engraved in a single block of sapphire crystal!
Bugatti Chiron has an 8-liter, 4-turbo and a 16-cylinder engine, placed in the "W" orientation. This engine has a full 1500 horsepower and allows the Chiron to reach an electronically limited 420km/h maximum speed. Jacob & Co. placed a miniature copy of this engineering masterpiece on the watch. Moreover, you can start the engine thanks to the button located at the bottom of the case.
Jacob & Co. X Bugatti Chiron Tourbillon is available with a black rubber strap and a folding titanium clasp. Although there is no exact information about the production number of the model, it is not difficult to predict that it will be quite low. The list price is set at $ 280,000 (USA list) but we estimate that this value will increase by the unique demands of highly imaginative customers.
