According to Jacob & Co., allotted time doesn’t fly, it floats
For the first time in Geneva, the master designers at Jacob & Co. have created an ingenious interpretation of a classic regulator complication, subverting some of the rules of the method in the most striking way.
To keep it simple, a "regulator" is a method of timekeeping (starting with clocks and pocket watches) that separates the functions of hours, minutes, and seconds and displays each function on a separate face on a watch dial.
In fact, due to their inherent accuracy, regulator clocks are often used as real-time references by watchmaking shops, even if they do not produce regulator copy luxury watches themselves.
However, transforming this ancient complication into a luxurious floating power work of art is beyond the reach of ordinary watch brands. No, that’s the job of a brand as eclectic and undisputedly technical as Jacob & Co.

Again, to keep it simple, the new Jacob & Co. Astronomia Régulateur is a 43mm 18k rose gold regulator watch. But, given the house's innovative and decorative tendencies, the "simple" part of its description ends here, as there is much more to the story.
Its floating 3D architecture and signature visual appeal—from component finishes to the vibrant blue and its red and gold colorways—are just the beginning of the extras the Astronomia Régulateur brings to the party. replica Tudor Black Bay
The oversized sapphire faceplate is domed along the top (of course) and curves along the sides of the 18mm-thick case, held in place by the gleaming frame of the red gold case (which features a downward-sloping top flange and an open structure lugs). Think of it like a museum case; it allows you to observe the watch itself.
Still, like all Jacob & Co. timepieces, the Astronomia Régulateur demands closer inspection, a look that reveals some impressive horological innovations to match the clever decoration.

Jacob & Co. Launches New Astronomia Régulateur Lite
Simpler design plus much more complex mechanism.
Jacob & Co. recently launched the latest type of its classic Astronomia review replica watches : the Astronomia Régulateur. Unlike its predecessors having luxurious complications and huge displays, the Régulateur is often a chronograph with a more polished design that allows its wise time display to take the main stage.
One-minute regulator In last year’s Astronomia Régulateur we discovered the introduction of a central jar that completed one sequence per minute, a significant departure from previous 20- or 10-minute cycles. This central car housed all the striking factors as well as the balance wheel, consequently its rotation actually brought about all the preceding components to help rotate. This feature is kept in the latest Astronomia Régulateur.
To take full selling point of the rapid rotation, Jacob & Co. redesigned the particular central support to partition the dial into a couple different subdials: one to the hours and the other for any minutes, similar to a traditional unsafe effects of clock in a watchmaking handyroom. The combination of these two subdials with the tourbillon creates a three-counter layout reminiscent of a stop-watch. What makes it unique is always that all three subdials make a comprehensive rotation around the dial every sixty seconds. replica Breitling SuperOcean Watches
Unexpectedly, the tourbillon is a bi-axial flying tourbillon. Not only are there its own 60-second period, even so the carrier it sits with also completes one emerging trend per minute along a different axis.
In addition to the vibrant display, there is also a seconds pointer in the form of a ring on the call. The seconds disc swivels counterclockwise relative to the predetermined hand at the six o'clock position to mark typically the passage of seconds. It is not easy to think of any other replica watches swiss that can provide such image movement through the rotation with the double one-minute dial.
Design and Development It’s worth jotting that the latest Astronomia Régulateur keeps things simple, devoid of any fancy spinning globes or maybe stars. The result is a more critical and minimalist-looking watch this shows off its technical capabilities better than the older, brilliant Astronomia models. The Astronomia line is slowly going towards a more minimalist layout. Last year’s Astronomia Emerging trend was also a great sort of this trendy style.
The minimalist style and design is not only reflected on the face, but also on the side of the case. A new transparent window on the side of the watch case truly shows the simple watch dial and movement inside. This allows rapid rotation to glimmer without any interference.

Speaking of leanness, the new JCAM56 movement is likewise the brand’s thinnest Astronomia yet. The entire watch, for example the case, is just 18mm large, a big improvement over prior models that were 25mm as well as taller.
Additionally , the JCAM56 has one thing special: a 1/6 secondly regulator. This means it works six to eight times faster than a usual pendulum, discharging an electric impose every time the balance wheel to our lives. This is the fastest regulator worldwide.
According to a job interview with brand watchmaker Bahman Tagharrobi, they made this pendulum to solve a problem with speedy carriers: it requires a lot of strength to work, which puts a lot pressure on the escapement. Consequently , they made this constant recent device to break down the energy in smaller fragments to protect often the movement from damage. Replica Bremont Terra Nova watches
