Jacob and Co. Bugatti Chiron Tourbillon Baguette

Sometimes owning a multi-million-dollar supercar isn’t enough. Some folks also need a diamond-encrusted replica of the engine mounted on their wrist as well. This is why Jacob & Co.’s Bugatti Chiron Tourbillon Baguette Black and Orange Sapphires watch exists.
In partnership with Bugatti, noted luxury watch brand Jacob & Co. has just released a highly technical watch inspired by the absurdly powerful Bugatti Chiron. The tourbillon houses a blinged-out miniature reproduction of the Chiron’s W16-cylinder engine.

Sporting 190 baguette white diamonds, 169 baguette black sapphires, and 42 baguette orange sapphires invisibly set in an 18k white gold case. To properly fix the stones in the case, Jacob & Co. stated that the get-setters used new proprietary techniques and advanced technologies.

The 55mm by 44mm case sports the similar flowing lines of the Chiron and a few Bugatti logos to make the watch’s inspiration clear. Inside the case is a replica of the Chiron’s 1,500 horsepower 8.0-liter 16-cylinder engine, with 16 tiny pistons and a steel crankshaft that actually move as they do in the real engine. To complete the illusion, two turbochargers spin in tandem with the cylinders (two less than the actual car, but likely two more superchargers than you’re wearing right now). Framing the engine are two “exhausts” which complete the theme.
It’s equipped with Jacob and Co.’s 578-component JCAM37 manual winding movement, which is suspended in four places with parts reminiscent of the Chiron’s automobile shocks. The shocks are visible through the sapphire crystal window and provide a 60-hour power reserve that’s indicated by the gas pump symbol on the side of the gauge (because why not).

Even the crowns pay homage to the famed supercar. Set into the back of the case like exhaust pipes, the left crown sets the time, the middle crown winds both the movement and the engine animation, and the right-hand crown starts the animation.
Yes, it is an extremely gaudy and intricate timepiece, but if you’re a Bugatti fan, subtlety is probably not your thing anyway. While most people aren’t in the market for a watch in this price range, it is a beautiful example of artwork, engineering, and design. Just like the car that serves as its inspiration.

If black and orange sapphires aren’t your thing, the watch is also available in black, blue, or grey titanium, rose gold, and diamond baguette versions as well as one with a case made entirely out of a single block of sapphire crystal.

Jacob & Co.’s Bugatti Chiron Tourbillon Baguette Black and Orange Sapphires is going for $560,000, which is a steal compared to the 3 million dollar supercar on which it’s based. Good thing you loaded up on all that Dogecoin.

Jacob and Co. Bugatti Chiron Sapphire Crystal

Few names command as much respect as Bugatti. In the automotive world, and for most luxury lifestyle blogs, the brand is the definition of performance, luxury, excess, style, and exclusivity. Crafted individually by hand and styled as a unique work of art unto itself, Bugatti transcends the idea of a car, sports car, or even a hypercar and breaks into its own halcyon tier where it only has to compete and reference itself. It can be said that, in the realm of watches and, particularly, one-of-a-kind timepieces, Jacob & Co. has much the same tradition and reputation. Thus, when Bugatti’s Veyron ended its run in 2016, there was little doubt that the successor vehicle would be anything less than pushing the envelope even further than Bugatti had done before. Now that the Chiron is nearing its 500 unit production run, Bugatti is tasked yet again with showing the world the limits of performance, the heights of design, and the embodiment of art in motion that their vehicles symbolize. To help the company commemorate the end of such a legendary run, horological masters Jacob & Co. are honoring the Chiron’s legacy with a one-off piece of art in the form of the Jacob and Co. Bugatti Chiron Sapphire Crystal. And, like the car it honors, the watch itself will not come cheap; in fact, at $1.5 million, the watch is almost as much of a statement about luxury as the car that inspires it. Part jewelry, part expertly-engineered timepiece, the Chiron Blue Sapphire Crystal is a striking example of the craftsmanship at work at Jacob & Co. whose partnership with the Bugatti brand is well-documented. In essence, Bugatti wanted a watch that evoked the spirit and engineering of the Chiron and Jacob and Co. Bugatti Chiron Sapphire Crystal are the world’s experts at demonstrating artisanal excellence with a artist’s eye for details and styling. The watch is notably similar to other examples from Jacob & Co. except for one major difference: The construction of the case in this piece uses a transparent gemstone material instead of metal. This can be seen in the tonneau itself which transitions from a deep blue color around the base to a crystal clear at the top. Utilizing the Jacob & Co. JCAM37 manual caliber, the main attraction here is a complication resembling the engine of the hypercar that inspires it. The blue sapphire and contrasting metal accents further underpin the hypercar aesthetic while also imbuing the entire piece with a traditional automotive vibe. Designed from the top-down with the end collector in mind, the watch invites appreciation with a transparent case that allows you to examine the intricate inner workings of the timepiece. For collectors that love to show off their wrist candy, or those of us that appreciate the construction and quality that goes into such a product, the Jacob and Co. Bugatti Chiron Sapphire Crystal is an excellent demonstration of horology as art. Interestingly, Jacob & Co. opted for a white silicon rubber strap for the wrist that mirrors the automotive theme while also tying the rest of the design’s elements together in a cohesive fashion.

Jacob & Co. X Khabib Nurmagomedov

The Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) Octagon, often called a “cage,” is one of the most dangerous places on Earth. It takes special courage to enter this arena, and something even more special to come out the victor. Khabib Nurmagomedov has emerged triumphant from the Octagon 29 times, and he has never lost.
Jacob & Co. X Khabib Nurmagomedov founder and chairman Jacob Arabo is a lover of the fight game and has attended many MMA fights over the years.

“I am a huge fan of Khabib,” says Mr. Arabo. “I have been following his career for a long time and when his team approached us about working together to create some limited-edition watches, I was very excited. For me, Khabib is the best pound-for-pound fighter on the planet and he fits the brand to a ‘T.’ In more ways than one, it’s Khabib’s time.”

For Khabib, the partnership makes complete sense. “I’m unlike any other fighter today and Jacob & Co. is the same way, different from every other brand,” he says. “We fit perfectly together.”
Jacob & Co.’s sportiest timepiece, the 47mm Jacob & Co. X Khabib Nurmagomedov Epic X Chrono features a column-wheel chronograph movement that is partially skeletonized. Highlighted with green touches, the timepiece features a green mineral crystal dial, red rubber crowns, an inner rotating bezel, the legend “29-0” at 6 o’clock, and is water resistant to 200 meters.
The bright polished titanium case works well with the green decoration, green mineral crystal dial, white rubber pushers, green rubber crowns, inner rotating bezel, and the legend “29-0” at 6 o’clock. A column-wheel chronograph, the Epic X Chrono Titanium Khabib is a true sports watch, water resistant to 200 meters.
Powered by a high watchmaking tourbillon movement, which is finely finished and skeletonized, this incredible limited edition features beautiful blue decorations, with “The Eagle” engraved on the inner bezel ring. The tourbillon is considered the pinnacle of watchmaking, and Jacob & Co.’s exclusive skeletonized version removes as much material as possible, making it almost see-through. The bold 44mm Epic X case showcases this mesmerizing complication with its exposed gears, wheels, and bridges.
This 44mm timepiece is cased in titanium and features a meticulously skeletonized manual-wind movement. Light and easy to wear, the Jacob & Co. X Khabib Nurmagomedov Epic X Skeleton is perfect for everyday use or when worn with a suit. Decorated in lustrous green, this special timepiece has “The Eagle” engraved on the inner bezel ring.

Jacob and Co. X Lionel Messi

After announcing their partnership with three timepiece styles earlier this year, Jacob & Co. and soccer legend Lionel Messi have collaborated again to create a one-of-a-kind timepiece for the Only Watch auction. Using the very successful Epic X Chronograph “Messi” as the foundation, Jacob & Co. has adorned the 47mm grade 5 Titanium case with 36 baguette-cut Blue Sapphires on the 18k white gold bezel, exclusively for Only Watch
In keeping with the blue theme of this year’s auction, the blue sapphires are matched with a blue mineral glass covering the skeletonized column wheel chronograph movement, white ceramic pushers, blue rubber horns and a red rubber crown. Messi’s famous number “10” is in red and his stylized logo appears at the six o’clock position of the dial. On the sapphire crystal and blue mineral crystal caseback is Messi’s signature, the Only Watch logo and the words Piece Unique. This Only Jacob and Co. X Lionel Messi Watch Auction lot features a priceless experience: the winning bidder will meet Lionel Messi in person, having the opportunity to take pictures with this football legend, having him sign some things and pose for an official portrait with Messi while both are wearing their Epic X Chronograph “Messi” watches.

“One of the reasons for the collaboration with Jacob and Co. X Lionel Messi was precisely to work on social projects,” says Messi. “Congratulations and thank you to Only Watch for giving us the opportunity to auction a watch from the Jacob & Messi limited edition collection to combat such a sad illness as Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy. And thanks in advance to the people who will bid on the watch—it will be a pleasure to meet the final buyer.”

Only Watch is an auction event that happens every two years, founded and organized by Luc Pettavino. 100% of the proceeds go to fund the search for therapeutic solutions for Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, a condition that afflicted Pettavino’s son Paul, who passed away in November 2016 at the age of 21.

Jacob & Co.’s partnership with Lionel Messi has been extraordinarily successful and using this high-profile platform to support and benefit such a worthy cause makes perfect sense. “When we approached Only Jacob and Co. X Lionel Messi Watch about participating, we knew that we had to do something spectacular,” says Jacob Arabo, founder of Jacob & Co. “Producing a piece unique watch that pairs horology and extraordinary gem-setting with an exclusive experience, getting the chance to meet one of modern football’s living legends, Lionel Messi, makes this Only Watch lot out of this world. I hope it will raise a great deal of money for the cause.”

Jacob and Co. X Luis Figo

The collaboration between Jacob & Co. and Luis Figo is the result of friendship, mutual respect, and a shared passion for both watches and sport. The chronograph function of the Epic X Chrono collection epitomizes sport, dynamism, and mechanical precision, mirroring Figos’ celebrated qualities on the field.
Jacob & Co. Founder Jacob Arabo states of the collaboration, “As one of the most celebrated names in football, Luis Figo demonstrates the highest level of mastery in his sport. It’s been a pleasure working with him to create a timepiece that speaks to sophistication, style and technical skill that is synonymous with his name.”

Figo, who previously wore the brand’s signature Epic SF 24 model as his timekeeping instrument of choice, has long admired Jacob & Co.’s Swiss-made creations for their bold style and advanced complications. It’s only natural that the limited edition pieces bearing the football star’s name also offer a daring twist that complements his taste.
The three timepiece designs boast with a 47-mm diameter in an 18-k carat rose gold, black DLC titanium or titanium case. The piece features a ceramic bezel, push buttons, and crown, as well as an openwork rubber wristband that is sure to captivate with its compelling design and dexterous contrast between high-tech and precious materials. The watch’s robust case is water resistant to 200m, and houses a high-performance automatic chronograph movement: Jacob & Co.’s exclusive JCAA05 skeleton Bi-Compax caliber and it’s 48- hour power reserve. It offers 260 components in total that render the Epic X Chrono an extraordinary watch; 27 rubies, a column wheel and anti-shock system; an anthracite grey rotor and red-lacquered engraved logo; angled, polished and circularly grained bridges and movement components visible through the smoked sapphire case back. The case back of the Jacob and Co. X Luis Figo limited edition pieces are engraved with his name, while the dial’s rehaut features his jersey number – 10.
Aside from this dual visual signature, whose elegance mirrors the Portuguese player’s mastery, the watch’s dynamic nature is expressed through the presence of two additional counters on the dial, an inner rotational bezel controlled by a crown located at 10 o’clock and oversized push-buttons on either side of the setting crown.

Each version of this new Luis Figo Limited Edition Epic X Chrono is equipped with a black rubber wristband, which will allow football aficionados to time the games during this summer’s World Cup in Russia while also championing their penchant for a distinct style.

Jacob and Co. X Johan Ernst Nilson

Watches as complicated as Jacob & Co.’s Astronomia usually spend most of their time in a collector’s box, taken out only when the occasion calls for it. Usually, that occasion is a black tie soiree or an anniversary dinner at a three Michelin-starred restaurant. For Swedish explorer and adventure activist Johan Ernst Nilson, the perfect occasion is scaling the Himalayas.
Wearing a watch like that to conditions as harsh as Mount Everest’s might sound completely absurd, but that’s the exact preconception the Swiss watchmaker wanted to overturn. Nilson — who’s no stranger to frigid, uninhabitable environments — proved that by taking one with him the last time he made it to the peak. A lot of watches would’ve caved under temperatures as low as -30 degrees Celsius and at altitudes of 20,000ft, much less tolerate the impacts that come with scaling tall walls of ice, but the Astronomia survived, and it has inspired the watch that we see today — the Astronomia Tourbillon Everest.
Like the Astronomia Sky, this special edition sees the firm’s trademark double-axis gravitational tourbillon on one of the four satellites. Unlike the Sky, however, this Everest version has plenty more connection to Earth, and so the two little vials at the 12 and six o’clock position contain actual water that Nilson collection at the North and South Poles. On the opposing end of the magnesium-lacquered Earth globe is a one-carat Jacob-cut diamond (or black sapphire, depending on the version) that rotates on itself in 60 sec.

At the centre of the watch, however, sits the star of the show: A piece of rock from Everest itself, another souvenir from Nilson’s adventures.

Earthly easter eggs aside, the timepiece was designed to actually serve a purpose. For the first time on the Astronomia is Super-Luminova on its hands, the constellations on the base dial, turning globe, logo, and even the strap, adding a bit of functionality on what would otherwise simply be a horological work of art.
The Astronomia Tourbillon Everest comes housed in a presentation box shaped like Mount Everest, even featuring a line that traces a climber’s ascent up the word’s tallest peak. The timepiece — in a limited edition of 24 pieces — is nestled in an icy interior with a mini speaker that plays the recorded sound of Everest’s strong winds, but if that’s not realistic enough for you each sale includes an Everest expedition with Nilson — via helicopter — to the place where the rock in your watch was found.

As an avid explorer, he also hopes this timepiece can help address the impacts of climate change he’s witnessed while travelling to 172 countries. As such, 10 percent of the purchase price of each package will be donated to an environmental charity, which is pretty significant considering they go at Jacob and Co. X Johan Ernst Nilson each.

Jacob & Co. Epic X Racing

This year, Jacob & Co. Epic X Racing expands the EPIC X collection with the EPIC X Racing, new coloured versions of the EPIC X that take the sporting nature of these timepieces to a new dimension. Introduced in 2013, the Jacob & Co. Epic X Racing watches are modern versions of one of the most traditional forms of watchmaking: the open-worked, or skeletonized, watch, where the movement is visible both through the dial and the back of the watch, and, as well, has had as much metal removed as possible without compromising the functionality of the movement. The goal of the craftsperson making an open-worked watch is to achieve the highest level of transparency possible, and it’s this combination of visual lightness with structural integrity that gives this type of watchmaking its fascination.
Unlike most open-worked watches, which are skeletonized versions of normal watches, the Epic X collection is built around a specially constructed movement – the exclusive Jacob and Co. caliber JA, which has been designed as an open-worked caliber from the beginning.

The movement components are supported by two girder-like structures which flank the two most prominent elements in the movement: the mainspring barrel, which stores the energy necessary for the watch to run, and the balance wheel, at 6:00, whose oscillations allow the watch to keep track of time. The high tech nature of the movement contrasts vividly with its meticulous finishing, including carefully chamfered bridges and mirror-polished screws, with the entire composition punctuated by the highly polished settings for the going-train and balance jewels.
The engineers and watchmakers at Jacob & Co. have found a way to add color to the EPIC X, in the form of inserts into the distinctive case, while at the same time using new materials in the case itself. The two case styles are micro-blasted and Satin-finished Grade 5 Titanium (the Jacob & Co. Epic X Racing Titanium watches) and Black DLC-coated Grade 5 Titanium (the EPIC X Racing Black timepieces).
The colour is added via inserts that fit into the structured case. In all versions, the right-hand bridge has EPIC X engraved, with matching coloured lacquer on these bridges. Likewise, the engraved Jacob & Co. logo appears on the inside of the case. The colours available in the Titanium (Grade 5 Titanium with coloured rubber inserts) and Black (the black is Black DLC Grade 5 Titanium with coloured Neoralithe inserts) versions are red, blue, orange and white.

Jacob & Co. Epic X Titanium

Lionel Messi, football’s most prolific goal scorer and arguably the greatest modern football player, could have chosen any watch company in the world to work with, and he chose Jacob & Co., one of high watchmaking’s most creative brands. He said to Jacob Arabo, the founder of Jacob & Co. Epic X Titanium , when the partnership was finalized, “I’ll keep trying to do my best on the pitch and together we will realize our vision.”

Globally praised for his incredible precision and speed in the beautiful game and followed for his trend-setting lifestyle, Messi worked closely with Jacob & Co, giving his personal input and unique trademarks when designing the Epic X Chrono “Messi” Limited Editions.

“At Jacob & Co., we make sure we partner with the best in the world, or we don’t partner at all,” says Jacob Arabo, founder, Jacob & Co. “With Messi and the Epic X Chrono, we have certainly accomplished this.”

For this partnership, Jacob & Co. chose the sportiest timepiece in our line, the Epic X Chrono, to adapt for one of the sportiest elite athletes in the world.

This long-term partnership between two leaders of their respective fields has created limited editions and unique pieces based on the Jacob & Co. Epic X Titanium Chrono.

On every timepiece are the blue and white colors of the flag of Argentina, Messi’s home country.

Messi’s famous number 10 is highlighted in red on the bezel, and his stylized “M” logo is at the six o’clock position on the dial. And in an extra-special touch, Messi’s signature is on the exhibition caseback.
The high-quality movement is a Swiss Made column-wheel chronograph movement, partially skeletonized. Controlled by two pushers (start/stop and reset), the seconds are counted by the central chronograph hand and the minutes are clocked by the right-hand subdial.
The 47mm titanium case features an anti-reflective sapphire crystal, a ceramic bezel and rubber pushers. Water resistant to 200 meters, the case also has a screw-down crown and an inner rotating bezel, controlled by the push-down crown at 10 o’clock.
The Jacob & Co. Epic X Titanium Chrono Messi has a bi-compax layout, with the right subdial for the chronograph minutes and the left subdial for the running seconds. The dial itself is blued mineral crystal, allowing a glimpse into the column-wheel chronograph movement below.

Jacob & Co. Epic X Tourbillon

The Jacob & Co. Epic X Tourbillon is a modern evolution of one of the most traditional forms of watchmaking. The open-worked, or “skeletonized” timepiece allows the movement to be visible both through the dial and the back of the watch, with as much metal removed as possible without compromising functionality. The goal of the watchmaker crafting an open-worked watch is to achieve the highest level of transparency possible; the challenging combination of visual lightness with structural integrity. Adding to the fascination on display is the tourbillon in the six o’clock position, which is also skeletonized, and the beautiful gemstones set on the case and structures of the timepiece.
Bold and distinctive Epic X case
44mm case is great to wear and supremely comfortable
High-watchmaking tourbillon movement magnificently skeletonized
The highest quality diamonds and gems set on the case and bridges
High-end finishing on the manual wind tourbillon movement
Water resistant to 30m and with a 72-hour power reserve
Anti-reflective sapphire crystals on the front and back, putting the entire movement on display
18K White Gold Bracelet with 440 Baguette Rubies
Jacob & Co. Epic X Tourbillon was one of the first watch makers to understand the power of “insane watch,” that being a mechanical watch of epic complication meant solely to wow and impress in a manner akin to the tone and content of many rap music videos. These are designed to be “ultra-luxury lifestyle” watches for people who buy new yachts when they are bored and surfing eBay on their phone while waiting for their personal bankers to exit the toilet of the yacht they are currently sitting in. The only thing about a watch like this which is meant to make sense is that it is supposed to be more impressive than what most other rich people can afford.
Jacob & Co. Epic X Tourbillon has presented the Astronomia Tourbillon in a large-diameter 18k rose gold case with a bezel and crystal made out of a single piece of sapphire crystal. This allows for a full view of the dial from all angles. Also note the lack of crown, which means that it is either on the top of the watch or more likely somewhere on the back. The mechanical movement itself represents a rather small portion of the dial by design to allow for a vastness to the case and feeling that the four “planets” have a lot of room to move around. It will more than likely be manually wound.

As an exercise in pure horological decadence, the Astronomia Tourbillon certainly hits the spot with a sinfully interesting watch whose production cost and eventual retail price is probably equally awesome. We at aBlogtoWatch love this stuff because it makes owning a simple timepiece all that much more interesting. We can look at our rudimentary “classic” watches and imagine that somewhere out there, someone may be wearing an Astronomia Tourbillon and be reading the exact same hour of the day but with so much more panache.

Jacob & Co. Epic X Tourbillon Baguette

The Jacob & Co. Epic X Tourbillon Baguette is a modern evolution of one of the most traditional forms of watchmaking. The open-worked, or “skeletonized” timepiece allows the movement to be visible both through the dial and the back of the watch, with as much metal removed as possible without compromising functionality. The goal of the watchmaker crafting an open-worked watch is to achieve the highest level of transparency possible; the challenging combination of visual lightness with structural integrity. Adding to the fascination on display is the tourbillon in the six o’clock position, which is also skeletonized, and the beautiful gemstones set on the case and structures of the timepiece.
The Epic X Tourbillon case is bold and elegant, yet robust, so it can truly accompany you through your day, to the office, out for a casual dinner or even to an elegant party.
The tourbillon was originally invented to be a single-axis, rotating cage carrying the regulating organ of a mechanical pocket watch for improved timekeeping performance. The version in the Jacob & Co. Epic X Tourbillon Baguette presents this more than 225-year-old invention in a yet more spectacular way, as the entire movement is skeletonized.

The one-minute tourbillon features a delicately decorated cage that encapsulates the balance wheel, hairspring, escape wheel and a number of other crucially important components. This open-worked cage not only features an elaborate web-pattern in its architecture, but allows for an unobstructed and full view at the ultimate refinement of its detailing and operation. It is a constellation of superbly finished components that, when assembled and expertly fine-tuned, allows the JCAA03 movement to keep accurate time throughout its 72-hour power reserve.
Skeletonizing is an age-old tradition in watchmaking. The challenge is to remove enough material from the movement to make it nearly transparent, without impacting its performance, precision, or robustness.

Jacob & Co.’s watchmakers have been skeletonizing movements for decades, so they understand exactly where and how much to remove, and the result is a nearly see-through movement, configured vertically to maximize the beauty of this little engine on the wrist.
Jacob & Co. is one of the few brands that has the legitimacy to create high and fine jewelry, as well as high-end watches.

The diamond and gemstones industry is a closed society, and it is really a relationship business. Sourcing the very best diamonds and gemstones depends on reputation and personal connections, and thankfully Jacob & Co. has solid, decades-long relationships.

As a result, Jacob & Co. has access to the very best sources of diamonds and gemstones from all over the world. Many of the gem-set timepieces, like the Brilliant Skeleton pieces, require meticulous care in the choosing of stones for quality, cut, clarity, and matching color. This can take many months or years, depending on the exact colors needed.

Jacob & Co. is also an expert in the setting of these stones, working with the very best gem setters in the industry. The design of this 44mm case is bold and distinctive, with its powerful “X” shape. The manual wind movement is on display through the antireflective sapphire crystals front and back. The beauty of skeletonized watches is that there are no dials – instead the highest quality sapphire crystals expose the details of the movement, including the tourbillon, wheels, gears, balance, bridges, and mainspring barrel. The skeletonized leaf-shaped hands in the center, indicating the hours and minutes, float over the mechanical splendor. The strap of the Jacob & Co. Epic X Tourbillon Baguette is an intriguing and very comfortable open-worked rubber and it is also available on an elegant alligator strap
