Take a brand known for its creative freedom, give it the world of inspiration and a few satellites to launch into orbit. The result is a watch capable of lightly evoking gravity: the Astronomia Tourbillon from Jacob & Co. A few days before the opening of Baselworld 2014, the video of this new piece posted by Jacob Arabo made the buzz and has aroused our curiosity.
Because of the embargo we can only launch some hints that will very soon find answers. The dial could be in Aventurine, serving as a backdrop for a three-dimensional journey through space. We have counted four different satellites gravitating around the dial: the hours and minutes indication, a briolette-cut diamond, a globe - maybe enamelled ? - and a triple-axis tourbillon.
The case looks peculiar - maybe cone-shaped? - and seems to feature a combination of various materials, as shown in the video.
Anyway, let's wait for a couple of days for the complete unveiling of this astonishing wristwatch. Stay tuned!
