The conquest of space has never been a hotter topic in watchmaking discussions than in 2022. Distinguishing itself by its refinement and sophistication, Jacob & Co. is entering the metaverse by presenting a series of timepieces dedicated to the planets of the solar system, in the form of physical watches and NFTs. Among them is the Astronomia Metaverso Earth, on which the colors of the stones and minerals refer to the tree-covered, arid and aquatic surfaces on Planet Earth. Arranged on an asymmetrical dome reflecting the singular shape of the continents, these stones are a reminder of just how precious our planet is. Artworks of a new kind, the NFTs are not only aesthetically pleasing, but also have a hidden power, which will enable their holders to benefit from passes for exclusive physical and digital events and activities. A whole new universe is opening up.
