JACOB&CO. TWIN TURBO-TOURBILLON minute repair station

Posted on by

Jacob & Co. luxury was established in New York City in 1986 and celebrated its 30th anniversary in 2016. To commemorate this milestone of innovation and excellence, the company launched a sporty Grande Complication watch model that reflects the brand’s expertise and youthful vitality.

Twin Turbo made its debut at the Basel International Watch and Jewellery Fair this year, combining two three-axis tourbillons and a minute repeater. Through the balance system, the tourbillon maintains a constant speed, each cycle of 40 seconds, 3 minutes and 8 minutes, rotating symmetrically at a similar speed. The minute repeater with the cathedral gong emits a loud and resonant chime, providing a modern method of timekeeping-doing so every 10 minutes instead of following the traditional 15-minute time frame of watchmaking. There is also a safety system to prevent collisions at the set time.

Two tourbillons and a minute repeater box are housed in a uniquely shaped case. The rare Grande Complication is equipped with 63 parts. Its sporty appearance incorporates titanium and carbon on its exterior, making it ultra-lightweight. Inspired by the extraordinary car design, its flange is decorated with red neoalithethe, and smoked sapphire crystal leads to its impressive engine with two three-axis tourbillons. discount replica watches

The transparent bottom cover reveals the abstract structure of the triangle in the hollow metal. Founder Jacob Jacobo’s dear, this pattern symbolizes stability, spirituality and determination, and has an iconic meaning in the house of Jacob & Co..
