  Jacob & Co. Bugatti Chiron Tourbillon with W16 Engine

  Last year, we saw Jacob & Co. enter into an impressive partnership with supercar giant Bugatti. Now, the first ultra-high-end, fully custom watch that Jacob & Co. has created in partnership with Bugatti is making its debut: the Jacob & Co. Bugatti Chiron Tourbillon. It’s exactly what you’d expect: an extremely complicated watch with another of Jacob & Co’s signature automatics, this time with a working miniature W16 engine inside, mimicking the 16-cylinder engine that powers the Bugatti Chiron.

  Cut to the chase, the star of the Jacob & Co. Bugatti Chiron Tourbillon replica watch reviews is its incredible JCAM37 movement. It’s made up of 578 parts and 51 jewels, and measures 41.7 x 36 mm – that’s the movement, not the case. Functions include traditional hours and minutes, a one-minute tourbillon tilted 30 degrees toward the wearer, a sapphire W16 engine block that can animate the pistons and crankshaft on demand, and a power reserve indicator at 8 o’clock. The skeletonized barrel at 3 o’clock isn’t quite a power reserve indicator, but it allows you to visually gauge the remaining tension in the barrel for the animation.

  With its four corners suspended, the JCAM37 makes the Bugatti Chiron Tourbillon the leader in “floating” movement watches. (The TAG Heuer Monaco 24, launched in 2009, the Glashütte Original Sport Evolution Impact, and the Richard Miller RM 27 are among the most complex.) The most complex of these, of course, are the solutions from Jacob & Co. and Richard Miller. As for the Bugatti Chiron Tourbillon, the entire movement resonates while suspended in mid-air while the three connected crown stems remain stationary, which forced Jacob & Co. to develop and patent an automotive-style lateral system that prevents the crown stems from breaking when the movement is shaken. replica luxury watches

  There are three stems on the back of the case: the left one is for setting the time (if you really care), the middle one for winding (clockwise), and the animation (counterclockwise). The right stem serves as a button to start the animation.

  The animation lasts about 20 seconds and can be used three times, after which the dedicated spring needs to be rewound. This is standard operation for animation functions that require a lot of energy. To give you an idea of ​​the energy consumption, while a barrel of the same size can provide energy for the watch for 2-3 days, the load of the W16 engine only allows for about a minute of operation. fake watches for sale

  I wish Jacob & Co. would share more technical pictures and views of the sapphire engine block and its pistons. True car enthusiasts (at least some of Bugatti's customers are like this) will appreciate the crankshaft inside the block, which is made from a single piece of stainless steel. When a button on the back of the case is pressed, the barrel dedicated to the animation begins to turn at a very fast speed, driving a crankshaft through a series of gears, which in turn drives 16 pistons up and down in perfect rhythm and geometry.

  The flying tourbillon on the front is a completely new design, unlike any previous tourbillons, according to Jacob & Co. While it is not a multi-axis version like many other complications, it is mounted and driven at a 30° angle to provide better viewing when the watch is worn on the wrist and, according to Greubel Forsey, a pioneer of tilted tourbillons, it provides better chronometric performance than tourbillons on the same plane. replica Richard Mille Extra Flat

  The far end of the case mimics the front grille design of the Bugatti Chiron, with the iconic horseshoe grille and the Bugatti logo in white on a red background. The Jacob & Co. Bugatti Chiron Tourbillon case measures 54 x 44 x 20 mm, is made of titanium with a black DLC coating, and is water-resistant to 3 bar. The Bugatti Chiron car is better able to withstand a rainstorm than the watch it was built for—but that’s all good.

  One impressive feat that shouldn’t go unnoticed is the speed with which Jacob & Co. accomplished it: it says the development of the Bugatti Chiron Tourbillon “took almost a year.” Sometimes we get the sense that big brands would spend so much time picking out a new dial color, but assembling 578 parts in the right order to create a W16 engine that fits on your wrist is certainly a feat. replica Graham Chronofighter Vintage watches
