With diameter of 50 mm Jacob & Co limited edition replica watches, the Astronomia Tourbillon Baguette is a generously sized watch.
Where other watches might be harshly judged by a diameter of this size, the Astronomia uses all this space to create a visual splendor that is, even in today’s world of wild watches, quite unique.
With a diameter of 50 mm, the Astronomia Tourbillon Baguette is a generously sized watch.
Where other watches might be harshly judged by a diameter of this size, the Astronomia uses all this space to create a visual splendor that is, even in today’s world of wild watches, quite unique.
Despite the fact that most of the movement is in fact visible, your brain does not make the connection. It might be the distraction of all the different complications or the realization that you have something very special and precious on your wrist.
What makes this watch even more special is not that it is fitted with a triple-axis tourbillon, but that the triple-axis tourbillon is not the centerpiece of this watch.
In fact, it is actually quite unclear what the centerpiece of this watch might be. Is it the tourbillon or the spherical-cut diamond representing the moon?
Or is it the counter-balancing lacquered magnesium globe opposite that diamond moon?
Let’s also not forget the most practical part of this watch: the small dial displaying the hour and minute that moves around the watch, always remaining upright so it can instantly be read.
The Jacob & Co replica watches are full of movement in both meanings of the term: the tourbillon revolves in 60 seconds around its first axis, takes 5 minutes for the second axis, and turns the whole movement around in 20 minutes. The globe and diamond moon both turn around their axes in 60 seconds, while the indication dial orbits the center axis in 20 minutes.
From these numbers, you can already tell that the Astronomia only shows the time. It does not tell you the current moon phase nor does it utilize the globe to provide world time in a complicated way.
