According to Jacob & Co., allotted time doesn’t fly, it floats
For the first time in Geneva, the master designers at Jacob & Co. have created an ingenious interpretation of a classic regulator complication, subverting some of the rules of the method in the most striking way.
To keep it simple, a "regulator" is a method of timekeeping (starting with clocks and pocket watches) that separates the functions of hours, minutes, and seconds and displays each function on a separate face on a watch dial.
In fact, due to their inherent accuracy, regulator clocks are often used as real-time references by watchmaking shops, even if they do not produce regulator copy luxury watches themselves.
However, transforming this ancient complication into a luxurious floating power work of art is beyond the reach of ordinary watch brands. No, that’s the job of a brand as eclectic and undisputedly technical as Jacob & Co.

Again, to keep it simple, the new Jacob & Co. Astronomia Régulateur is a 43mm 18k rose gold regulator watch. But, given the house's innovative and decorative tendencies, the "simple" part of its description ends here, as there is much more to the story.
Its floating 3D architecture and signature visual appeal—from component finishes to the vibrant blue and its red and gold colorways—are just the beginning of the extras the Astronomia Régulateur brings to the party. replica Tudor Black Bay
The oversized sapphire faceplate is domed along the top (of course) and curves along the sides of the 18mm-thick case, held in place by the gleaming frame of the red gold case (which features a downward-sloping top flange and an open structure lugs). Think of it like a museum case; it allows you to observe the watch itself.
Still, like all Jacob & Co. timepieces, the Astronomia Régulateur demands closer inspection, a look that reveals some impressive horological innovations to match the clever decoration.

Jacob & Co. Launches New Astronomia Régulateur Lite
Simpler design and even more complex mechanism.
Jacob & Co. recently launched the latest variation of its classic Astronomia review replica watches : the Astronomia Régulateur. Unlike its predecessors using luxurious complications and gargantuan displays, the Régulateur can be a chronograph with a more enhanced design that allows its brilliant time display to take the main stage.
One-minute regulator In last year’s Astronomia Régulateur we found the introduction of a central transporter that completed one turn per minute, a significant departure in the previous 20- or 10-minute cycles. This central buggy housed all the striking ingredients as well as the balance wheel, and so its rotation actually brought on all the preceding components for you to rotate. This feature is not gotten rid of in the latest Astronomia Régulateur.
To take full benefit from the rapid rotation, Jacob & Co. redesigned typically the central support to split the dial into a pair of different subdials: one for your hours and the other for that minutes, similar to a traditional damaging clock in a watchmaking work shop. The combination of these two subdials with the tourbillon creates a three-counter layout reminiscent of a time counter. What makes it unique is all three subdials make a finish rotation around the dial per minute. replica Breitling SuperOcean Watches
Strangely enough, the tourbillon is a bi-axial flying tourbillon. Not only is there its own 60-second period, though the carrier it sits about also completes one wave per minute along a different axis.
In addition to the active display, there is also a seconds sign in the form of a ring on the face. The seconds disc goes around counterclockwise relative to the permanent hand at the six o'clock position to mark often the passage of seconds. It is hard to think of any other replica watches swiss that can provide such aesthetic movement through the rotation on the double one-minute dial.
Design and Structure It’s worth writing that the latest Astronomia Régulateur keeps things simple, without having fancy spinning globes or even stars. The result is a more really serious and minimalist-looking watch in which shows off its technical knowledge better than the older, gaudy Astronomia models. The Astronomia line is slowly transferring towards a more minimalist style. Last year’s Astronomia Wave was also a great sort of this trendy style.
The minimalist design and style is not only reflected on the watch dial, but also on the side of the case. Some sort of transparent window on the side of the watch case truly shows the simple switch and movement inside. This allows rapid rotation to stand out without any interference.

Speaking of leanness, the new JCAM56 movement is usually the brand’s thinnest Astronomia yet. The entire watch, such as case, is just 18mm extra tall, a big improvement over previous models that were 25mm or perhaps taller.
Additionally , the JCAM56 has a thing special: a 1/6 subsequent regulator. This means it works five times faster than a typical pendulum, discharging an electric fee every time the balance wheel advances. This is the fastest regulator on the globe.
According to a meeting with brand watchmaker Bahman Tagharrobi, they made this pendulum to solve a problem with dangerously fast carriers: it requires a lot of electricity to work, which puts excessive pressure on the escapement. For that reason they made this constant latest device to break down the energy straight into smaller fragments to protect the actual movement from damage. Replica Bremont Terra Nova watches
