As I mentioned, as the first Jacob & Co. × Bugatti collaboration, the Chiron Tourbillon is a uniquely transformative replica swiss watches. It’s perhaps better described as pure performance art on the wrist, with a miniature sapphire crystal W16 engine block with titanium valves and tiny functional turbochargers that burst into life, accurately simulating the function of the Chiron’s massive powerplant. Add to that a 30-degree tilted tourbillon and, in some cases, a full sapphire crystal case, and the effect is undeniably impressive.
But Jacob & Co.’s new collaboration raises the bar, creating a sapphire V16 engine that can run for 20 seconds at a time and 10 cycles before the watch needs to be rewound. It also features one of the most innovative time displays, with a uniquely shaped control panel that features, from left to right, the watch’s flying tourbillon, the bi-retrograde hour and minute display, and the power reserve of the movement and miniature engine.
These elements are typical of Jacob Arabo and represent his advancement in the world of horology. The tourbillon rotates once every 30 seconds, making it the fastest rotating single-axis tourbillon the brand has ever made. The rationale behind the 30-second tourbillon is that a faster-spinning cage gives you greater shock resistance. The hour is indicated by a precisely jumping hand that rotates over 270 degrees. Both hands are retrograde indicators, meaning they jump back to “zero”. replica Jacob & Co. Epic x Chrono
“This is a reference to the tachymeter of a tourbillon supercar,” says Benjamin Arabov. “But the way we designed the hands meant that this was a double retrograde indicator, and we had to make sure that the power remained stable even when both hands were jumping at the same time.” Finally, the twin indicators for the movement’s 48-hour power reserve and the engine’s 200-second power reserve are coaxially mounted on the same wheel, but are easily distinguishable. “The movement and the engine can be wound very easily using the crown at six o’clock,” says Benjamin Arabov.
Looking at the shape of the black DLC-coated grade 5 titanium case of the new Jacob & Co. Bugatti Tourbillon, your eye is immediately drawn to the distinctive features of the Bugatti Tourbillon’s powerful exterior. The shape of the front grille is immediately recognisable, as are the side radiator inlets and the huge side windows made of sapphire crystal.
“Collaborating with Jacob & Co. on the Bugatti Tourbillon has been extremely rewarding,” says Jan Schmid, Chief Exterior Designer at Bugatti. “Our goal was to translate the essence of Bugatti’s latest super sports car into a watch with the same enduring appeal. The end result is a watch that captures the essence of beauty and craftsmanship.” It’s worth mentioning that the new Jacob & Co. Bugatti Tourbillon measures 52 mm × 44 mm × 15 mm and is very comfortable and ergonomic on the wrist. The size sounds larger than it actually is due to the lack of lugs, but the new watch wears on par with classic Richard Mille models. breitling replica watches
“The collaboration between Jacob and Bugatti works because both brands are on the same level and pursue the same goal, which is to achieve the highest level of creativity and performance without compromise,” said the renowned watch collector, Bugatti owner and Jacob evangelist. “It doesn’t surprise me that this new watch is inspired by Jacob’s watch and the technical details come to life, because he did it in a visually striking and exciting way.”
“Jacob & Co. is ushering in a new era in automotive watchmaking. We are building on the huge success of the Bugatti Chiron Tourbillon and keeping with the same philosophy as Bugatti Automobiles. This highly complex and powerful watch sets the highest standards for innovation, design integration and exciting watchmaking.”
Jacob’s Automaton Language
To understand why the Bugatti Tourbillon is so ambitious, you first need to understand the character of the man who bears the brand’s name. In my 2022 article on Jacob, I explained that Jacob Arabo conveyed the American Dream so powerfully that America would have to invent him if he didn’t exist. He immigrated from Uzbekistan with his family and became their main supporter by the age of 17. While still a teenager, he went from working in a jewelry factory to designing and making jewelry to becoming the go-to jeweler for the entire hip-hop community. His uniqueness lies in creating the contemporary streetwear designs they all desire, but at an incredibly high quality. luxury replica watches
Watch journalist David Chokron said: “What is incredible about Jacob is his relentless pursuit of higher quality, more ambitious projects, and his fearlessness in embarking on seemingly impossible things with the intelligence, tenacity and pursuit of perfection that are the foundation of his success.”
Not content with creating the music world’s most beloved watch, his famous Five Time Zone, Jacob set his sights on true Haute Horlogerie excellence, which he achieved with watches like the Astronomia, the most dynamic micro-mechanical pyrotechnic theatre in the industry, the Godfather Tourbillon Musical and the Twin Turbo Furious, an absolutely insane double triple-axis tourbillon with decimal minute repeater and chronograph. Jacob and his son Benjamin, who joined the company as CEO in 2021, are open to working with the best external Swiss experts in high complications, from Concepto to Le Cercle des Horlogers.
As his horological voice matures and his watchmaking vision crystallizes, one of Jacob Arabo’s focuses has been to translate the concepts of automata into the language of the modern world and give them new meaning. The word "automaton" comes from the Greek word "automatos", which means "self-acting". They are miniature figurines that perform some repetitive actions, which were integrated into tower clocks in Europe in the mid-14th century. In 1770, a Swiss watchmaker named Pierre Jaquet-Droz rose to fame for creating a series of automata that could perform very human-like actions, such as reproducing one’s own signature. Since the 1990s, automata have appeared on watches to create dial animations, accompanying traditional complications such as minute repeaters. Richard Mille RM 16-02 Automatic Extraflat
"I loved the idea of a watch that runs on its own and performs a series of complex movements, as if it were operating on its own will," says Jacob. "But my problem was that the automatics I saw on watches were always old-fashioned. They were so old-fashioned; they were not cool. When I had the opportunity to develop a watch with Bugatti, the world’s greatest supercar company, I was determined to create a movement that featured the famous 16-cylinder engine, but that was fully functional and could run on its own at the push of a button." The movement that Jacob conceived for the Chiron watch is a perfect replica of the car manufacturer’s famous 16-cylinder turbocharged engine, although here it is driven by a 30-degree inclined one-minute tourbillon.
Like its predecessor, the engine of the new Bugatti Tourbillon watch is made of transparent sapphire crystal and has 16 individual cylinders inside. Each cylinder is equipped with a functional piston that moves up and down, pushed by a miniature crankshaft. When you start the watch, all the pistons begin to fire, perfectly replicating the actual engine of the Bugatti Chiron.
Jacob says: “I wanted this watch to bear the ultimate resemblance to the Chiron, without losing its unique beauty. But look at the workmanship of the movement, look at the polishing and workmanship of the case. I want to make watches that will please the man who has everything, including the Bugatti Tourbillon, but I want to make them in an authentic way, respecting all the traditional watchmaking techniques and finishing.”
Valérien Jaquet, founder and CEO of Concepto and Jacob’s partner on both Bugatti watches, says: “I have never met anyone who challenges me as much as Jacob. But in a positive way. He always encourages me to explore the limits of what is possible, and sometimes even go beyond them. In our One Minute Astronomy watch, he insisted that the watch frame complete one rotation in 60 seconds. This forced me to create a constant force mechanism on the escapement. For the new Bugatti watch, he wanted to create our most visually dynamic watch to date, while even more strongly evoking elements of the new tourbillon super sports car.” replica Patek Philippe Watches
Seamless Design Integration
The adventure for this new watch began two years ago in 2022 . Bugatti privately began work on its latest model, the Tourbillon, designed to succeed its hugely successful Chiron model, with a new engine, a new design, and unprecedented levels of engineering and luxury. By January 2023, Jacob & Co. visited Bugatti’s design studio, where founder Jacob Arabo, CEO Benjamin Arabov, and his team collaborated with the Bugatti design team, led by Achim Anscheidt and Jan Schmid. The meeting resulted in a seamless fusion of automotive and watch design, culminating in the Bugatti Tourbillon, an extraordinary timepiece that took 18 months to create and develop, showcasing the innovative synergy between two of the world’s most transformative brands.

"This is our second major technical launch this year, following the highly acclaimed Astronomia Regulator. The new Bugatti Tourbillon inherits all the incredible visual and technical firepower of the previous watch, and adds a truly innovative display function in a very wearable size," said Benjamin Arabov. high quality replica watches
"Working closely with Bugatti has been a most exciting experience," said Jacob Arabov. "I am committed to pushing watchmaking to new heights, creating designs and complications that people never dreamed of. The same is true with Bugatti. They push everything beyond what people thought was the limit. The Bugatti Tourbillon is our most advanced timepiece and a great achievement of a great collaboration."
"Working with Jacob & Co. on the Bugatti Tourbillon allowed us to really focus on the subtle details that go into creating an outstanding design," said Achim Anscheidt, Senior Advisor at Bugatti. "When designing our super sports cars, we follow Ettore Bugatti’s motto, ‘Nothing is too beautiful,’ and this is the approach we have applied here. The Jacob & Co. Bugatti Tourbillon is a horological celebration of a new era for Bugatti, focusing on the timeless fascination of the mechanical world."
