Jacob & Co.

Jacob & Co. is renowned for being unconventional whilst retaining its elegant persona. Deriving its roots from the gem-setting traditions, the brand unleashed timepieces that defied the common grounds of watchmaking. One such set of timepieces to come out of the brand's doors was the Jacob & Co. Astronomia collection. Launched in 2014, the Astronomia collection is a beautiful reinterpretation of celestial bodies and the universe. As per the founder of the brand, Jacob Arabo, “Astronomia was inspired by the universe and all the ideas and wonderment of celestial bodies.” The centre stage of the collection is the Astronomia calibre. This unique, patented mechanical ballet is equipped with four vertical arms that are powered by a central axis which also powers the vertical arms in a clockwise motion. The collection also features the proprietary 288-faceted-Jacob-Cut diamond. This diamond is exactly the same weight as the globe, tourbillon, and time display as this is important to maintain the equilibrium of the movement.
