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.
Sapphire case, super lengthy power, Hublot replica watches swiss , it is " too explosive"
Although, Hublot's modern-day watchmaking style is not suitable to everyone. But for myself, I not only accept that, but Hublot is also the most famous watches I use.
Hublot's entry level and high-end models are incredibly different. For example , entry-level products have always used ETA/SW universal movements, while high end complex models can be near complex watches such as Patek Philippe and Vacheron Constantin. In the past few years, the ones I have put on the most are the Big Bang UNICO Chronograph and the Big Bang MECA 10. Included in this, there is a Hublot complex watch that I have always loved very much. It is what I would like to talk to you about nowadays, the Hublot Big Bang BIG BANG MP-11.
Hublot's complex designs are often not available in conventional watchmaking such as Patek Philippe and Vacheron Constantin. jacob and co watch replica
Hublot is actually a famous watch brand that has been established in 1980. It absolutely was acquired in 2008. That belongs to the LV Group combined with TAG Heuer, Zenith along with Bulgari, and has become the highest-positioned famous watch in the LV Group. Therefore , Hublot have been following the modern watchmaking type from the beginning. Therefore , in addition to the standard complex functions such as second repeater, perpetual calendar in addition to tourbillon, Hublot can constantly " ingeniously" launch " innovative functions" that classic watchmaking such as Patek Philippe and Vacheron Constantin are deprived of, such as long power.
Hublot's long energy is not the 7-day very long power of IWC Portuguese seven, but directly pulls the strength to " tens of days", such as Hublot's most famous MP-05 " Lafa" (Ferrari assistance model), which has a power of 50 days and is powered simply by 11 barrels. A special " small electric drill" should be used to wind the watch. Adding aside the public price of 2 . not 4 million at that time, it is huge " Iron Man" -like case alone is just not a watch prepared for day-to-day wear. Therefore , Hublot developed the " super extended power" into a Hublot replica watches online that can be worn regular, which is the Big Bang MP-11, with a power of 14 days.
MP-11 first employs the Hublot Big Bang case, and the size is diminished to 45 mm, which can be now a normal size regarding daily wear. The rounded bezel has H-shaped anchoring screws on the bezel and a couple of " small ears" to both sides of the case. MP-11 provides various cases, including carbon fibre cases and ceramic circumstances, and the highest is the translucent sapphire case.
It is no exaggeration to state that Hublot's ceramic event and sapphire case technological innovation are the " top" between Swiss watches. Hublot not merely solved the problem of yellowing of early sapphire conditions after a long time, but also includes a full range of colored see-through sapphires. This water azure sapphire model is the leading configuration. Even the former chief executive of Patek Philippe (the father of the current director, Thierry Stein) once mentioned in an interview that the reasons why Patek Philippe does not help to make new materials such as ceramics is that brands like Hublot are very advanced in fresh materials, and Patek Philippe does not need to dabble in them.
Although the power reserve involving Hublot MP-11 is minimized to 14 days, it is continue to the watch with the longest strength in the market. In order to support typically the 14-day power, MP-11 functions 7 barrels. The several barrels are connected inside series and directly put in the 45mm case, living in the lower half of the entire watch dial, and the essence of this see lies here. The 8 standing barrels rush out from the case, so the watch hand mirror and bezel are all brought up at the spring, wrapping often the protruding barrels to form a massive curved surface. The views brought by the super longer power of 14 days and the curled surface has become an art. grand seiko replica
At the front from the 7 barrels is the electrical power display of MP-11. Typically the drum-type power display is important down from 14 days. From your back of the watch, you can see an extra-long transmission shaft works through the entire movement from the the queen's and connects to the entrance of the 7 barrels. Échappée MP-11 can normally fasten the crown to wind flow the watch. But because it is pretty " tiring" to the wind the 7 barrels manually ,, a " winding pen" is also provided, which can be put into the crown and injure with an electric " rotating pen". Then the question will be:
How to transmit energy to the 7 " standing" barrels?
This is certainly another key technology connected with Hublot MP-11, 90-degree control gear transmission. Transmit electric power from the vertical spring for the horizontal gear above the drive.
We can see the frontmost barrel of the 6 barrels (the barrel around the right of the power storage) has " inclined teeth"; the huge horizontal gear on the barrel also has special pearly whites. Through the two " specific teeth", the " standing" barrel and the " horizontal" gear mesh with each other, as well as the power is transmitted. I actually circled the 90-degree spin out of control gear transmission part as well as marked the power transmission journey, so that you can see it at a glance.
In the upper area of the dial, the hour and also minute dial of the observe is in the center. On the left side in the hour and minute switch is a large gear motivated by a 90-degree spiral items, and on the right side on the hour and minute call is a balance escapement. Shaped. MP-11 uses a silicon escapement wheel and a silicon escapement fork. The blue-purple si material is very conspicuous. Often the silicon escapement is mild, does not require lubricating necessary oil, has high operating performance, and is also anti-magnetic. At the same time, you see that the speed needle with the hairspring uses Hublot's " H" shape. replica Patek Philippe Watches
In terms of particulars, Hublot has always been focusing on current style, with a large number of hollowed-out dials and movement interior decor mainly sandblasted and cleaned. With a transparent sapphire scenario and a complex movement construction, it can be appreciated from virtually any angle. Luxury, complexity, along with coolness are all concentrated about this watch at this moment. MP-11 exhibits a completely different artistic accomplishment from traditional watchmaking like Patek Philippe and Vacheron Constantin.
With the upper and lower ends of the case, you can find two trapezoidal buttons, which can be Hublot's big bang speedy release buttons. Press these and the strap pops out there. Now Hublot has prepared the Big Bang with various connectors, including tape, canvas together with Velcro, and various colors. One touch quick release allows you to swap straps at any time, which is extremely convenient.
Within the level of Hublot MP-11, accurate, durability, and cost-effectiveness are usually meaningless. At this level, everything we need is the unique characteristics of each and every famous watch brand. For instance , Patek Philippe 5172 in addition to Lange DATO have taken handbook timing to the extreme; Vacheron Constantin's Across the World and Audemars Piguet's Royal Oak can easily both provide luxurious athletics tourbillon. Hublot MP-11's ultra-long power and colorful blue case are different from all regular watchmaking brands, and there is simply no similar product that can buy a new toothbrush. Traditional watchmaking usually has its own options, but in the field of contemporary watchmaking, Hublot's complex watches are often unique. replica Audemars Piguet Royal Oak
