Launches of Astronomia Revolution
Jacob & Co presents at Geneva watch week Looking ever deeper in space, Astronomia is shaking up contemporary watchmaking with radical performance: Astronomia Revolution reaches terminal velocity and revolves around its own axis in one minute. Housed in a sculptural, 47 mm case made of sapphire and gold, Astronomia Revolution is powered by an all-new movement, designed to deliver high speed, high accuracy and high entertainment efficiency. Caliber JCAM48B spins in 60 seconds, bearing a double-axis flying tourbillon, with a third axis which is the movement itself. Mastering this speed requires a patented, innovative constant force device, harnessing the massive energy generated by Astronomia Revolution. This bright star of contemporary watchmaking reflects both light and Jacob & Co.'s unique sense of narration. Underneath the revolving satellite carriage lies a curved, red gold, 18-mirror array inspired by the James Webb Space Telescope. Astronomia Revolution al
