Jacob & Co. X Bugatti Chiron Tourbillon
Supercars meet superwatches.replica Jacob & Co. Bugatti Chiron
The Bugatti Chiron is Bugatti's latest take on extreme automotive engineering, and it seems like a love-it-or-hate-it proposition for car enthusiasts. When the Veyron first came out, I had a chance to experience it, and while I'm pretty sure I'm as far away from its target population as possible and still be part of the Homo sapiens species, I think it's a ton (well, more accurate It's fun to say two tons and change), and I'm glad it exists.
I feel the same way about Jacob & Co.'s watchmaking. The company continues to practice a craft of watchmaking that many have tried but few have succeeded in: minimalist, irrepressible top-of-the-line timepieces that are just tools for timekeeping by the way. These were and are wrist-worn mechanical fantasies, perhaps more similar to traditional watches than mechanical entertainment such as automata.watches moon
The most recent partnership between Bugatti and Jacob & Co. has just given birth to one of the most exciting watches I've seen in a long time: the Bugatti Chiron Tourbillon. The Chiron is a pure oversport - the heart of the car is its massive, mid-chassis-mounted 8-liter W16 engine that pumps out - grab your shorts, Gertrude - 1,479 horsepower, effortlessly Propel the car to an electronically limited top speed of 261 mph.
The Bugatti Chiron Tourbillon natürlich is also a pure oversport. Einstein's theory of special relativity stemmed from asking a very simple but insightful question: "What would the world look like if you were riding on a beam of light?" The Bugatti Chiron tourbillon also came from asking an equally simple And the deep question: "If you make a tiny working mechanical model of a W16 engine in a Bugatti Chiron and put it in a watch, what do you get, oh we should probably put a tourbillon in it, don't forget Turbo?" You get a Bugatti Chiron tourbillon.cheap Greubel Forsey watches
As the saying goes, "just as it says on the tin". This is indeed a tourbillon watch with Brobdingnagian weight and massive punch - 54mm x 44mm. But then, the basic size becomes trivial compared to the actual watch. The case is occupied by the JCAM37 hand-wound movement with a tourbillon regulator and an honest Betsy work W16 engine, which occupies at least half the volume of the case. You push an actuator on the side of the housing, the crankshaft turns, the pistons move, and the micro-turbocharger starts to spin.
If ever there was a watch that needed to be appreciated in action, this is it. It goes without saying that you can only judge a watch from a photo, not in the metal. Indeed, to understand the impact of this watch, you have to see it in action.
In a famous quote from the movie Jurassic Park, chaos mathematician Ian Malcolm berates the dinosaur makers, shouting: "Your scientists are so preoccupied with whether they can do it, they don't stop to think about whether they should! "Of course, the truth is that the moment you look at the T-Rex, you're on the side of the dinosaur makers -- the institutional ethics review board be damned, making dinosaurs is cool. I feel the same way about this cheap luxury watches. Of course, it has no reason to exist. It's a pretty untenable way to blow out a million dollars, no doubt, like a Chiron blows out four (or more, though, at this point, who's counting?).
However, it is also a firm middle finger in the face of the unimaginative and timid incrementalism characteristic of high-end Swiss watchmaking. Well, bien sûr, it's a $280,000 car-themed watch; so what? Overpriced car-themed watches are a dime a dozen, and we all know what most of them look like. A little carbon fiber here, some rubber there, a perforated strap with colorful stitching, and voila, a car-themed watch. Such a single-minded effort to produce a tiny working engine - using a solid synthetic sapphire engine block, by the way - sets a new high standard for making automotive-adjacent timepieces. I will never own a Chiron or this watch, but I cannot applaud the combination of imagination and sheer recklessness it has to take to make it happen.fake grand seiko
