Jacob & Co. Astronomia Solar Jewelry Planets Zodiac White Gold

Since its debut at Baselworld in 2014, Jacob & Co.'s Astronomia collection has become a hallmark of innovation and luxury in watchmaking. The original Astronomia Tourbillon introduced a groundbreaking design with its planetary-style movement, featuring arms that carry movement components around the dial. This pioneering concept laid the foundation for numerous subsequent models, showcasing the series' evolution and enduring appeal.

Avant-Garde Design

Each timepiece features a unique Astronomia calibre, where the movement is driven by vertical arms rotating around a central axis, creating a mesmerising mechanical ballet. The collection features intricate 3D engravings on a rotating platform that displays hand-crafted dragons, constellations, Jacob-cut gemstones, and more. The design of the Astronomia watches provides an unobstructed 360-degree view of the intricate movement, allowing admirers to appreciate the complex mechanisms from every angle.
