Jacob & Co Bugatti Tourbillon

Jacob & Co. continues its collaboration with Bugatti with the launch of the extraordinary Bugatti Tourbillon, inspired by Bugatti’s latest hypercar innovations.

The partnership between Jacob & Co. and Bugatti has yielded yet another marvel in watchmaking: the Bugatti Tourbillon. Building on the success of the Chiron Tourbillon, this timepiece embodies the essence of automotive excellence and horological mastery. Crafted in sleek black-PVD titanium, mirroring Bugatti's muscular aesthetics, the watch features intricate details reminiscent of the hypercar's design elements, such as the front grille and sapphire side windows.

At 52mm x 44mm, the Bugatti Tourbillon is robust yet slightly smaller than its predecessor, the Chiron Tourbillon. The sapphire crystals on the case reveal a miniature V16 engine, paying homage to Bugatti’s latest technological marvels. The dial showcases a 30-second flying tourbillon, the brand's fastest to date, alongside retrograde indicators for hours and minutes, mimicking the hypercar’s dashboard. A power reserve indicator ensures optimal functionality, with separate barrels powering the timekeeping and automaton functions.

The highlight of the Bugatti Tourbillon is its automaton feature—a mesmerizing miniature V16 engine crafted from a single block of sapphire. Activated by a push-piece integrated into the crown, the engine animates with the crankshaft and pistons moving realistically, a spectacle lasting 20 seconds with each activation.

Inside ticks the Jacob & Co JCAM55 movement, comprising 557 parts and offering a 48-hour power reserve. The meticulous craftsmanship of both the timing mechanism and automaton exemplifies haute horlogerie at its finest.

Limited to 250 pieces, like its namesake hypercar, the Bugatti Tourbillon is a testament to exclusivity and innovation. Each watch can be personalized through a digital configurator, allowing enthusiasts to tailor elements from the case to the strap.

Priced at USD 340,000, the Bugatti Tourbillon epitomizes the fusion of automotive engineering and horological artistry.
