Jacob & Co Bugatti Chiron Tourbillon x Bugatti Chiron

Jacob & Co BU200.30.AA.AA.B BUGATTI CHIRON TOURBILLON WHITE GOLD replica watch

We often tell you that there is only one step between the world of the car and the world of watchmaking. In this new piece from Watches x Cars, I introduce you to two jewels in their respective industries: the Bugatti Chiron and the most automotive performance of all watches: the Jacob & Co Bugatti Chiron Tourbillon.

Unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show in 2016, the Bugatti Chiron was tasked with replacing the Veyron, which was leaving the market after 14 years in production. The Veyron is the superlative car of all, with a top speed of more than 400 km/h, a price of more than 1 million euros and, most importantly, 4-figure power: 1001 horsepower. It quickly became an automotive legend, but it had to end its long career in 2015 after selling 450 copies.

A year later, the Chiron, named after 1930s Bugatti driver Louis Chiron, was unveiled to the public with much fanfare. It pushes back all the limits previously set by the Veyron: the W16 is pushed to 1500 hp and 1600 Nm of torque, the tachometer reaches 500 km/h and its carbon structure is reinforced with aero parts. To bring it home, it cost twice as much as its predecessor… Soon, more than half of the planned 500 copies found buyers, and Bugatti adjusted the record: 0-400-0 at 41.96 Seconds, 490 km/h top speed. The Chiron is positioned as one of the fastest cars in the world and is gradually launched: Sport, Black, Pur Sport, Supersports 300+…

Notably, it was at the center of the brand’s 110th anniversary celebrations in 2019, with the Chiron Sport 110 Years and its cousin the Centodieci taking over the platform and running gear. https://www.proreviewwatch.co

As for Bugatti, the change of chairman and CEO has brought about earth-shaking changes for the brand, which has developed a habit of releasing a new car every 10 years and a new version every 6 months, and the partnerships that follow. In 2018, Parmigiani Fleurier was responsible for a Divo-related watch whose strap dominated its interior material, as well as several other watches bearing the Bugatti stamp. A year later, Bugatti joins forces with the Jacob & Co manufacturer to create a watch that pushes the limits of modern watchmaking…

The Bugatti Chiron Tourbillon is the name of this engineering marvel born after a year of in-house development. As a reminder, Jacob & Co was founded in 1986 as a manufacturer of jewelry for major brands and a few private clients. In 2002, the artisan made watchmaking history with a luxurious five-time zone watch inspired by the lifestyles of his customers. The first implementation featured 5 different dials in one, representing each of the following time zones: New York, Los Angeles, Tokyo, Paris, with a fifth designed for the time the wearer was in. In 2006, the Quanttin made headlines with its 31-day power reserve and tourbillon mounted on the edge of the dial. at last,

Specializing in horological complications, the brand opened a development center in Switzerland and produced a growing number of pieces, mainly adorned with diamonds. Finally, in April 2020, the Manufacture discreetly announced the release of its latest masterpiece, the Bugatti Chiron Tourbillon. Visually, this is another watch with a skeletonized dial, but if we look closer, this one houses a miniature replica of the Chiron’s W16 engine. A totally crazy idea that we really like.

The automotive approximation doesn’t stop there, with the famous horseshoe grille embossed with the Bugatti logo on top of the titanium case. The movement is held there by a suspension, again inspired by the automotive world, while the 60-hour power reserve is simply indicated by a fuel gauge to the left of the dial.

The imposing side of the case (diameter 54 mm, thickness 44 mm), the separation of the titanium case and the hollow sapphire imitates the separation of the Chiron, which is the most beautiful effect.

Let’s go back to pure technology and talk about the JCAM37 movement. Its tourbillon, positioned 30° above the clock, provides a power reserve of 60 hours at 21,600 vibrations per hour. While this is the first demonstration of fine watchmaking craftsmanship, the most intriguing is the automatic that sits beneath the tiny W16 engine that moves it. Cut from sapphire and featuring 16 articulated pistons connected by crankshafts that are activated when the corresponding buttons are pressed, this is an impressive mechanism consisting of 578 parts and 51 jewels . The animation then lasts 20 seconds and can be activated 3 times before it has to be wound by the central barrel.

Personally, I especially appreciate the effort the manufacturer put into the details of the W16. As the madness of the Chiron continues, this watch is sure to mark the history of watchmaking in the same way that Bugatti marked the history of the car. As for the aesthetics, of course it’s not the prettiest watch on the market, but I find the readability is still very accurate thanks to the colored hands. The watch is available in three different finishes (titanium black, brushed DLC titanium, rose gold) and I must admit that I am slightly partial to the brushed titanium with the blue dial.

Hublot Spirit of Big Bang

HUBLOT 601.CI.0110.RX SPIRIT OF BIG BANG ALL BLACK replica watch

Hands-on: Hublot Spirit of Big Bang Tourbillon Carbon Black and Blue Watch

While Jean-Claude Biver was still operating Hublot, the brand released an interesting new model in 2011, which was the result of various challenges. Jean-Claude Biver said that someone challenged him to make a Hublot version of Richard Mille, which is a more luxurious watch brand. Richard Mille (Richard Miller) and Jean Claude Beaver are not real competitors because most of their products compete at different prices. Likewise, these two brands have more in common than most other luxury watch brands, simply because Hublot and Richard Mille focus on more modern designs, and mutual respect for interactive and innovative marketing strategies and consumption.

I think back to 2011 when Jean-Claude Biver (Jean-Claude Biver) made his debut in Geneva, his name was Hublot Masterpiece . Hublot later opened up a new series of high-end watches in the Masterpiece series, including this wine barrel case model and other products. The model with this case design was later called Hublot MP-6. Later, the Big Bang case of this wine barrel was further clarified and named Hublot “Spirit Of Big Bang”-this is the same for all Hublot models. There is a case style with the name of this watch case today.

For many years, Hublot has been dealing with case size and has provided a variety of movement options in Spirit Of Big Bang, from various internal movements to Zenith El Primero chronograph movements (Zenith and Hublot are both part of the LVMH luxury group ). Today, I take a look at the modern Hublot Spirit Of Big Bang watch, which is as modern and luxurious as the original Hublot Masterpiece. Today’s hands-on operation on cheapestwrist.co is the Hublot Spirit Of Bang Tourbillon Carbon 42mm Carbon Blue and Carbon Black. The reference number 645.QN.1117.RX is the spirit of the Big Bang tourbillon 42mm carbon black, and the reference standard is 645.QL.7117.RX. Both are limited to 100 pieces.

The width of the wine barrel box is 42mm, which is actually quite large, I would say that this size is as big as I want. In other words, the maximum width of the Spirit Of Big Bang series is 45 mm, and the maximum width of the female model is 39 mm. The image in this article is of a Hublot watch on David Bredan’s wrist-not me, but in fact he and I share more or less the same wrist size (yes, we can exchange watches), So you can get a good understanding of how to wear the 42mm wide Spirit of Big Bang shell.

For the case material, Hublot mixed titanium and a special style of carbon fiber. The color of the carbon fiber is black and gray, and the color of the carbon fiber model is black and blue. One of the reasons why I spend a lot of time talking about the history of Richard Mille and the Spirit of Big Bang is that Hublot is once again offering carbon fiber as the case material to a higher level of luxury Brand tribute. In recent years, Richard Mille (Richard Mille) has been focusing on this field. By the way, the case is waterproof to 30 meters (so, please don’t swim with it).

Carbon is a peculiar luxury case material, but this material itself is not high-end. It is the special formula and processing process that can make the carbon more or less luxurious. This material is valued for its durability and relatively light weight. In the luxury sector, carbon is the most popular because it can achieve interesting and usually colorful organic surface textures. This is true for timepieces and overall fashion. My theory is that in the world of man-made materials and man-made computer designs that don’t always seem to be life-like, with perfect appearance, organic textures can help many of today’s products get closer to humans. In any case, in today’s fashion world, otherwise the organic textures and patterns on the surface of pragmatism are very hot things-I think there are good reasons for this.

a new Spirit Of Big Bang watch with a tourbillon movement inside. The last one I remember was the “Big Bang Moon Phase, Chronograph and Mecha-10” model. The return to the tourbillon movement, the appearance of the hollow dial and the mechanical device is another welcome to us to see more high-end mechanical luxury swiss watches released before 2012.
