Bitcoin’s journey is told through the highly complex timepiece. The watch is rich with complications, in true Jacob & Co style.
A highly complex timepiece from Jacob & Co marks the intersection between horology’s history and the burgeoning world of cryptocurrency with its new Astronomia Solar Bitcoin watch.
With a titanium 44-mm case and an adapted version of its classic movement, the Astronomia Solar Bitcoin is the latest model in the highly coveted Astronomica collection. This case is as hard as diamond and as black as coal due to Diamond Like Carbon processing, which coats the metal in crystallized carbon atoms.
With no less than 444 elements, the watch is a masterpiece of Jacob & Co complexity. Set on two rotating platforms, the illustrative timepiece celebrates crypto and its evolution from financial outlier to financial mainstay.
The dial features a golden Earth, a diamond moon, a yellow sapphire sun and a miniature rocket ship, all set against a delicately decorated flying tourbillon.
Below the rotating mainplate is a fitting integrated circuit microchip design built on three arms of the second platform.
During every 10 minutes, the top platform rotates around the movement’s center, propelling its background counterclockwise at the same time. In addition to this level of animation, the watch’s mainplate is also rotated every 11 minutes on its own axis.
With a single sapphire crystal window surrounding the entire rotating structure, the magic inside is unobstructed. Black alligator straps provide unrivaled comfort.
Approximately $348k in real-world value, this groundbreaking timepiece is only available in 25 pieces and payment is accepted through Bitcoin or altcoins of the buyers’ choice.
There is now an Astronomia Solar Bitcoin timepiece available from Jacob & Co.
