Palatial Flying Tourbillon Minute Repeater
Jacob & Co revisits its origins in sound-based watchmaking with the Palatial Flying Tourbillon Minute Repeater. This latest iteration features a new JCCM04 caliber, a redesigned 60-second flying tourbillon, and a translucent red mineral dial, continuing the brand's tradition of complex chiming watches.
- Limited to 12 pieces
- Price: USD 390,000
The watch features a new JCCM04 caliber, an update from the original JCBM03, with improvements in manufacturing and assembly quality.
It incorporates a 60-second flying tourbillon with a redesigned cage and hand-polished angles.
The translucent red mineral dial offers a view of the dial-side mechanism, accented by red gold hardware.
Hands are shaped like a metronome, a distinctive design element for the brand.
The minute repeater is activated by a slide at nine o'clock, with two hammers striking twin gongs that extend around the movement for a richer sound.
A centrifugal governor engineered to be more silent reduces mechanical interference with the chime.
The 43mm rose gold case measures 12.3mm tall and features a broad polished bezel and lugs reminiscent of the Epic X collection.
This release marks Jacob & Co's return to its origins in sound-based watchmaking, dating back to the first Palatial Flying Minute Repeater in 2014.
