Great Timing

The love affair between performance automobiles and the artisans at Jacob & Co has spawned another magnificent piece of wearable art in the form of the Twin Turbo Furious timepiece. A collection of 832 hand-assembled components residing in a clear sapphire crystal crafted over a period of 6 months from aluminum oxide, allowing an unimpeded view of the manually-wound mechanism’s complications in activation. The Twin Turbo’s list of features is lengthy and impressive. Tourbillons are rare on watches, yet the Twin Turbo boasts two that are set on either side of the 50-hour power reserve, ensuring accuracy at any angle. A carbon fiber lever on the left side activates another unusual feature — the decimal minute repeater which sounds a gong at 10-minute intervals to help you keep track of time without glancing at the dial. A chapter ring marking 60 seconds surrounds the dial, with an inner Pit Board to measure lap times, making the Twin Turbo an ideal choice for track days and beyond; JacobAndCo.com.
