Jacob & Co. celebrates Jean Bugatti with watches

zelin0802 / July 1, 2023

The limited edition Jean Bugatti watch pays homage to this extraordinary innovator, representing his avant-garde and artistic interpretation of the car. Just as Jean Bugatti’s car designs challenged established trends, so does the watch of the same name. It is one of the most complicated timepieces released in recent years, entering territory that Jacob & Co. had never explored. Jean Bugatti is possibly the most demanding watchmaking project Jacob & Co. has ever undertaken.

The development and manufacture of Jean Bugatti faced a series of serious challenges. Consisting of 470 parts in total, the delicate, slim design of many of them is remarkable considering the enormous pressure and force they are subjected to. The complexity of managing the forces and energy within the movement is immediately apparent when the caseback is lifted. The movement’s architecture is three-dimensional, a sight to behold in itself.

It has a round case, round bezel, short delicate lugs, mushroom pushers, and a fully polished rose or white gold case. With its elegant cursive numerals, blue hands, and blue or cream dial, the 46mm Jean Bugatti would almost look bland were it not for its unique layout.

Two openings in the dial house a pair of minute flying tourbillons. Their cage design has the iconic Bugatti EB’ logo on top and is made of polished steel. Jean Bugatti indicates hours and minutes by a pair of red inward-facing hands on the edge of the dial. The pair of short blue hands in the center of the dial are the chronograph hands. The first longer one represents the second unit of the chronograph. The shorter ones represent tens of seconds for the chronograph. As each of these reaches the end of its course, it jumps backwards, thus defining a biretrograde chronograph. The chronograph is powered and regulated autonomously by means of an independent barrel and a high-frequency regulating mechanism. bugatti watch price
