Jacob & Co. Twin Turbo Furious Bugatti “La Montre Noire”

I’m not sure about the others, but if I were driving Bugatti’s incredible “La Voiture Noire”, that unique supercar worth over 11 million euros, I doubt I’d be paying too much attention to my wrist. But for those who think custom watches and supercars go hand in hand, allow us to introduce the jaw-dropping Jacob & Co. Twin Turbo Furious Bugatti “La Montre Noire”.

Considering the ridiculous car I just mentioned and the exclusivity that comes with it, I doubt you’d expect to see something ordinary. For that kind of car, or a watch to match the world’s most expensive supercar, you’d need something outrageous, to say the least. And the name of Jacob & Co. Quickly came to mind.

The brilliant team behind Jacob & Co. is known for their unique timepieces, always trying to create stunning timepieces – the “La Montre Noire” is just the latest addition to their impressive roster.

Do you remember the Bugatti Chiron tourbillon? That watch was inspired by the massive 16-cylinder engine that powered the Bugatti Chiron.

But this new timekeeping wonder is back in the past, and the iconic Type 57 SC Atlantic Coupe cannot be ignored. The only black version disappeared around 1940, when Bugatti decided to hide it with other cars to keep it safe during World War II.

Known as “La Voiture Noire”, chassis number. 57453 has since disappeared and the car is estimated to be worth around $100 million – would you look for it? The one-off Bugatti for 2019 pays homage to the redesigned Chiron, but doesn’t hint at where the original car is. super replica watches

But let’s focus on what’s in front of us right now. Jacob & Co. created a unique piece based on the blacked-out Type 57 SC Atlantic Coupe. Equipped with two three-axis tourbillon regulators and a decimal minute repeater, the new watch exhibits an overall alien aesthetic.

The Jacob & Co. Twin Turbo Furious Bugatti “La Montre Noire” also features a 57mm 18k black gold case set with 344 baguette-cut black sapphires. The black Cordura strap features a PVD ​​titanium clasp with a black gold buckle and 18 baguette-cut black sapphires, and if you’re lucky enough to get it, it will be worn on your wrist.

Jacob & Co.’s visual luxury continues inside, where “La Montre Noire” benefits from an ultra-complex mechanism composed of 832 tiny components. Since it was inspired by an iconic supercar, the watch also features a chronograph. The stopwatch mechanism actually incorporates a primitive “reference time” indicator.

The dial also has a small opening at 6 o’clock to indicate the reference time in minutes and seconds – which can be set via the crown. Additionally, the Twin Turbo Furious Bugatti La Montre Noire features an impressive decimal repeater.

Finally, let’s talk about power – that’s usually a common topic when we’re talking about supercars, right? Well, thanks to an ingenious planetary system, the needle points to the full power reserve to the left, then moves to the right as the 48-hour backup power runs out.

By now, you should expect what’s coming next – the Jacob & Co. Twin Turbo Furious Bugatti La Montre Noire is a unique piece. But where is that car? jacob & co astronomia replica

Rolex OYSTER DEEPSEA

Speaking of this year’s new copy Rolex products, you must first think of the “left-handed” Greenwich II, which is vividly called “Sprite Circle” by watch friends because of its green and black outer ring. Highly recognizable, it is undoubtedly the blockbuster of the year. On the other hand, the new Airmaster with added crown guard bridge is also highly popular. It upgrades the movement and appearance to enhance its sports attributes and further moves closer to Rolex professional watches. In addition, the women’s log-shaped flower plate, the 18K gold yacht, and the platinum ice blue DD have all received a lot of exposure. However, among the new products, the presence of the new ghost king Ref.136660 is very low, not only the forum is rarely discussed by friends, but even the official did not write news materials for it. We also learned about its information from the quietly updated details page. It can be said that it is the most low-key new product of Rolex this year. Unlike Airmaster’s iterative product, which was upgraded from the 31-series movement to the 32-series movement, in fact, the Ghost King Ref.126660 released in 2018 has been equipped with the Cal.3235 movement. The 2022 Ghost King has not changed the movement model, and still uses the Cal.3235 movement. It is more based on the fine-tuning of the appearance. The following is a summary of the upgrade points of this new product based on the information released by foreign media.

From the front, the most significant upgrade of the new ghost king is the calendar window. It has a larger display area, allowing the wearer to read the date clearly. We know that Rolex uses a convex lens calendar display window for both the Submariner and the Sea-Dweller. This design originated from the Datejust type and has now become one of the iconic elements of Rolex. However, among many Rolex diving watches, only the ghost king did not add a convex lens calendar display window. The reason is that the convex lens calendar window is not integrally formed, but is bonded by two pieces of sapphire glass through a special process. The waterproof level of the Ghost King is 3900 meters, and the pressure during deep diving is several times that of an ordinary diving watch. Therefore, in order to ensure stability, the Ghost King upgrades the calendar window only to increase the display area, rather than using a convex lens window.

The second upgrade of Ref.136660 is the bezel. The ceramic outer ring of the new ghost king has become more slender, which can improve the exquisiteness of the watch to a certain extent. At the same time, the brand has also optimized the rotation mechanism of the outer ring, and the new product has a better rotating feel. The mirror is also one of the upgrade points. The sapphire mirror with reflective coating can effectively resist strong light refraction and make reading more clear.

The luminous effect has also been optimized. Early Rolex watches all used Super-LumiNova luminous, which is currently the most mainstream luminous material. However, Rolex, which was produced after 2008, stopped the use of Super-LumiNova and changed it to the brand-exclusive Chromalight luminous. Chromaligh has a longer glow time and a stable level of light. The 2022 Ghost King Ref.136660 adopts the latest generation of Chromaligh luminous solution, and its luminous duration and brightness are improved compared with the previous generation of Chromaligh luminous.

After reading the front, let’s talk about the changes of the bottom cover. In the old Ref.126660, the black “ROLEX OYSTER DEEPSEA ♕ SEA-DWELLER 12800 ft = 3900 m” is surrounded by the edge of the titanium case back to indicate the series to which the watch belongs and its water resistance. In the bottom cover of the new Ref.136660, this material has an exclusive name: “RLX titanium alloy”.

However, with regard to the new Ghost King Ref.136660, no real pictures have been seen at home and abroad, and more details about this product have yet to be confirmed. In fact, Ghost King has not been highly recognized among players for a long time, which is not only reflected in the product market share, but also directly reflected in the secondary market. It is true that the 44mm watch diameter and the case thickness of more than 17mm are not friendly to the general body of Asians, which means that the ghost king has not been as universal as a water ghost since its birth. It is a work prepared by a few watch friends, so it is reasonable for the brand to upgrade its low-key.
