Here's a complete breakdown of the Jacob & Co. Casino Tourbillon—a creatively complicated timepiece that combines luxurious casino style with top-tier watchmaking craftsmanship. It conceals the tourbillon on the case back, making the roulette wheel the visual focus. Inspired by the brand's previous Astronomia Casino, it's positioned for more everyday wear and boasts a more refined Jacob & Co. style.
Background: Officially launched in 2023, it draws inspiration from the casino culture of Monte Carlo and Las Vegas's golden age. The brand aimed to retain the high level of complexity while creating a more user-friendly size (44mm, smaller than the Astronomia's 47mm), and made a groundbreaking design breakthrough by placing the tourbillon entirely on the case back.replica watches for sale
Core Design and Dial
Case and Operation: 44mm 18K rose gold, 16.3mm thick; no traditional crown, winding and time setting via a rotating "bow-shaped structure" on the case back; one-button start at 7 o'clock (or 8 o'clock, markings may vary between versions); water resistant to 30 meters, with a black alligator leather strap and rose gold folding clasp.
Dial System: The outer ring is a complete 37-segment European roulette wheel (1–36 red and black + green 0), with hand-painted numerals. Ceramic balls are driven by high-efficiency ball bearings, allowing for high-speed rotation and random placement with a single button press, continuing even when the wheel stops. Dial options include black onyx, blue aventurine, and pavé diamonds; the central hour/minute dial features luminous hands. luxury replica watches
Hidden Tourbillon: A single-axis flying tourbillon is visible at 6 o'clock on the case back, with the frame engraved with "Jacob & Co." and finished in a lacquer tone that echoes the wheel. The tourbillon rotates once every 60 seconds; this is the first time Jacob & Co. has not displayed the tourbillon on the dial side.
Movement and Limited Edition: Powered by the in-house JCAM51 manual-winding movement: 36mm in diameter, 9.05mm thick, 268 parts, 24 jewels, 3Hz frequency (21600vph), 72-hour power reserve, and equipped with the Incabloc shock-resistant system.
Key Features: The ultimate playful nature contrasts with the elegant case of a dress watch; The mechanical structure perfectly isolates the wheel's animation from the chronograph/tourbillon system, ensuring no interference; The "bow-shaped" winding/setting mechanism on the case back is a clever design that combines practicality and aesthetics.https://www.whereguidewatch.com
