According to Jacob & Co., allotted time doesn’t fly, it floats
For the first time in Geneva, the master designers at Jacob & Co. have created an ingenious interpretation of a classic regulator complication, subverting some of the rules of the method in the most striking way.
To keep it simple, a "regulator" is a method of timekeeping (starting with clocks and pocket watches) that separates the functions of hours, minutes, and seconds and displays each function on a separate face on a watch dial.
In fact, due to their inherent accuracy, regulator clocks are often used as real-time references by watchmaking shops, even if they do not produce regulator copy luxury watches themselves.
However, transforming this ancient complication into a luxurious floating power work of art is beyond the reach of ordinary watch brands. No, that’s the job of a brand as eclectic and undisputedly technical as Jacob & Co.

Again, to keep it simple, the new Jacob & Co. Astronomia Régulateur is a 43mm 18k rose gold regulator watch. But, given the house's innovative and decorative tendencies, the "simple" part of its description ends here, as there is much more to the story.
Its floating 3D architecture and signature visual appeal—from component finishes to the vibrant blue and its red and gold colorways—are just the beginning of the extras the Astronomia Régulateur brings to the party. replica Tudor Black Bay
The oversized sapphire faceplate is domed along the top (of course) and curves along the sides of the 18mm-thick case, held in place by the gleaming frame of the red gold case (which features a downward-sloping top flange and an open structure lugs). Think of it like a museum case; it allows you to observe the watch itself.
Still, like all Jacob & Co. timepieces, the Astronomia Régulateur demands closer inspection, a look that reveals some impressive horological innovations to match the clever decoration.
Introduction: Jacob & Co Astronomia Regulator
Today, Jacob & Co luxury replica watches has become a major collector’s brand. You’ve seen them on the wrists of the likes of Conor McGregor, Lionel Messi, around Rihanna’s neck, and everywhere on the red carpet. In fact, Jacob has been the go-to jeweler for celebrities of all stripes. One of the brand’s most popular models is the Astronomia – a tourbillon movement that actually spins on a channel, making it appear to float within the case. Not only is it visually striking, it’s also a technical marvel. This year, the brand has unveiled a brand new Astronomia watch – this time with the addition of a new complication – the regulator.
Juice: Regulators are a unique way to tell time. Instead of using the hour, minute and second hands in the center of the dial, they are divided into two or three different subdials. This means that one of the subdials shows the hours and another shows the minutes. So if no one has yet to argue that the Astronomia movement is the perfect starting point for a Regulator dial, I’m making that argument now. The Astronomia Regulateur high quality replica watches perfectly balances the brand’s ultra-complex watchmaking with a simple division of indicators.
Achieving this is quite a feat – and as far as I know, it’s a first in the industry. The vertical movement rotates around its axis, with the movement completing one rotation every 60 seconds.
“So how do you tell time?”
Here’s the tricky part, the subdials and dial (which also acts as the seconds hand) rotate counterclockwise using a differential module, keeping everything straight and easy to read. Simple, but actually quite complex. replica Jacob and Co. Epic X Chrono watches
Inside the Astronomia Regulateur is the Jacob & Co Calibre JCAM56, a massive 522-component movement complete with a tourbillon. Amazingly, these components work together to still give the watch a 48-hour power reserve. The brand is, of course, proud of this, as the case itself is comprised mostly of large sapphire panels to fully showcase the JCAM56 movement. Even the laser blue dial and subdials are transparent to showcase the movement’s beauty as much as possible.
Of course, with the blue front and neon shade in the center, the watch is tied to rose gold. Its beauty is eye-catching and easy to see. Surprisingly, the Astronomia Regulateur watch is skeletonized and the movement is extremely complex and easy to read. Replica Breitling SuperOcean
It’s hard to talk about haute horlogerie without mentioning Jacob & Co. For decades, the brand has been on the edge of advancement in haute horlogerie – and the Astronomia Regulateur is no exception. Personally, I’ve always admired Jacob & Co for creating really cool concepts that people enjoy, and that still actually tell the time. It’s an achievement that not many brands are able to pull off, but Jacob & Co continually achieves it.
