About the Jacob & Co. Bugatti Chiron Tourbillon Collection
The Chiron Tourbillon, a watch inspired by Bugatti's famous hypercar. This collaboration brought together Jacob & Co.'s expertise in high-end watchmaking and Bugatti's reputation for creating exceptional automobiles, capturing the essence of Bugatti's engineering marvels within a timepiece.
An ode to automotive mastery on your wrist, the Bugatti Chiron Tourbillon is a remarkable collaboration between Jacob & Co and Bugatti, capturing the spirit of the legendary Chiron hypercar. Powered by an eight-litre quad-turbocharged W16 engine, the Chiron accelerates from zero to 60 mph in under 2.5 seconds, showing unparalleled speed and power. The Tourbillon replicates this adrenaline-fueled experience through an intricate automaton. A twist of the crown animates the miniature engine, with pistons pumping and turbochargers spinning, reflecting the hypercar’s heartbeat. Housed in a striking case, the watch features a gold-plated dial with blue indices and the iconic blue "EB" logo, complemented by rose gold-plated skeleton hands with luminescent tips for enhanced readability. Limited to just 72 pieces, the Chiron Tourbillon is a pinnacle of exclusivity.
Design Ingenuity Inspired By Hypercar Engineering
The design of the Jacob & Co. Bugatti Chiron Tourbillon is a striking example of how a timepiece can embody the essence of a high-performance hypercar. The watch features a bold and robust black titanium case, with sapphire crystal on the front and back, offering a full view of its intricate inner workings. The centrepiece of the design is a miniature, fully functional W16 engine, meticulously crafted with moving pistons and rotating turbochargers that are activated by pressing a side actuator. This engine, housed within a solid synthetic sapphire block, dominates the visual appeal, transforming the watch into a mesmerising mechanical marvel.
Range Iterations
Jacob & Co. extends this line with exceptional variations. The Bugatti Chiron Tourbillon Baguette elevates the series by integrating the brand’s famed gem-setting craftsmanship. This variant is adorned with baguette-cut diamonds and precious stones, offering a striking combination of haute horlogerie and luxury jewellery. Meanwhile, the Bugatti Chiron Tourbillon Pave, features round-cut diamonds, adding a different yet equally lavish aesthetic. On the cutting-edge side, the Bugatti Chiron Tourbillon Sapphire Crystal showcases the technical prowess of Jacob & Co. It is carved from a single block of sapphire crystal, available in various hues created using rare earth powders. This transparent case magnifies the intricate W16 engine mechanism, pushing the limits of both aesthetics and engineering. Crafting such a case takes months, as any flaw during production can result in discarding the entire crystal block, underscoring the complexity and rarity of these timepieces.
