Jacob & Co. Bugatti Tourbillon Watch BU310.80.AB.AA.A

The Jacob & Co. Bugatti Tourbillon Sapphire Crystal is the gem-set hypertwin to Bugatti's new hyper sports car, which is also named Tourbillon. The Bugatti Tourbillon Sapphire Crystal features new inventions, new complications in a new architecture that takes after Bugatti's, elevated with extensive diamond setting. These two extreme mechanisms are aesthetically, mechanically and functionally integrated.

A total of ten defining design elements are directly drawn from the car’s. The Bugatti Tourbillon Sapphire Crystal case shape is the same as Bugatti's car, with the front grille flanked by two side radiator inlets. The case sides show two curved window outlines, executed in gold. The sub-dials are designed like the car's dashboard. Its automaton emulates the car's new V16 engine block, down to its exhaust manifolds. Even the winding crown mimics the finishings on the control knobs.

The one effect a Bugatti Tourbillon hypercar will never be able to provide is transparency. Whereas the Bugatti Tourbillon timepiece can be made with transparent sapphire. The Bugatti Tourbillon Sapphire Crystal is entirely transparent, preserving the overall design and details of the seminal collection, while providing a 360-degree, totally free view on its movement.
