ArtyA Tiny Purity Tourbillon

The latest edition of the ArtyA Purity Tourbillon series has undergone a total redesign of its spectacular exclusive manufactured double-barrel flying tourbillon.

Following the complete reworking of the entire movement, this high complication piece from ArtyA is now available with a 39 mm case. This mechanism was created in partnership with Franck Orny and his team of La Chaux-de-Fonds based high horology specialist Télôs Watch SA.

ArtyA Tiny Purity Tourbillon

To create the Tiny Purity Tourbillon watch, the case diameter has been reduced from 46mm to 39mm. To make watch compact in size, the hour and minutes dial has been moved to 3 o’clock with a fully skeletonized display.

Visible through the transparent sapphire glass dial, the mechanical tourbillon movement incorporates double barrel system. Positioned in parallel, both mainspring barrels keep their original size to maintain an exceptional power reserve of 72 hours.

ArtyA Tiny Purity Tourbillon Movement

Despite this drastic reduction in the size of the case, the tourbillon cage remains unchanged to further impose its 17 mm diameter, 44% of the total volume of the piece. It now benefits from a traditional adjustment with a fixed stud that replaces the entire raquetterie.

Positioned at 9 o’clock, the tourbillon cage has been entirely hand-beveled with exceptional finishing. It has a high beating rate of 4Hz. The other modifications include the new Incabloc and balance with inertia block.

The ArtyA Tiny Purity Tourbillon watch is available with a monotone sapphire or bi-colour NanoSapphire case.

The suggested retail price is 125’000 CHF.

Jacob & Co. Casino Tourbillon

The new Jacob & Co. Casino Tourbillon watch in rose gold incorporates a classical flying tourbillon complication and a playful roulette mechanism in an elegantly designed 44mm diameter case.

Casino features Jacob & Co.’s first-ever flying tourbillon located caseback-side. This timepiece with an eye-caching black onyx dial stands out with its high-end finishings and sophisticated material details. It also houses a fully functional, free-spinning roulette, complete with 37 pockets and a white ball.

Inspiration: Jacob & Co. Astronomia Casino

In 2019, Jacob & Co. launched Astronomia Casino, one of the most successful versions of the Astronomia series.

As an integral part of the Astronomia collection, it offers a 10-minute rotating platform, a triple-axis tourbillon, a magnesium Earth globe and a spinning 288-facet, Jacob-cut diamond.

Jacob & Co. has managed the design and technical feat of adding a fully working roulette to this already highly functional ensemble. The module which operates that roulette mechanism has been plugged inside the new Casino watch, thus giving it a unique personality.

The Casino case takes its inspiration from the original Roulette timepiece by Jacob & Co., the Astronomia Casino. Yet its dimensions, shape, movement and construction are entirely new and dedicated to this specific piece.

Jacob & Co. Casino Tourbillon

Case

The 44 mm diameter case body in 18K rose gold is thoroughly polished. The caseband is curved, the bezel steep and the sapphire crystal generously domed, all of which creates a single harmonious line.

Jacob & Co. Casino Tourbillion

It’s fitted with four full and wide lugs, whose shape initiates the black alligator strap curve. These angles and this elaborate construction aim at slimming down the Casino profile and make for a more comfortable and ergonomic fit with wrists of all sizes.

One of the attributes Jacob & Co. Casino Tourbillon shares with its forbearer the absence of a crown. Time-setting and winding are both operated with bows placed against the caseback.

The distinct Roulette pusher at 8 o’clock is square and large so as to offer the best finger contact possible. To blend it with the Casino overall case profile, it’s surrounded by a long, crescent-shaped crown guard.

Pusher

This pusher is the heart of the Casino as it operates its signature function, elevated to the rank of an actual watchmaking complication. Casino is a genuine Roulette game.

Once laid out flat on a table, it operates as a fully random game of chance. The pusher propels the wheelhead, complete with 37 pockets, 1 green, 18 red and 18 black. The mechanical construction of this movement part rests on a set of ceramic ball bearings of extremely high quality. The wheelhead spins with high speed and very little friction.

Meanwhile, a white ceramic ball bounces inside Casino. It flies throughout the lower part of the dial and flange, which is fitted with eight diamonds-shaped deflectors.

Dial

The finishings and details of the Jacob & Co. Casino Tourbillon watch set the same tone. The hours and minutes dial is made of a single slab of black onyx, mirror-polished and fitted with applied, 5N gold indices. Their kite-shape is a nod to the kite-cut sapphires, used in several Jacob & Co. creations.

The black PVD flange contains eight diamond-shaped deflectors, which aim at rising the variance level of the roulette game. The wheeltrack flange, that small wall at the foot of the upper side of the dial, is mirror polished, like on an actual roulette, and leaves a small space between the dial and the sapphire crystal.

A space large enough for the entire dial and wheeltrack to act as one continuous ensemble, but small enough for the ball to stay down and end up in one of the 37 pockets.

Movement

The manual-winding Cal. JCAM51 is an entirely new movement with a power reserve of 72 hours. The Roulette module rests on a last generation base calibre. It’s regulated by a flying tourbillon located on the back side of the case.

Its carriage ushers in a new Jacob & Co. design as its arms are engraved and lacquered in the exact same way as the wheelhead. This black and red pattern is also laid out on two applied plates, screwed on the caseback on either side of the bows acting as winding and time-setting crowns. The numbers appear in the same order as the ones on the opposite side of Casino.

Code 11.59 by Audemars Piguet Selfwinding Flying Tourbillon with Smoked Green Enamelled Aventurine Dial

Audemars Piguet’s new Code 11.59 by Audemars Piguet Selfwinding Flying Tourbillon has a smoked green enamelled aventurine dial. This new two-tone AP Code 11.59 watch features an 18-carat pink gold case and a black ceramic middle case.

Code 11.59 by Audemars Piguet Selfwinding Flying Tourbillon with Smoked Green Enamelled Aventurine Dial

The new model follows the footsteps of the Code 11.59 by Audemars Piguet Selfwinding Flying Tourbillon with a black aventurine dial released in 2020.

Fusion of Pink Gold and Smoked Green Aventurine Dial

The smoked green enamelled aventurine dial of the new Code 11.59 Flying Tourbillon watch is adorned with pink gold accents. It features flying tourbillon cage at 6 o’clock. The various techniques that come into play to create this dial give an incredible impression of depth and light.

This illusion of depth was created by covering the gold dial with a blend of crushed aventurine glass and enamel. Each enamel dial is unique thanks to the organic nature of its materials, as well as its hand manufacturing technique and distinctive time in the kiln.

The dial is housed under a complex double curved sapphire crystal which perfectly integrates the curvature of the extra-thin bezel and intensifies the play of light.

Code 11.59 by Audemars Piguet Selfwinding Flying Tourbillon with Smoked Green Enamelled Aventurine Dial

The 41 mm diameter pink gold case with a black ceramic case middle highlights the deep green colour of the enamelled aventurine dial.

The pink gold case is adorned with an alternation of satin-brushed and polished surfaces, while the case middle in black ceramic brings a highly contemporary look. The watch also boasts an extra-thin bezel, a round caseback and highly stylised lugs. To further match with the case’s colour, the open-worked oscillating weight in 22-carat pink gold is visible through the sapphire caseback.

The brand’s trademark alternation of satin brushing and polished chamfers offers a fascinating interplay with the light that illuminates the watch’s dark green aesthetic.

Code 11.59 by Audemars Piguet Selfwinding Flying Tourbillon with Smoked Green Enamelled Aventurine Dial

This contemporary aesthetic with its two-toned case and dark green enamelled aventurine dial is enhanced by the addition of a black textured rubber-coated strap lined with calfskin leather.

Movement

This new timepiece is powered by the Selfwinding Calibre 2950, which combines a flying tourbillon at six o’clock with a subtle pink gold-toned balance wheel and a central rotor.

Audemars Piguet Calibre 2950 Selfwinding Flying Tourbillon Movement

Audemars Piguet’s first flying tourbillon wristwatch made its appearance in 2018 in the Royal Oak Concept collection. The Code 11.59 by Audemars Piguet represents the Manufacture’s second collection to host this prestigious mechanism.

This new iteration will be launched in June exclusively in South-East Asia, with further availability in other countries as of August 2023.

Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore Selfwinding Flying Tourbillon Chronograph Black Ceramic Limited Edition

Audemars Piguet presents new iteration of its Royal Oak Offshore Selfwinding Flying Tourbillon Chronograph featuring a black ceramic case and an architectural dial combining black and green hues. Limited to 100 pieces, this cutting-edge horological masterpiece comes with a green interchangeable rubber strap.

In 2021, the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore Selfwinding Flying Tourbillon Chronograph marked the beginning of a new generation of Royal Oak Offshore with a 43 mm diameter. This year, the Manufacture launches a new version crafted in black ceramic.

AP Royal Oak Offshore Flying Tourbillon Chronograph Black Ceramic

All the components of the black ceramic case are hand-finished with the Manufacture’s trademark alternation of satin brushing and polished chamfers.

Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore Selfwinding Flying Tourbillon Chronograph Black Ceramic Limited Edition

The new AP Royal Oak Offshore Selfwinding Flying Tourbillon Chronograph Black Ceramic model encompasses a ceramic caseback for the first time in the 43 mm Royal Oak Offshore collection.

Secured with screws, the case-back ring features the engraving “Royal Oak Offshore Limited Edition of 100 Pieces”. It also frames a sapphire-crystal display window revealing the Calibre 2967 and its blackened 22-carat pink gold oscillating weight.

Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore Selfwinding Flying Tourbillon Chronograph Black Ceramic Limited Edition

The 2023 iteration presents a dramatic evolution of the selfwinding Calibre 2967 launched in 2021. This 526-part flyback chronograph movement incorporates a flying tourbillon, whose single underlying bridge holds the rotating cage at 6 o’clock.

Audemars Piguet Calibre 2967 Selfwinding Flying Tourbillon Chronograph Movement

The architectural black PVD-coated titanium bridges, finished with satin-brushing and hand-polished angles, are enriched with vivid green inserts endowed with an even aluminium coating. Lastly, the bright external polished chamfers highlight the bridges’ titanium base and add depth to the multi-layered movement.

The two translucent chronograph counters, outlined with a black outer ring, leave the view of the two-tone movement unencumbered. The 18-carat pink gold hands are illuminated with luminescent coating. Furthermore, a green anodised inner bezel, keeping in with the bridge inserts and strap, serves as the minutes track. The red chronograph hands add a racy flash of colour.

New Interchangeable Strap System

This new reference comes with the Manufacture’s interchangeable strap system complementing the latest generation of Royal Oak Offshore models. This system has been directly integrated into the case’s studs and buckle.

The new system allows wearers to change the straps and buckles of their new timepiece themselves with a quick click and release. The double-push system also grants optimum security when the watch is worn on the wrist.

The watch’s green rubber strap can be swapped out for the second black rubber strap. Owners benefit furthermore from the ‘AP’ folding clasp in lightweight, satin-finished titanium.

The Astronomia Metaverso NFT Venus is a new, elaborate version based on Jacob & Co.’s successful Astronomia collection. It comes as 44-mm, polished white gold timepiece with wide sapphire openings on the caseband and openworked lugs.

Under its vast, curved sapphire crystal lies a vertical movement with three arms. One is a flying tourbillon, the other is a rotating 288-facet Jacob-cut gem representing a planet and the third is an hour and minute dial, cut from a slab of red spinel.

The dome is a three-dimensional, gem-set lattice Jacob & Co. used as a canvas to carry the individual nature of each piece in the collection. In this watch, the open-worked dome in yellow gold is set with white diamonds, yellow diamonds and pink sapphires.

Jacob & Co. Opera Godfather 50th Anniversary Limited Edition

Jacob & Co. presents a limited edition Opera watch to mark the 50th anniversary of The Godfather, the classic movie that won 3-time Oscar and 5-time Golden Globe.

The Jacob & Co. Opera Godfather 50th Anniversary is a 50-piece limited series, a striking cinematic, graphic and musical recollection of Francis Ford Coppola’s cult classic. This haute-horlogerie creation in 18K white gold incorporates the brand’s emblematic triple-axis flying tourbillon and music box complication.

Jacob & Co. Opera Godfather 50th Anniversary Limited Edition

Only a handful of movies have had as deep and lasting an influence as The Godfather. The Opera Godfather series by Jacob & Co. has been designed and crafted as a tribute to the movie’s unique status in both popular and cinema culture.

The Opera Godfather 50th Anniversary incorporates thirteen greatest scenes, in the same narrative order as in the movie. This graphic synopsis is laser-etched onto the white gold case with an unprecedented level of vividness and quality.

Jacob & Co. Opera Godfather 50th Anniversary Limited Edition

The piece also features the movie’s thirteen most famous quotes, some of which are firmly anchored in popular culture, the most famous being “I’m gonna make him an offer he can’t refuse.”

The Godfather Movie Quotes

This 50-piece limited series is housed in a 49-mm white gold case whose sides are decorated with thirteen emblematic scenes from the movie. Each scene is etched on the case using ground-breaking high-intensity, high-precision femtolaser technology that allows an unparalleled level of realism and vividness.

Jacob & Co. Opera Godfather 50th Anniversary Limited Edition

The etching process creates an almost imperceptible texture, so that just as you see the scene, you actually feel the frame from The Godfather‘s movie reel. Chief among them is the image of Don Vito Corleone, etched between the lugs at 6 o’clock.

Jacob & Co. Opera Godfather 50th Anniversary Limited Edition

In the middle of caliber JCFM04, The Godfather‘s emblematic red rose, rendered with incredible realism and quality, rests between the two musical barrels. They power the two-part music box mechanism that plays The Godfather‘s main theme, one of the foundational features of the collection.

Jacob & Co. Opera Godfather 50th Anniversary Limited Edition

In this instance, these barrels have been crafted out of solid rose gold, and each engraved with a total of thirteen cult quotes from the movie. The pieces that cover the blades which create the melody have also been designed especially for this limited edition. One, in the shape of a piano, bears the image of Don Corleone and the other the puppeteer’s strings from the original movie poster.

By incorporating a new set of literal symbols and key elements of the movie’s imagery into the Opera Godfather 50th Anniversary, Jacob & Co. delivers a unique concept. This horological masterpiece fuses the art of watchmaking with symbolism.

Jacob & Co. Opera Godfather 50th Anniversary

In watchmaking terms, the Opera Godfather is a triple-axis tourbillon watch with twin music boxes, complete with combs and barrels. They play The Godfather‘s main theme, composed by Nino Rota, from the movie’s score. As the music plays, the entire movement spins as if in a dance while the off-centered dial turns in the opposite direction so as to remain upright.

Jacob & Co. Opera Godfather 50th Anniversary

In symbolic terms, it celebrates certain artifacts from The Godfather which have become part of pop and cinematic culture: the rose Vito Corleone wears on his lapel at his daughter’s wedding; the puppeteer strings originally featured on Mario Puzo’s original novel cover, which later became the movie’s poster; Marlon Brando himself, featured on one of the piano covers.

Limited to 50 pieces, each Opera Godfather 50th Anniversary comes in its special wood case, lined with red velvet. It contains a crystal decanter with a high-resolution print of Marlon Brando and The Godfather main logo. It also contains an all-new version of The Godfather Pen, which is an integral part of the Jacob & Co. Godfather universe.

BALLPOINT Pen

This black celluloid fountain pen features an ample rose resting at the top of the cap, rendered in red and green enamel.
