JACOB & CO., a name synonymous with luxury and innovation, has long captivated the hearts of Hollywood jetsetters and watch enthusiasts alike. Known for their bold designs and exceptional craftsmanship, the New York-based jeweller turned watchmaker has established a reputation for creating timepieces that are not just functional but also pieces of art. From the red carpets of Hollywood to the wrists of discerning collectors, the brand’s gloriously ostentatious timekeepers, often brilliantly bejeweled or technically supreme, are a symbol of status and style.
Among its impressive portfolio, Jacob & Co.’s Astronomia collection stands out as a pinnacle of innovation. Introduced in 2014, this series redefined the concept of high horology with its rotating tourbillon movements and celestial-inspired designs, capturing the imagination of watch aficionados. The latest addition to this illustrious collection is the Astronomia Régulateur, which reimagines the classic régulateur with a floating, 3D architecture that is both a technical marvel and a visual spectacle.
