The Ultimate Watch for the High-Roller
Jacob & Co. is a Swiss watchmaker known for its innovative and often extravagant timepieces. The company’s latest release, the Casino Tourbillon, is no exception. This unique watch combines a fully functional roulette game with a tourbillon complication, making it the ultimate watch for the high-roller.
The Casino Tourbillon is housed in a 44mm case made of 18k rose gold. The case is polished to a high shine, and the bezel is gently curved to create a comfortable fit. The watch is powered by the JCAM51 movement, which is a new creation from Jacob & Co. The movement features a single axis tourbillon with a flying cage, as well as a roulette complication.
The roulette complication is the centerpiece of the Casino Tourbillon. The wheel is made of a single piece of ceramic and sapphire, and it is held in place by a titanium frame. The wheel is 37mm in diameter and has 37 pockets, 1 green, 18 red, and 18 black. The white ceramic ball is made of a special material that is designed to roll smoothly and evenly on the roulette wheel.
The tourbillon complication is located at the 6 o’clock position. It is a single axis tourbillon with a flying cage, which means that the balance wheel and escapement are suspended in the air, without any support from the movement. This design allows the tourbillon to rotate freely in all directions, which helps to counteract the effects of gravity on the movement, ensuring that it keeps accurate time regardless of its orientation.
The hours and minutes are displayed on a single dial made of black mirror polished onyx. The onyx dial is elegant and luxurious, and it provides a sharp contrast to the white ceramic ball and the black PVD bezel. The eight diamond-shaped deflectors on the bezel are made of black PVD steel. They are designed to add variance to the roulette game. The deflectors can cause the white ceramic ball to bounce or change direction, which makes the game more unpredictable.
The Casino Tourbillon is limited to 101 pieces. It has a water resistance rating of 30 meters. The price is $280,000. The Casino Tourbillon is a true work of art and a testament to the ingenuity of Jacob & Co.
It is a technical masterpiece that combines the beauty of a luxury watch with the functionality of a roulette game. It is the ultimate watch for the high-roller who wants to combine style, substance, and gambling in one timepiece. If you’re a high-roller who’s looking for a watch that is both luxurious and functional, the Jacob & Co. Casino Tourbillon is the perfect choice for you. It’s a one-of-a-kind timepiece that will turn heads wherever you go.
