Jacob & Co. Twin Turbo Furious high quality replica watches Try-On



When it comes to statement timepieces, few brands do it better than Jacob & Co., which was founded in 1986 as a jewelry company and began making watches in 2002. There’s nothing traditional about Jacob & Co.’s watches, as evidenced by pieces like the Astronomia Solar and the Epic SF 24. This year, the brand unveiled one of its most sophisticated and outrageous watches to date: the Twin Turbo Furious. The name hints at the speed at which its twin tourbillons spin, but what it doesn’t tell you is that the twin tourbillon is actually a tri-axial variant that also packs a decimal minute repeater, a monopusher chronograph, and an unusual complication called a reference time difference. Let’s take a closer look at the Twin Turbo Furious.

The Twin Turbo Furious luxury replica Watches is the follow-up to the Twin Turbo Twin Tri-Axial Tourbillon Minute Repeater (yes, that’s the name. It sounds catchy, doesn’t it?), which launched in 2016. Like the Twin Turbo, the Twin Turbo Furious features a modern rectangular case that is 57mm wide, 52mm between lugs, and 17mm thick. This watch looks even larger than the specs would suggest, as most of it is actually a large, curved sapphire crystal. People will notice this watch, I promise.

The most unusual aspect of the case is the crown and accompanying crank. The crank can be removed from the case, making winding the watch fun and easy. On the other side of the case is the actuator for the decimal minute repeater. A decimal minute repeater is different from a traditional minute repeater because it chimes ten minutes instead of quarters. This makes it easier to “hear” the time. swiss replica watches

The wide dial is a mix of colors, dials, and hands. The main dial itself is actually a piece of smoked sapphire crystal with the Jacob & Co. logo printed on it. Around the perimeter is a red Niola ring with white Super-LumiNova hour markers and a seconds hand. Next, we see the Pit Board, which is part of the reference time differential. This complication works in conjunction with the chronograph to quickly indicate how many seconds faster or slower the elapsed time is compared to a reference time. The reference time is set using the crown and can be set up to 5 minutes and 59 seconds, indicated by an aperture at the 6 o'clock position on the main chronograph dial. In the image above, the reference time is set to 1 minute and 56 seconds. Once the chronograph is stopped, the owner can quickly see how much faster or slower the elapsed time is by reading the chronograph seconds hand on the Pit Board wheel.

Continuing on to the rest of the dial, at 9 o'clock is the usual running seconds subdial, and at 3 o'clock is the chronograph minute counter. Below the chronograph dial are two triple-axis tourbillons, which are connected by a differential so that the rate of each tourbillon is actually averaged. These tourbillons spin very quickly, hence the name Twin Turbo Furious. The first axis rotates once every 24 seconds, while the second axis rotates once every 8 seconds and, finally, the third axis rotates once every 30 seconds. The end result is quite striking, as the tourbillon is in constant "intense" motion. Between the two tourbillons is a power reserve indicator. replica Patek Philippe Aquanaut

Contrary to what you might think, the dial is actually very easy to read. Admittedly, it's rather cluttered, but the large red hour and minute hands coated with red tips and white Super-LumiNova greatly enhance readability. The bigger problem is not to be mesmerized by the two rapidly spinning tourbillons.

The movement inside is the Jacob & Co. Caliber JCFM05, visible through the sapphire caseback. It's a formidable movement with a staggering 832 parts and a unique architecture. At the top are the hammers for the decimal minute repeater and below is the column wheel for the chronograph. The bottom of the movement is dominated by the two gold skeletonized wheels for the tourbillon. replica Bovet Dimier watches

The movement is beautifully decorated, with hand-beveled and polished plates and bridges, black polish on several surfaces, circular graining on the wheels, barrel and plates, and polished countersunk jewels. Speaking of jewels, the movement has 75 jewels in total.

The Jacob & Co. Twin Turbo Furious is a very iconic piece. Its styling is bold, and the technicality of the watch itself matches its styling. While you may have your own opinion on its appearance, there is no denying that this is a very complex watch with some interesting complications. Making a decimal minute repeater is difficult enough, but combining it with two tri-axis tourbillons, a chronograph, and a reference time difference is unheard of. replica audemars piguet
