Jacob & Co. Astronomia Tourbillon
If you’re just into mechanical watches because you find their complicated mechanical movements absolutely mesmerizing in motion, you’re clearly not alone. The Jacob & Co. Astronomia Tourbillon takes its movements to a whole other level with what looks like a carousel of cogs and gears in constant rotation under a large sapphire crystal dome. In addition to a small time display that always remains properly oriented as makes its way around the watch, a spinning Earth made from white gold makes constant orbits too, across from a one carat briolette cut diamond across from it.
You need to see it in motion to really appreciate the engineering and design here, but try not to fall in love with the timepiece, as when it debuted in 2014, it sold for around $548,000.
