Overview

A vertical platform that turns every 20 minutes

The Jacob & Co. Astronomia Sky, reference AT110.22.AA.AA.A, in a blue titanium case, 47 mm across and 25 mm high. It has a blue grade 5 titanium celestial dial with a titanium hour and minute subdial, on a blue alligator leather strap with a blue titanium deployant clasp. This version is limited to 6 pieces.

The hour and minute subdial is titanium, hand-angled and polished, with lacquered indexes, and its differential gear system keeps it upright as the platform turns. The case has sapphire apertures on its sides.

In 2014 Jacob Arabo turned his interest in space into the Astronomia concept, a planetary system modelled at wrist scale. Astronomia Sky takes the idea further. A vertical platform rises from the back plate and turns on its axis in 20 minutes, and its motion drives the movement’s functions. An Earth globe on the platform is half covered, so it shows whether sunlight reaches a part of the planet, and it turns in 24 hours as a day and night indicator.

Hand-wound calibre JCAM11 has 395 components and a 60-hour power reserve. The tourbillon hangs from one satellite arm in an openworked carriage that turns on two axes, in 60 seconds and in 5 minutes. The platform’s 20-minute rotation adds the third. On another arm a differential system turns the hour and minute dial against the platform at the same speed, so it stays upright. The back plate turns once in 365.25 days for the sidereal display, and an orbital second shaped like a spacecraft circles in 60 seconds.
