Overview
A tourbillon that turns once every 4 seconds
The Jacob & Co. God of Time, reference JA060.40.AA.AA.A, in an 18-carat rose gold case, 44.5 mm across and 18.10 mm high. Its dial is blue aventurine with a rose gold Chronos applique, on a blue alligator leather strap with an 18-carat rose gold deployment buckle. This version is limited to 60 pieces.
Jacob Arabo made God of Time to mark his 60th birthday, and Jacob & Co. describes its tourbillon as the fastest ever made. Most tourbillons turn once a minute; this one turns once every 4 seconds, which Jacob & Co. puts at 15 times faster than the norm. Chronos, the Greek god of time, watches over it as a hand-finished rose gold applique on the dial.
Hand-wound calibre JCAM60 has 282 components and a 60-hour power reserve. Jacob & Co. built it around the fast carriage: a titanium cage of 12 mm across weighing 0.27 grams, with the constant force device built in. The upper bridge is sapphire crystal, so the carriage is in plain view.
Key details
Design and engineering
- TourbillonOne rotation every 4 seconds under a sapphire upper bridge. Faster turning costs more energy, so the carriage is kept light to hold the 60-hour reserve.
- PowerTwo pairs of stacked barrels hold the energy, and a constant force device with a 1/6th second frequency passes it on to the escapement.
- Chronos applique18-carat rose gold, hand-crafted and finished over several days. It is 37 mm long and 1.5 mm high at its thickest.
- Winding and settingThe crown on the left side of the case only sets the time. Winding is done through a flip-bow crown built into the caseback.
- CaseShaped after an Ionic column, with an anti-reflective sapphire crystal. The caseback is blue sapphire crystal with Jacob Arabo’s portrait and signature. Water resistant to 30 m.
