JACOB & CO ASTRONOMIA SOLAR

LOUIS MOINET SPACE MYSTERY

Jacob & Co sets a newmilestone in its representation of the Earth within the solar systemwith this reproduction of eight planets on a dial around a majestic sun, formed by a citrine displaying the 288 facets of the Jacob Cut®. The hand-engraved Earth rotates around its axis once every 60 seconds and makes one complete revolution of the dial in 10 minutes, as do the flying tourbillon and the hours and minutes subdial, all three forming an assembly. The hand-wound 447-part JCAM19 caliber is faster than any of the previous movements in the Astronomia collection. By rotating 360° clockwise in 10 minutes while the aventurine base turns counter-clockwise at the same speed, it creates a captivating view of our solar system. The 44.5mmwatch is crafted in 18K rose gold. $280,000 Where to buy Jacob & Co in New York, info@jacobandco.com, +1 212 719 5887, jacobandco.com

Louis Moinet’s Caliber LM48 Space Mystery is the world’s first 'satellite tourbillon®' watch. The large-sized tourbillon cage is balanced by a planet that orbits around it, and both seem to float in space between two sapphire crystals. The stunning blue dial, called ‘Magic Blue,’ is obtained via a secret manufacturing process. Like many Louis Moinet timepieces, Space Mystery includes authentic fragments of a meteorite from the far-flung regions of space. The meteorite is placed at 9 o’clock on the dial. It is made in four versions (18K rose or white gold, with and without engravings) and is limited to just eight pieces of each. $195,000 Where to buy Provident Jewelry in Jupiter, FL, contact Nick Linca, managing partner, +1 561 747 4449, louismoinet.com
