According to Jacob & Co., allotted time doesn’t fly, it floats
For the first time in Geneva, the master designers at Jacob & Co. have created an ingenious interpretation of a classic regulator complication, subverting some of the rules of the method in the most striking way.
To keep it simple, a "regulator" is a method of timekeeping (starting with clocks and pocket watches) that separates the functions of hours, minutes, and seconds and displays each function on a separate face on a watch dial.
In fact, due to their inherent accuracy, regulator clocks are often used as real-time references by watchmaking shops, even if they do not produce regulator copy luxury watches themselves.
However, transforming this ancient complication into a luxurious floating power work of art is beyond the reach of ordinary watch brands. No, that’s the job of a brand as eclectic and undisputedly technical as Jacob & Co.

Again, to keep it simple, the new Jacob & Co. Astronomia Régulateur is a 43mm 18k rose gold regulator watch. But, given the house's innovative and decorative tendencies, the "simple" part of its description ends here, as there is much more to the story.
Its floating 3D architecture and signature visual appeal—from component finishes to the vibrant blue and its red and gold colorways—are just the beginning of the extras the Astronomia Régulateur brings to the party. replica Tudor Black Bay
The oversized sapphire faceplate is domed along the top (of course) and curves along the sides of the 18mm-thick case, held in place by the gleaming frame of the red gold case (which features a downward-sloping top flange and an open structure lugs). Think of it like a museum case; it allows you to observe the watch itself.
Still, like all Jacob & Co. timepieces, the Astronomia Régulateur demands closer inspection, a look that reveals some impressive horological innovations to match the clever decoration.
Urwerk UR-110 RG
Urwerk introduced the UR-110 model in 2011, the same yr the fake luxury watch received the Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Genève Best Design Award, and the following 12 months the red gold UR-110 RG joined the collection.
The Urwerk UR-110 RG features a unique irregular in shape 47mm x 51mm situation (16mm thick), with a red-colored gold bezel on top of the titanium case. Like numerous Urwerk products, the UR-110 RG uses an orbiting satellite complication to tell time. The time is read on any 60-minute scale on the correct, with three arrow-shaped torpedo satellites taking turns showing the time, pointing in a up and down arc in orbit.
These torpedoes continuously move around the dial within a circular orbit, just like geostationary satellites in orbit, rotating all the time of the day. There’s also a “control panel” on the dial along with “day/night” and “oil change” indicators - a useful display that tells you if you want to take your best replica watches in for service. Finally, the little seconds indicator is located on the left of the dial.
The UR-110 RG may be the same Urwerk watch which Robert Downey Jr. used as Tony Stark/Iron Guy in the film Spider-Man: Homecoming (2017), which was later auctioned off to benefit charity.
Urwerk UR-120 “Spock”
The newest Urwerk watch to join our best three picks is the UR-120 “Spock, ” which was released in 2022 as a thinner, smoother, and more elegant edition of the brand’s iconic UR-110 watch.
The actual UR-120 features a more compact irregular in shape case that measures 44mm long, 47mm wide, as well as 15. 8mm thick. To achieve the much more restrained dimensions, Martin Frei looked to Gerald Genta for inspiration and lent Genta’s famous technique of building watches using small and large cases-such as the Nautilus watch. Therefore, the UR-120 case includes two interlocking parts (essentially the case back and bezel), linked by a transverse screw. The top part is made of finely sandblasted steel, while the lower component is made of sandblasted titanium. Richard Mille RM 032 Ultimate Edition
Like the UR-110 prior to it, the UR-120 includes a satellite turntable on the dial, which moves together a minute track located on the proper side to indicate the time. How do the Urwerk UR-120 nicknamed “Spock”? Well, if we take notice of the operation of the watch, the actual rotating satellite splits since it rotates on its own axis ~ similar to Mr. Spock’s popular V-shaped open-hand Vulcan praise, accompanied by the phrase “Live Long and Prosper”. This particular clever structural upgrade permitted Urwerk to significantly slow up the thickness of the case.
The back of the watch functions an arched window which allows a view of the star-shaped “Son of the Wind”, which manages the strength of the automatic turning. A surprising addition to the UR-120 is the inclusion of lugs, which is not common on Urwerk watches. The lugs tend to be attached with a ballistic design embossed calfskin strap. replica Jacob and Co. Bugatti Chiron
Collecting Urwerk Watches In less than 30 years, Felix Baumgartner and Martin Frei have successfully developed their own independent watch brand right into a dominant force in modern haute horology. Urwerk features a loyal following of enthusiasts who appreciate the visually arresting and mechanically advanced items that come out of the factory.
As the rise associated with independent brands continues to enhance, Urwerk watches are one of the brand names to watch as their collectibility and also market appeal will undoubtedly still grow.
