Last year in 2014, Jacob & Co. debuted a very interesting watch with an extravagant movement they called the Astronomia Tourbillon (debuted here). I didn’t get a chance to personally see the piece when they debuted it, and I am not sure if the original Astronomia Tourbillon case style (check the link above) was even
As you can see, Jacob & Co. wanted to bring a healthy number of astronomical data to its Astronomia view, and I believe they did a wonderful job at the Jacob & Co..

At Baselworld 2016, Jacob & Co. continued to impress with new versions of its visually stunning and uber-complex Astronomia collection, but the real novelty in terms of brand-new “spectacle” watches was the Twin Turbo Twin Triple Axis Tourbillon Minute Repeater.

Easily one of the most impressive things I strapped to my wrist at Baselworld 2015 was the completed Jacob & Co. Astronomia Tourbillon watch (as well as the diamond-set Jacob & Co.
