Jacob & Co. Twin Turbo Furious Rose Gold: Sheer Sophistication

zelin0802

As for the impressive world of watchmaking, few brands are more effective than Jacob & Co, which was founded in New York in 1986 as a small jewelry stand. By 2002, the brand Jacob & Co. was really just getting into the real watch business.

After being impressed with the Astronomia Solar and Epic SF24 watches, Jacob & Co. went on to present one of the company’s most complicated and bizarre watches: the Twin Turbo Furious. The name reveals a strange “twin” mechanism, moving at breakneck speed, encapsulated in a limited situation. Specifically, the Twin Turbo Furious features a pair of 3-axis tourbillon cages, a decimal repeater mechanism (which we’ll explain later), a monopusher chronograph, and a unique, never-before-seen Pit Board mechanism.

Over the years, many versions of the Twin Turbo Furious watch have been released in different striking colors and materials. After all, if you have to say a pure and classic Twin Turbo Furious, you have to mention the version with a rose gold case interwoven with carbon fiber, which is limited to 18 pieces in the world: Jacob & Co. Twin Turbo Furious rose gold.

The Twin Turbo Furious is the follow-up to the Twin Turbo Twin Triple Axis Tourbillon Minute Repeater. As such, it will inherit important features from its predecessor. The Twin Turbo Furious case is one of the most complex in the industry, with straight lines and no shortage of curves. Especially the sapphire mirror looks like a trapezoid, but is curved and expanded from 6 o’clock to 12 o’clock.

The Twin Turbo Furious is an unforgettable watch that cannot be hidden behind a sleeve due to its sheer size. The watch is 57mm long, with a distance of 52mm between the two lugs and a thickness of 17mm. In your hand, the Twin Turbo Furious will certainly overshadow any other accessory, that’s for sure.

The strangest feature of the Jacob & Co. case structure. Twin Turbo Furious needs to call the name of the crown and accompanying crank right away. The crank can be removed from the case and its function makes winding the movement easier. Next to it is the trigger for the repeater function. The Jacobs Company calls it a decimal minute repeater to distinguish it from the traditional minute repeater. exact replica watches

When activated, the Jacob & Co. Twin Turbo Furious Rose Gold will sound to indicate the current time, including the alarm number, tens of minutes, and finally odd seconds. For example, at 12:34, the clock strikes the first 12, the next 3 hours, and the last 4 hours. This allows instant time display without having to look at the Jacob & Co watch face. Twin Turbo Furious Rose Gold is in the dark, although this feature isn’t really useful either, as there are a lot of smart timer tools out there these days.

At first glance, the dial beneath the Jacob & Co. sapphire crystal can be confusing. Twin Turbo Furious Rose Gold is a symphony of numbers, colors and hands. The main dial, located above, is a slightly translucent black smoked sapphire with the Jacob & Co logo. On the edge of the dial is a very fine white Super-LumiNova luminous chronograph 60-second counter. Additionally, users will notice a count ring displayed as the name of the Pit Board.

Simply put, the Pit Board mechanism refers to the time difference between two chronographs. Combined with the chrono function of the red central seconds hand and the chronograph minute ring at 3 o’clock, the user can see how many seconds are ahead or behind the reference time. The user will use the crown itself to set the comparison time up to 5 minutes 59 seconds, indicated by a window at 6 o’clock (still on the main dial). discount replica watches

For the rest of the dial, Jacob & Co. gives way to the tourbillon, a mechanism revered in watchmaking. But in the machine Jacob & Co. Twin Turbo Furious rose gold, the complexity is doubled and tripled. The manufacturer arranges up to two tourbillon cages on the lower half of the watch. Each tourbillon cage rotates very fast, which explains why this watch is called Twin Turbo Furious.

In the first axis, the tourbillon cage rotates in 24 seconds, in the second, the tourbillon rotates in 8 seconds, and the third completes in 30 hours. At the bottom is a small but very useful mechanical watch power reserve that indicates whether it’s time to charge the internal movement.

Beneath the impressive main performance above is a beating heart called the Jacob & Co JCFM05. Flip the bottom of the Twin Turbo Furious watch upwards and the JCFM05 movement will reveal a beautifully handled and impressively small angle. The main frame plates and bridges are hand polished. Many parts are also evenly covered with black. The movement has a total of 75 jewels.

Without a doubt, the Jacob & Co. Twin Turbo Furious Rose Gold is one of those watches that appeals and stands out. Bold style and hidden craftsmanship are a perfect match for the radical form of this intricate machine. But often things are too different, and it is difficult for “monsters” to conquer 100% of the crowd. The combination of the three elements of the decimal minute repeater, the triple-axis double tourbillon cage, the monopusher chronograph and the Pit plate ensures that the Jacob & Co. Twin Turbo Furious is the first and only timepiece.

Waterproof, anti-magnetic and shock-resistant, these watches can be used in the world

Since the development of the replica swiss watches, in addition to the continuous changes in the appearance design, the enhancement of various performances is also one of the development directions. In some environments, solid and reliable quality is arguably more important than “surface work”. Nowadays, people like to use the concept of “three defenses” to measure certain products. For mechanical watches, “three defenses” are waterproof, antimagnetic, and shockproof. Today let’s take a look at those watches that are strong in their respective fields.

water proof

Water can be seen everywhere in our daily life, whether it is washing hands, brushing teeth, accidentally drowning in the rain, or even accidentally knocked over coffee, there is a high probability that the watch will come into contact with water, so the main waterproof function is. Diving watches are also one of the most popular watches of the moment. Many current dive watches have reached considerable diving depths and are moving towards higher standards.

When it comes to Rolex diving watches, the first thing that comes to mind may be the Submariner. Although it is famous, it is not the most outstanding in terms of water resistance. Among the many series of Rolex watches, the deep-dive Ref.126660, commonly known as the “ghost king”, has an astonishingly high waterproof depth of 3,900 meters. Thanks to the patented Ringlock system case structure developed by Rolex, it can withstand 3,900 The pressure of the water depth is equivalent to 3 tons, and its waterproof level is more than ten times that of the Submariner.

When it comes to diving watches, the Blancpain Fifty Fathoms must have a place. Once Blancpain and Rolex fought over who is the “world’s first diving watch”, although Blancpain’s influence in the field of diving watches is not as good as that of Rolex, Blancpain Fifty Fathoms still occupies a very important position. status. Released in 2013, the 50021 is waterproof to a depth of 1,000 meters and has a GMT dual time zone function. Today, it is still the overlord of the GMT dual time zone diving watch.

antimagnetic

Subject to the material, mechanical watches always have an inescapable natural enemy: the magnetic field. The magnetic mechanical watch will have a time error in light, or even stop in severe cases, which will seriously affect the use experience. Nowadays, with the development of science and technology, there are more and more electronic products around people. Especially in the past two years, the popularity of wireless charging function has made mechanical watches more exposed to magnetism in daily life.

In fact, as early as the last century, there were many watches with anti-magnetic functions. For example, the Milguss watch launched by Rolex in 1954 can resist the interference of magnetic fields of 1000 gauss intensity, and the modern version of the series “green glass” Ref.116400GV released in 2007 is particularly impressive. It has an anti-magnetic soft iron cover, and its thickness is much larger than other series, so it also has the nickname of “professional small steel gun”. As one of Rolex’s early “roasted seeds and nuts”, the price of green glass was once high, but now it has long faded from its former glory.

Rolex “Airmaster” Ref.116900 can be said to be the successor of green glass, not only the diameter and thickness of the watch are the same, but even the movement is equipped with the same Cal.3131 self-winding movement. This movement is upgraded based on Cal.3130. In addition to using the Paraflex shock absorber, it is also equipped with a blue hairspring, a Glucydur balance wheel, and a paramagnetic escapement made of amorphous nickel phosphide, which greatly improves the antimagnetic performance. In addition, Rolex’s iconic Oyster case and screw-in double-buckle lock make the “Airmaster” excellent waterproof. Although the “Airmaster” is positioned as an aviation watch, its waterproof performance is still far from that of a professional diving watch, but it is still able to cope with the usage scenarios in daily life, and its overall performance is not bad.

After cheap Rolex, let’s take a look at the performance of rival Omega. The hippocampus series 231.10.42.21.01.002 watch is dubbed “Bumblebee” by players because of its black and yellow dial design. This watch, released in 2013, has an antimagnetic ability of 15,000 gauss, which also refreshes the record for antimagnetic performance of a watch. In addition to using non-magnetic materials such as silicon hairspring to make the movement, the “Bumblebee” also added a unique titanium alloy balance shaft, which makes the movement’s anti-magnetic performance even better.

And another hippocampus ocean universe 600 meters series 215.30.44.21.01.002 commonly known as “quarter orange”, thanks to the use of three new technologies of coaxial escapement, silicon hairspring, and insulating material, Omega Cal.8900 The movement, the anti-magnetic ability reaches more than 15000 gauss. In addition to having the same outstanding anti-magnetic performance, it can also achieve a waterproof depth of 600 meters, and “going to the sky” is naturally no problem.

In addition to working hard on the case, changing the material of the movement can also improve the anti-magnetic performance. The most obvious change is to replace the silicon hairspring. Represented by Swatch Group’s Powermatic 80 and Caliber 80 movements, new products from Tissot, Mido, Certina and other brands have been replaced with silicon hairspring long-powered movements with better anti-magnetic properties.

Seismic

Although there are enough watches in the field of waterproof and anti-magnetic, shock resistance is still the weakest part of mechanical fake watches for sale. In fact, the research and development of anti-shock in watches and clocks is much earlier than waterproof and anti-magnetic. As early as the end of the 18th century, Mr. Breguet developed a shock absorber called “PARE-CHUTE”, which was the earliest shock absorber device for watches. Its design ideas have far-reaching influence on later generations.

To this day, the brand has also worked hard on shock absorbers to improve the shock resistance of watches. In 2005, Rolex introduced the Paraflex shock absorber, which increased the shock resistance by 50% according to the brand information. In 2006, Breguet’s new-generation 777Q movement was the first to use Nivachoc shock absorbers. As a brand of the same group, it has been gradually promoted to Longines, Radar, Omega and other movements. It is believed that in the future, waterproof, anti-magnetic, and shock-proof will become the standard for more and more watches.
