This limited edition Jacob & Co. watch is inspired by Bugatti's CHIRON HYPERCAR

Gentlemen, fire up your engines and get ready to rev your watch collection: Jacob & Co.'s latest stunning creation takes design inspiration from one of the coolest supercars on the planet.

The aptly named Jacob & Co. Bugatti Chiron Tourbillon draws inspiration from the Bugatti Chiron in a way never before seen in the rare world of supercar-inspired timepieces.

This timepiece goes a step further by replicating the Bugatti Chiron's powerful 16-cylinder engine with a 578-component movement, bringing the watch's "engine" to life through the right-hand crown.

From there, 16 pistons move up and down like an internal combustion engine, complete with two exhaust pipes and a turbocharger.

If that sounds like a near-impossible feat to demonstrate on a watch, you'd be right, but the effect is impressive, visually appealing and awe-inspiring.

It’s worth mentioning that the tourbillon movement itself is set at a 30-degree inclination, another incredibly precise design component that may make it worth even more than the exclusive price tag.

The power reserve and engine animation components of the tourbillon movement are both set on the same winding crown, simply utilizing different orientations to set it – another clever design touch.

The watch marks a new chapter in the partnership between the prestigious carmaker and the haute horlogerie, which kicked off with two watches in 2019.

Complementing such an intensive design process and a powerful and elegant end product, the Bugatti Chiron Tourbillon is just as elusive as a fast Bugatti. Watch lovers and car collectors take note.

Bugatti Chiron blue sapphire crystal watch with "engine" inside by Jacob & Co.

Jacob & Co. and Bugatti are back with another Chiron-inspired timepiece.

Inside the watch is a fully running miniature version of the Bugatti W16 engine. While the movement powers the chronograph functions and the 60-second flying tourbillon, the automation is engaged by pressing the right crown; when done, the mini 'engine' will kick in, causing its 16 pistons to pump and boost the two turbo to rotate.

The tonneau-shaped case is made entirely of sapphire crystal in a unique shade of blue, created through a mix of minerals and metals. While the color of the case is striking, it remains transparent enough to reveal every detail of the JCAM37 hand-wound movement, including a tilted 30º tourbillon. The transparent case also allows a glimpse of the 51 jewels used in the watch movement.

“At Jacob & Co., we’ve been developing luxury watches that no one else can imagine,” Jacob & Co. Chief Executive Benjamin Arabov said in a statement. "With the Bugatti Chiron Tourbillon timepiece, we did something that had never been attempted before and created the world's first true engine on the wrist."
