Jacob & Co. Astronomia Casino is a top-level timepiece that perfectly combines mechanical watchmaking with fun entertainment. Its design concept breaks through the functional boundaries of traditional watches and creates a highly topical work of art by combining the movement of celestial bodies with casino elements. The following analyzes its unique charm from multiple dimensions: 1. Design philosophy and aesthetic breakthrough
Three-dimensional structure
The case has a diameter of 47 mm and a thickness of 24 mm. It is made of 18K rose gold and has five sapphire crystal windows (with a dome design on the top) to form a full-dimensional perspective effect. The detachable lacquered wood case frame echoes the black lacquered natural wood watch box, and the hardware is embellished with 18K red gold, integrating jewelry craftsmanship with mechanical aesthetics.
Dynamic visual spectacle
The four-arm satellite structure is centered on the central vertical axis, and each arm end is equipped with different functional modules:
Dual-axis tourbillon: Located in one of the arms, it rotates once in 60 seconds, and completes a revolution every 10 minutes with the central platform. The hollow frame reduces air resistance and improves anti-interference ability.
Magnesium globe: hand-painted blue, rotates once every 30 seconds, the outline of the continents is clearly visible, showing the dynamic rhythm of the earth's rotation.
Diamond Moon: inlaid with 288-faceted Jacob-cut diamonds, the patented suspension technology simulates the waxing and waning of the moon.
Rotating dial: the differential system offsets the impact of platform rotation to ensure that the time display is always upright and readable, breaking through the space limitations of traditional watches.
Mechanical interpretation of casino elements
The bottom of the movement integrates an operable micro-roulette module, 37 enamel pockets (1-36 are red and black, 0 is green), white ceramic balls and four-spoke turrets to form a complete gambling device. The button at the eight o'clock position not only starts the rotation of the roulette wheel, but also winds the animation function synchronously. The ceramic ball bounces randomly under the action of centrifugal force, realizing an immersive experience of "casino on the wrist".
