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.
Richard Mille RM 65-01 Split-Seconds Chronograph in Blue Pastel and Yellow Quartz TPT
Originally available in titanium, carbon TPT, red gold and carbon TPT, and grey quartz TPT, the Richard Mille RM65-01 Split-Seconds Chronograph high quality replica watches is now available in dark yellow quartz TPT and light blue quartz TPT. Five years of development represent a double achievement: the creation of a split-seconds chronograph – the most complicated automatic watch ever produced by the RM workshops – and its production beyond a limited series. During the design process, this high-frequency model was supplemented with a new gearbox in the form of a function selector in the crown and a quick-winding pusher for the movement. It’s a first. The new Richard Mille RM 65-01 split-seconds chronograph, in a quartz TPT case measuring 44.50 x 49.94 x 16.10 mm, is a feat of watchmaking.
Starting or stopping the chronograph is done with the pusher at 2 o'clock. Pressing another pusher at 4 o'clock resets the hands, and pressing the pusher at 10 o'clock stops the split-seconds hand to read an intermediate time when the chronograph is started. Pressing the pusher again causes the split-seconds hand to rejoin the chronograph hand. There is a 30-minute totalizer at 3 o'clock, a 12-hour totalizer at 9 o'clock, a running seconds indicator at 6 o'clock, a selector indicator at 5 o'clock, and a vertical date window at 11 o'clock.
The design and construction of the replica watches swiss demonstrates a highly conceptual, holistic approach to movement, case and dial. As a result, everything is manufactured to extremely exacting specifications, using analytical engineering methods used in Formula 1 car design, with chassis and engine developed in complete harmony. For example, case rings are no longer used, and the movement is mounted on chassis mounting rubbers —ISO SW— secured by grade 5 titanium screws. These features are a testament to the craftsmanship. The three-part case is water-resistant to 50 meters and sealed by 2 Nitrile O-rings. The case is assembled with 20 spline screws in grade 5 titanium and wear-resistant washers in 316L stainless steel.
Given its technical advantages, i.e. a movement made up of 480 parts, we knew from the outset that the development phase would be long and complex, as all the "instructions" had to be rigorously checked. But the advantage is that once stabilized, this movement remains extremely consistent. This split-seconds chronograph has undergone a series of rigorous tests that had to prove that it would function properly in all conditions.

This chronograph, crafted for the 21st century, has a high-frequency balance with variable inertia - 5 Hz or 36,000 vph - that provides exceptional chronometric accuracy over a longer period of time and can calculate times to the tenth of a second. A true racing engine, with a split-second hand for calculating intermediate times.
The integrated 60-hour power reserve automatic movement demonstrates unwavering consistency with its 6-column-wheel architecture and vertical coupling technology. Like a mechanical brain, this battlemented component coordinates the various controls and can be seen through the base. Standing on a grade 5 titanium chassis and supported by grade 5 titanium bridges, this mechanical cathedral receives its energy from a rapidly rotating barrel that maintains an ideal torque for energy transmission throughout the duration of its 60-hour power reserve. The barrel's automatic winding function also ensures that the best Replica Watches maintains optimal torque when worn on the wrist.
This chronograph has also undergone a series of rigorous tests to prove its correct function in all circumstances. These tests range from shock and drop simulations to a 10-year accelerated aging phase for all functions, to water resistance testing and resistance to magnetic fields.
Another milestone is that Richard Mille has developed its first in-house patented rapid-winding mechanism, which is activated via a pusher at 8 o'clock. After 125 presses, the barrel is fully wound and ready to time your next event. Richard Mille engineers call this practical function "very interesting", but particularly difficult to develop due to its high torque transmission level. During ageing tests, the function was activated thousands of times. The Perfect Replica Watches also features a new gearbox in the form of a function selector inside the crown. This system allows switching between "traditional" winding (W), semi-instantaneous date adjustment (D) or setting the time (H) by simply pressing the crown.
Quartz TPT and Carbon TPT have an excellent setting surface and are composed of layers of parallel filaments obtained by separating silicon dioxide and carbon threads. Quartz fibers are generally used in very high-performance applications because they are resistant to high temperatures, have high strength and are transparent to electromagnetic waves. The fiber layers are no thicker than 45 microns and are impregnated with a grey resin developed specifically for Richard Mille. The layers are then stacked using an automatic positioning system that changes the direction of the fibers by 45 degrees between each layer. After heating to 120 degrees Celsius and applying 6 bars of pressure, they are processed on CNC machines in Richard Mille's manufacturing plant. Carbon TPT is made using the same process but is made from carbon thread. reviews Replica Watches
