The $1million Jacob & Co Astronomia watch!

so we're back look it's two seconds since we just signed off from Leslie kinda happened time machine talking of time machines the moment you've all been waiting for I am going to reveal to you in great detail this amazing amazing watch the first thing I'm going to do is pop it on my wrist you want to make sure I have it the right way around because it's hard to tell alright let's pop it on the wrist and I'll show you exactly what this baby does how does that look what do you think Adam that is isn't it isn't that just incredible it's yeah it's enormous I mean that looks like twice the size like an officer it's actually only about six millimeters bigger case size but it's thicker right and it gives the illusion because it's also transparent on the sides so let me walk you through this best I can let's start with the clasp so the clasp is set with invisible I guess when I say invisible it's the setting is called an invisible setting where there's no gold in between the diamonds and these are absolutely flawless diamonds that have been cut individually so there's no gap in between any of them it just looks like one solid row of large diamond and it's incredibly well done now let's get to the work of art this is a triple axis terbium to beyond is considered one of the most complicated elements that a wristwatch can have it was originally developed I think in the 1700s by Breguet and ever since that point it's it's being improved and the point of it was back in the olden days people used to have pocket watches and they would dangle so the terbium was created to defeat gravity the gravitational pull which would make the watch timekeeping inaccurate and a lot of you will probably hear this and say now you're wrong you're wrong well I might be but it's close okay long story short they've evolved through time and this particular one is as far as anybody's ever taken it it is a triple axis which means the terbium itself turns in three different dimensions so as it circles around the zone escapement it also has a gyro function so it's turning against itself and it also rotates internally so there's three actions that it's taking it can you see it I can yeah can the camera ship well if it can't then I'll go to a cutaway where I can but I think I can get it here excellent there's such a so not only there's the Turbie on gyrate in on a three axis point but it also rotates in the dial itself so the entire movement will go round in a circle the way you tell the time is like a traditional watch it has a small watch face with powers and minutes which also rotates around the the entire watch continually and always remains vertical which is another achievement in yourself because it's always turning right to make it even more complicated there's a balance arm here that has a globe on it and that globe also turns do you see that mm-hmm I do and it's a very detailed globe quite an incredible achievement and you know that blow is made from is that a precious stone and you know I actually don't know what the globe is made from but if we look at the other end of this arm that comes through there is a another rotating circle and that circle is a flawless diamond which is cut from a very very large diamond because it needs to have the solid interior so in order to get the middle perfect you have to have a large stone so there's a lot of waste so they take a huge diamond and cut it down throw the rest away and leaves you with this perfect circle which is I don't remember how many facets it has but it has a lot and this also rotates in a counterclockwise way to the for the globe so it's just absolutely incredible now the case if we turn it sideways is domed and this is a domed sapphire and I know many people might say it's fragile but it's not it's very very strong and it's like an egg if you think of an egg being very strong the shell yes you can put your finger through an egg shell but if you try and squeeze one you won't break it I'm not going to try and squeeze this and prove the point but it is very very strong the next amazing aspect to this watch is the sides you can see through the side I'm actually going to lay it down which way should I do it this way yeah that way okay now this does not have a crown so I can like even you decide and in fact I will I'll put it that way and then we can turn it round reminds me of like a steampunk style watch no no steampunk I do not see anything but before you take the camera away look at the lugs on the side how these baguette diamonds are set in to luck we haven't got to the dial face yet which is the most incredible workmanship which we'll come to in a second in fact let's come to it right now so let's go back this way look at the dial behind this mechanical marvel the sections at all I get diamonds there's the camera focus on it yeah so each one of these is a section there are 12 sections every single diamond has been hand cut to be an absolute perfect fit but each diamond that touches it there's no gap at all can you imagine how much work that takes as amazing I can't even begin to imagine what an incredible incredible work of art there isn't only this is this goes beyond a watch oh yeah this isn't a watch this is a oh it should be in a museum right and I can't even begin to describe you know I don't know the answer to that question I know this different variants they they do them with dragons and they do them with different colors I don't know the specifics but I do know that that Jacob and Co have really stepped it up there's no other brand out there that creates a watch like this and that they have musical watches absolutely insane and all being well in the future I'll hopefully I'd want to my collection but when you see when you see what they do it's it's amazing and you hear them the sound that they develop when they play tunes it's just incredible and why they what are they play chains um why do they play well some of the super high-end watch companies they manufacture musical watches so they do them in different themes and when do they play the tune whenever you press a button already and there's a wheel much like the olden wheels in the desert you'll have a miniature piano inside you'll see the keys move and there's a rotating barrel and it's little metal arms and it makes music and then let's look at the back I'll show you how this works so in order to say I'm trying keep it very short in order to set the time you have this wheel here so what you do is you pull this up and you see that I don't even know you turn that and that alters the hands and so I'm going to close that and then we have the same here open that and this is the winder so this you actually turn and you wind it you see her yeah I won't do it the other one cuz it'll turn the time so that is the the watch winder and work of art actually just tells it a tiny bit towards me yeah I don't want to lay it on the crystal throne just holding it this way but what an incredible piece would you like to touch it oh well not letting you are you ready I'm ready okay okay do you really no stop it behave yourself it makes me very nervous cool and do they all come with a blue strap or you can have any color strap that your heart desires but yeah I mean of all watches I've ever seen ever touched ever felt ever put on my wrist nothing and I mean nothing comes close to this I mean who's it's it's it's like wearing a museum piece right isn't it I mean look at this very nice like it thank you for sharing oh very very welcome and yeah can't say enough about this I really can't say enough about this is this spectacular so there it is the Jacob and Co astronomia with I get diamonds I hope you enjoyed it I think it's magnificent and
