Jacob & Co. Astronomia Art Skulls

There is arguably no better symbol of the Jacob & Co motto, "Inspired by the Impossible," then the Astronomia, featuring a high horology movement that broke boundaries in the often complacent Swiss watch industry. The versatile in-house caliber has been used in timepieces with themes ranging from fine art to high stakes gambling.

The newest iteration of this timepiece is the one-of-a-kind Astronomia Skull. The dial of the 50mm watch contains a crypt of skulls and bones sculpted out of 45 grams of 18k rose gold intertwined among the well-known complications of this movement, which include the Double Axis Tourbillon and the two iconic symbols of the Astronomia: the 1-carat diamond that features the exclusive Jacob Cut with 288 facets and the magnesium globe. This unique piece combines exceptional mechanics with high artisan crafts.
