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.
Panerai's innovative Submersible Elux LAB-ID features mechanical luminescence without the need for a generator
The latest creation through Panerai's Laboratorio di Idee, the Submersible Elux LAB-ID, features mechanical luminescence which can be activated via a push-button in 8: 30. discount replica watches Rather than using a dynamo because previous mechanical backlights do, it uses a complex six-barrel system wound by a common automatic rotor.
Despite its complex building, it is water-resistant to 500 meters.
Through the years, the problem of luminescence within watches, especially dive timepieces, has been solved in many ways. The very first luminous watches used radioactive pigments containing radium (including Panerai's original innovation Radiomir), which was gradually replaced through less harmful tritium. These days, phosphorescent pigments have all however replaced radioactive pigments, as well as pigments based on strontium aluminate, such as Super-LumiNova, are all-pervasive in the industry.
Quartz replica watches swiss have fixed this problem by using LED backlights, which can be activated at the press of a button and function even in ambient light circumstances. Panerai has taken this concept and also applied it to a mechanised timepiece, the Submersible Elux LAB-ID, which is able to light up on demand, powered simply by an all-mechanical energy book with no active electronics needed - an impressive feat.
The name Elux really refers to another discontinued along with lesser-known Panerai technology. Panerai’s Elux products were initially electroluminescent panels powered by simply small chemical batteries or perhaps a fixed AC power resource, intended for naval and army applications. Panerai Elux items also include lights, signals, inclinometers and instrument panels. It is nice to see the Elux title appearing on watches once again.
This Panerai is not the first watch in order to feature mechanical illumination or even luminous features. For example , the actual De Bethune DB28GS Grand Bleu, launched in 2019, also features mechanical lighting, which uses a generator (combined with energy from the physical power reserve) to illuminate the moment track when the pusher from six o’clock is triggered, just like an old-school bike light. However , the Submersible Elux LAB-ID differs through the De Bethune in that will not use a generator at all. Rather, its Calibre P. 9010/EL features six barrels : four for lighting in addition to two for chronographing ~ which are wound and billed via an automatic rotor. Patek Philippe replica watches
Triggered via a push-piece at 8: 30, these four barrels unwind in an 8 x 2 .3 mm micro-generator, which then powers the watch’s hour markers, hands, viser, and LEDs on the lit power reserve indicator. This is an additional key innovation that the Submersible Elux LAB-ID brings to the table: the ability to mechanically illuminate relocating parts. Specifically, it’s in a position to provide up to 30 minutes associated with continuous illumination, which is quite impressive. The two barrels focused on chronographing mean the watch may run for three days on the full charge, even if the energy lamp runs out of power.
All this situation means that the Panerai Submersible Elux LAB-ID is not a little watch, measuring a whopping forty-nine mm, but Panerai is not known for making slim, little watches. However , its circumstance is made of Ti-Ceramitech, a amazing ceramic titanium that has a impressive azure blue appearance and it is 44% lighter than metal, but 10 times more break tough than traditional hard. It’s a futuristic watch, using the blue of its event and bezel contrasting with all the deep green dial and the majority neon green lume. replica Porsche Design watches
This particular watch isn’t entirely mechanically illuminated, though - a minimum of not technically. Its hours markers and hour fingers are in green Super-LumiNova X2, while the minute hand as well as bezel are in blue Super-LumiNova X1. However , these are truly just embellishments, and the majority from the light-emitting parts of the watch tend to be mechanically generated. They don’t take away from the fact that this view is incredibly innovative and extremely cool. I mean, it has a kinetic backlight - how amazing is that?
