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.
Just Because Audemars Piguet Unveils Unprecedented Color Camouflage Gold Alloy replica watches on sale
Following a Chroma Ceramic concept, the actual camouflage idea has now also been applied to solid gold (yes, bold and cool).
Earlier this year, as well as launching several new watches, such as the RO Perpetual throughout John Mayer and the Mud Gold alloy for the RO Openworked Tourbillon, Audemars Piguet also launched an unexpected brand-new color ceramic called Chroma Ceramic, which features a polarizing but cool camouflage design. Similarly, Audemars Piguet has applied this concept to a platinum alloy, an industry first. This kind of camouflage gold alloy, referred to as Chroma Gold, is strong and unconventional, but can be fascinating is that we are not necessarily looking at a coating: really solid camouflage gold. Anyway, it's really cool - at least very creative.
In its recent history, Audemars Piguet has boldly adopted modern and unconventional materials. Back 1972, Audemars Piguet launched the use of stainless steel in its discount replica watches , the Royal Oak Big Mac, when gold should still be the norm. It was primarily the particular Royal Oak Offshore and its particular bold, avant-garde design in which opened the door to materials innovation, with titanium looking in 1998, forged carbon 7 years ago, and ceramic in 08. The Royal Oak Strategy in 2002 took advancement to the next level, with a case incorporating titanium and Alacrite 602, a lightweight and extremely durable high tech alloy. In 2023, Audemars Piguet introduced a important form of Bulk Metallic Wine glass (BMG), first used in typically the Royal Oak Grand Macan 16202XT. As mentioned above, earlier this current year we saw the entrance of the Chroma Concept, a unprecedented camouflage of porcelain (a solid material, not only a coating or separately attached ceramic parts).
Using the same technology while Chroma Ceramic, Audemars Piguet has introduced a less significant, more luxurious but conceptually identical product, a hidden gold alloy called Chroma Gold. Like the ceramic, that is pure gold. It's not dyed, coated, or manufactured by machining separate parts after which gluing or bonding these people together… It is a more complex course of action that produces a homogeneous substance that presents different gradation of gold on one piece. Like it, the method behind it is exciting. Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Double Balance Wheel
Now how is this Camouflage Gold or maybe Chroma Gold material built? As you can see, it combines 3 classic colors of yellow metal - white, yellow as well as pink - into one item of gold. Like the colored ceramics launched at the beginning of the year, the modern Chroma Gold is received using Spark Plasma Sintering (SPS) technology, which drastically reduces the sintering time period from several hours to many minutes. As Audemars Piguet explains: “To create this kind of colorful camouflage gold routine, the different colors of precious metal are transformed separately: often the gold is first melted and after that the droplets are atomized into powder. Each natural powder is then carefully placed in some sort of circular graphite mold in order to create the desired pattern. The shape is then sintered by completing a powerful electric current through the graphite. This current causes a well-defined increase in temperature, which, joined with mechanical pressure on both isn't stable of the mold, allows rapidly sintering. The resulting discs exhibit various shades of gold. ” Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Double Balance Wheel
This unrivaled technology creates a colorful real gold camouflage material. Typically the compression of the gold powder snow during the sintering process helps make each piece unique, for the reason that patterns vary slightly via model to model. “Despite these slight variations, it ensures visual consistency amongst the different components, ” Audemars Piguet explains. “Each dvd produced can be used to make a event, bezel or bracelet url, enhancing the unique look on the whole. ” All ingredients can then be classically finished with satin-brushed and polished chamfers for you to showcase the white, discolored and pink tones with this camouflage gold alloy. replica RICHARD MILLE RM 27-05
AP has not yet brought Chroma Gold to market. However , AP has created this 34mm Royal Oak Camouflage Pattern watch as a representative of Chroma Gold. As always, such a polarizing and also original concept will make men and women love it or hate the idea. Objectively speaking, this pink camo gold is indeed very enchanting! replica Chopard L.U.C Watches
