Description of the Jacob & Co. Watch

The Jacob & Co Astronomia Maestro Rose Gold AM500.40.AA.AA.ABALA is a groundbreaking haute horlogerie masterpiece that combines astronomical complications, a minute repeater carillon, and a triple-axis flying tourbillon within a spectacular rotating movement architecture. Crafted in 18K rose gold with a single-piece sapphire crystal case, this extraordinary timepiece transforms celestial inspiration into a fully animated mechanical universe featuring a rotating Earth globe, a hand-painted astronaut, and a rotating Jacob-cut diamond.

What Makes the Jacob & Co Astronomia Maestro One of Dubai’s Best Luxury Watches

The Astronomia Maestro stands among the most technically impressive watches admired by Dubai luxury collectors thanks to its revolutionary combination of a visible triple-axis flying tourbillon and a minute repeater carillon with elevated spiral gongs. Inspired by space exploration and celestial motion, the watch delivers constant animation through rotating cosmic elements while showcasing one of the most visually dramatic chiming systems ever created in haute horlogerie. Its futuristic architecture and extreme mechanical complexity make it one of the most exclusive Jacob & Co masterpieces available in Dubai.

Design and Craftsmanship

The watch features a 50 mm 18K rose gold case enclosed beneath a unique domed sapphire crystal with anti-reflective treatment, creating panoramic visibility of the rotating movement. The openworked aluminum and titanium dial architecture is accented with blue PVD indexes, while the vertical four-arm platform carries a rotating Earth globe, a hand-painted astronaut, and a 288-facet Jacob-cut white diamond. The exposed triple-axis flying tourbillon and elevated spiral minute repeater gongs create exceptional visual depth, showcasing Jacob & Co.’s mastery of avant-garde mechanical artistry.

Movement and Performance

At the heart of the Astronomia Maestro lies the Manufacture Jacob & Co. Manual Winding Caliber JCFM11A, a highly sophisticated movement equipped with 61 jewels and engineered for exceptional acoustic and mechanical performance. Operating at 21,600 vibrations per hour, the movement delivers approximately 50 hours of power reserve while powering a vertical rotating platform completing one full revolution every 10 minutes. The gravitational triple-axis flying tourbillon rotates on its first cage every 60 seconds and on its second cage every 90 seconds. The integrated minute repeater carillon features three elevated spiral gongs and three hammers visible at 6 o’clock, striking hours, quarter-hours, and minutes with exceptional resonance.
