Description of the Jacob & Co. Watch

The Jacob & Co Astronomia Art 4 Skulls Rose Gold Baguette AT802.40.BD.UB.ABALA is a bold haute horlogerie artwork that combines rebellious artistic expression with extraordinary Swiss mechanical craftsmanship.

Blending gothic-inspired artistry with astronomical watchmaking, the timepiece represents one of Jacob & Co.’s most daring and collectible creations.

Can the Jacob & Co Astronomia Art 4 Skulls Become Dubai’s Best Luxury Watch

The Astronomia Art 4 Skulls captures the spirit of Dubai’s ultra-luxury watch culture through its fearless design, gemstone artistry, and highly theatrical movement architecture. Unlike traditional haute horlogerie creations, this Pièce Unique masterpiece transforms the Astronomia platform into a dark artistic universe featuring sculpted rose gold skulls, ruby eyes, and a celestial rotating display beneath a domed sapphire crystal. Its combination of high jewelry finishing, avant-garde aesthetics, and double-axis tourbillon engineering makes it one of the most visually unforgettable Jacob & Co watches available in Dubai.

Design and Craftsmanship

The watch features a 50 mm 18K rose gold case enhanced with 80 baguette-cut white diamonds on the lugs totaling approximately 6.10 carats. Beneath the unique domed sapphire crystal lies an aventurine base carrying four sculpted 3D rose gold skulls set with cabochon ruby eyes, creating a dramatic cosmic and gothic-inspired visual display. The rotating Jacob-cut diamond and blue lacquered magnesium globe add continuous motion and brilliance throughout the openworked architecture, while the blued Jacob & Co.-designed hands provide elegant contrast against the artistic dial composition.

Movement and Performance

At the heart of the Astronomia Art 4 Skulls lies the exclusive Jacob & Co. Manual Winding Caliber JCAM25, a hand-finished mechanical movement composed of 384 components and 42 jewels. Operating at 21,600 vibrations per hour, the movement delivers approximately 60 hours of power reserve while powering a static vertical four-arm movement architecture. The double-axis tourbillon rotates on its first cage every 60 seconds and on its second cage every 2.5 minutes. The rotating 288-facet Jacob-cut diamond and magnesium globe each complete a full rotation every 30 seconds, creating constant animation and visual depth.
