The brand started with dragons, octopi, spiders, horses and more. Incredibly successful, Jacob \u0026amp; Co. has expanded the Astronomia Tourbillon Art Collection every year since.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe Astronomia Tourbillon Black Dragon has a stunning all-black aesthetic. Based on the Astronomia Sky, the Astronomia Tourbillon Black Dragon has a blackened Grade 5 titanium dial applied with stars and constellations. On top of this rests the 18K black gold, hand-engraved dragon with rubies for eyes. The double-axis tourbillon, time display, and the spinning 288-facet Jacob-cut diamond are the only bright spots in this black masterpiece. Even the rotating globe is black-lacquered magnesium.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe Astronomia case is the perfect gallery for this sculpture as the domed top and curved sides are pure sapphire crystal, making it possible to see every detail of the high-watchmaking vertical double-axis tourbillon and the incredible 3-D hand-engraved 18K black gold sculpture of a fearsome dragon.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"buttons-container\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"layout-single-content-image\" id=\"high-watchmaking-serving-high-art-303370\" data-page-id=\"303370\" data-theme=\"\" data-layout-id=\"6596\" data-title=\"High Watchmaking Serving High Art\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"width-container\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"image-column\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/transform.octanecdn.com\/crop\/700x650\/https:\/\/dynamix-cdn.s3.amazonaws.com\/jacobandcocom\/jacobandcocom_706549140.jpg\" alt=\"a close up of a motorcycle\" class=\"content-image\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-src=\"https:\/\/transform.octanecdn.com\/crop\/700x650\/https:\/\/dynamix-cdn.s3.amazonaws.com\/jacobandcocom\/jacobandcocom_706549140.jpg\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"content-column inview-cascade-fade-up inview\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"section-title\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eHIGH WATCHMAKING SERVING HIGH ART\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"content-container\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe mythical dragon is a magnificent creature, representing strength and power, glory and good fortune. The Jacob \u0026amp; Co. artisan who crafts the dragon first does research to find the perfect dragon as source material, then works on the computer to create a detailed 3-D plan. From this, the 18K black gold cast is made. Finally, after two or more months, the detail work begins as every part of the dragon is gone over with a fine-toothed comb, every surface finished and engraved, then polished. This is an additional three months of painstaking work on the engraver's workbench.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThen the movement is assembled along with the sculpture, care taken to make sure nothing obstructs the perfect functioning of the watch.

For the Astronomia Tourbillon Black Dragon, the tourbillon is double-axis - turning in two axes: one in 60 seconds and the second in 2.5 minutes.

For the Astronomia Tourbillon, the brand developed the 288-facet Jacob-cut diamond. This special cut can be accomplished by only a select few gem cutters, and the rough stone typically starts out double the size of the finished diamond. The facets have to be incredibly precise so the diamond is perfectly symmetrical and round.
