Playfulness is a complex element: Jacob & Co. Casino Tourbillon
Life is like a play, and deserves a timepiece to match. The Casino watch complements the luxurious style of the Monte Carlo Casino or the high-stakes gaming lounges of the MGM Grand. This simple, lightweight, and stylish roulette watch, with its rose gold case and black onyx dial, perfectly embodies Jacob & Co.’s relaxed and joyful personality and ingenious design philosophy. Breaking free from the constraints of traditional watchmaking, the Casino watch defies convention and stands out in the world of watchmaking today.
Based on the most rigorous technical principles, the Casino watch features Jacob & Co.’s first flying tourbillon, housed on the case back and adorned with high-end finishing and exquisite material details. The entire interior space is dedicated to creating a fully functional, free-rotating roulette wheel with 37 slots and a white ball. The Casino watch aims to bring opportunity, good fortune, and ultimate enjoyment. shopping replica watches
In 2019, Jacob & Co. launched one of the most successful versions of the Astronomia collection – the Astronomia Casino. Given its unique design and high cost, the Astronomia Casino’s production volume was surprisingly high. As an important part of the Astronomia collection, it features a 10-minute rotating platform, a three-axis tourbillon, a magnesium globe, and a rotating 288-facet Jacob-cut diamond. Jacob & Co. cleverly integrated a fully functional roulette mechanism into this powerful timepiece, achieving a breakthrough in design and a feat in technology. The module driving the roulette wheel (its iconic complication) is subtly embedded in Jacob & Co.’s new complicated timepiece, the Casino, giving it a unique personality. The Casino symbolizes a spirit of play, adventure, and a love of gambling.
Pure Lines
The Casino watch’s design is inspired by Jacob & Co.’s classic roulette watch – the Astronomia Casino. However, its size, shape, movement, and structure are all newly designed and tailored specifically for this timepiece. The 44mm case is crafted from 18K rose gold and finely polished. The case sides are curved, the bezel is steep, and the sapphire crystal is wide and domed, all elements working together to create a harmonious and flowing line. The watch features four full, wide lugs, their shape perfectly complementing the curves of the black alligator leather strap. These angles and ingenious construction are designed to make the Casino replica watch slimmer and provide a more comfortable fit for wrists of all sizes.
A characteristic shared with its predecessors is the absence of a crown. Time setting and winding are both done via a lever located on the case back. Therefore, viewed from above, the Casino watch maintains a remarkably smooth overall line while retaining a key component—the wheel pusher at 8 o’clock. The pusher itself is square and large to ensure optimal fingertip comfort. To integrate it with the overall silhouette of the Casino watch, a slender, crescent-shaped crown guard surrounds the pusher.
Pure Luck
This pusher is the heart of the Casino watch, responsible for performing its signature function—a true complication. Casino is a true roulette game. It lies flat on a table and runs completely randomly. A button drives the roulette wheel, which has 37 slots: one green, 18 red, and 18 black. The mechanical structure of the movement is supported by a set of extremely high-quality ceramic ball bearings. The roulette spins at high speed with minimal friction.
Meanwhile, a white ceramic ball bounces inside the “Casino.” It darts rapidly across the lower part of the dial and bezel, which are fitted with eight diamond-shaped deflectors. The randomness is maximized, making “Casino” a truly portable game, not just a reflection of the wearer’s love for roulette, adventure, or any other symbol within the “Casino.”
Pure Luxury
Jacob & Co. created this watch, named “Casino,” inspired by places like the high-stakes lobby of the Bellagio Hotel and the luxurious carpets of the Monte Carlo Casino. The watch’s finish and details also reflect this same style. The hour and minute hands are crafted from a single piece of black onyx, mirror-polished, and set with applied 5N gold hour markers. The kite-shaped design of the hour markers echoes the kite-cut sapphire used in many Jacob & Co. pieces. best replica watches
The black PVD-coated roulette wheel flange is inlaid with eight diamond-shaped guide vanes, designed to enhance the randomness of the roulette game. The roulette wheel track flange (the small wall at the bottom of the dial) is mirror-polished, just like a real roulette wheel, and leaves a tiny gap between the dial and the sapphire crystal. This gap is large enough to seamlessly integrate the dial and the roulette wheel track, yet small enough to prevent the ball from rolling off and ensuring it lands in one of the 37 slots.
Pure Detail Perception
While the appearance of the Casino watch will be familiar to those acquainted with Astronomia Casino, its JCAM51 movement is entirely new. The roulette wheel module, based on the previous generation’s base movement, boasts a generous 72-hour power reserve, more than enough for a weekend of revelry in Las Vegas. A flying tourbillon on the case back controls the power reserve.
The watch case features a completely new design from Jacob & Co., with the same engraving and lacquering finish on the armrests as the roulette wheel. This black and red pattern also appears on two plates, screwed to either side of the case back, flanking the crown for winding and time setting. The numerals are arranged in the same order as on the other side of the casino dial.
Jacob & Co.’s signature excitement and passion are elevated to new heights. The casino watch’s black dial features sleek lines, as elegant as a tuxedo. The roulette complication is a perfect embodiment of Las Vegas style. The understated yet highly symbolic tourbillon, on the other hand, showcases the true essence of Jacob & Co.’s haute horlogerie craftsmanship. replica watches online
