Panerai is the product of distinct traditions rooted in two different countries: the sophistication of Swiss watchmaking artistry and an illustrious history of design inheritance from Italy. They are the foundation of a respected brand that mixes advanced horological and aesthetic achievement.

HIGH SOPHISTICATION

The Luminor 8 Days Power Reserve Titanio has the same functions and the same design as the steel version but the case and the device for protecting the winding crown are made of titanium, with brushed finish and polished edges.

On this model too the choice of colours is highly sophisticated, involving various shades of brown: darker for the dial, lighter for the untreated natural leather strap, and beige for the Super-LumiNova® markers and the sewing of the strap.

 PANERAI TITANIUM

Light, strong and hypoallergenic, the remarkable physical, mechanical and corrosion-resistant qualities of titanium have made this metal one of the most valued in fine watchmaking, as well as a material of choice for the military, aeronautical and aerospace industries.

TECHNICAL CONTENT AND PURE DESIGN

The Luminor 8 Days Power Reserve Acciaio classic black sandwich dial with the small seconds counter at 9 o’clock and, for the first time in this model, the power reserve indicator at 5 o’clock, with the arrow hand inspired by some Panerai watches of the late 1990s

Every detail perfectly carries out the function for which it was designed and the rich combination of technical content and purity of design meets the highest standards of sports watchmaking.

Attention to detail is also evident in the choice of colours, such as the use of beige Super-LumiNova® on the dial, which coordinates perfectly with the brown leather strap and its beige sewing. 

LEFT HANDED

The most distinctive characteristic is the positioning of the winding crown and its related protecting device at 9 o’clock, which makes this model perfect for left-handers or those who prefer to wear the watch on the right wrist. 

Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO Left-handed watches are part of the history of Panerai, which since the 1940s has created such models for the frogmen of the Italian Navy, so that they could wear the other instruments needed for their missions, the compass and depth gauge, on the left wrist.

"AISI 316L 1.4435 stainless steel is Officine Panerais material par excellence since it is highly resistant to corrosion and is hypoallergenic, making it ideal for contact with the skin.

The Panerai watches created for the Italian Navy were made of austenitic stainless steel, a reliable material that was also resistant to the extreme environmental conditions in which the commandos operated."

JACOB & CO. – CASINO Tourbillion Gold Edition

JACOB & CO.HIGH COMPLICATION CASINO Tourbillion Gold Edition 2023

Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO   

On the occasion of the Geneva Watch Week,
here is the first exclusive piece unveiled by JACOB & CO


Casino Tourbillion
Playfulness is a complication

Life is a game. It deserves a gamesome timepiece. Casino is on par with the lifestyle offered by the Casino de Monte-Carlo or the high stakes room at the MGM Grand. This clean, lean and sleek roulette watch is dressed in rose gold and a black onyx dial, an unadulterated expression of Jacob & Co.'s cheerful nature and ingenuity. Playing with watchmaking classics, doing away with conventions and propriety, Casino sets a unique tone in today's horology.

Based in the most thorough technical paradigm, Casino features Jacob & Co.'s first-ever flying tourbillon located caseback-side, with high-end finishings and sophisticated material details. Leaving its entire expression space to a fully functional, free-spinning roulette, complete with 37 pockets and a white ball, Casino is designed for chance, hopes for luck and brings supreme exhilaration.

In 2019, Jacob & Co. launched one of the most successful versions of the Astronomia. Astronomia Casino has been manufactured in surprisingly high quantities given how specific and costly it actually is. As an integral part of the Astronomia collection, it offers a 10-minute rotating platform, a triple-axis tourbillon, a magnesium Earth globe and a spinning 288-facet, Jacob-cut diamond. Jacob & Co. has managed the design and technical feat of adding a fully working roulette to this already highly functional ensemble. The module which operates that roulette, its signature complication, has been plugged inside Jacob & Co.'s new complication timepiece Casino, thus giving it a unique personality. Casino is an expression of playfulness, the art of taking chances and incidentally, the love of gambling.

Pure lines

The Casino case takes its inspiration from the original Roulette timepiece by Jacob & Co., the Astronomia Casino. Yet its dimensions, shape, movement and construction are entirely new and dedicated to this specific piece. The 44-mm case body is crafted out of 18K rose gold and thoroughly polished. The caseband is curved, the bezel steep and the sapphire crystal generously domed, all of which creates a single harmonious line. It's fitted with four full and wide lugs, whose shape initiates the black alligator strap curve. These angles and this elaborate construction aim at slimming down the Casino profile and make for a more comfortable and ergonomic fit with wrists of all sizes.

One of the attributes Casino shares with its forbearer the absence of a crown. Time-setting and winding are both operated with bows placed against the caseback. Seen from above, Casino is therefore as smooth as possible given the presence of an essential appendage : the Roulette pusher at 8 o'clock. The pusher itself is square and large so as to offer the best finger contact possible. To blend it with the Casino overall case profile, it's surrounded by a long, crescent-shaped crown guard.

Pure luck

This pusher is the heart of the Casino as it operates its signature function, elevated to the rank of an actual watchmaking complication. Casino is a genuine Roulette game. Once laid out flat on a table, it operates as a fully random game of chance. The pusher propels the wheelhead, complete with 37 pockets, 1 green, 18 red and 18 black. The mechanical construction of this movement part rests on a set of ceramic ball bearings of extremely high quality. The wheelhead spins with high speed and very little friction.

Meanwhile, a white ceramic ball bounces inside Casino. It flies throughout the lower part of the dial and flange, which is fitted with eight diamonds-shaped deflectors. Randomization is at its best and makes the Casino a true portable game, not just a testament to the wearer's love for Roulette, taking chances or any other symbol they may see in Casino.

Pure luxury

The gambling establishments Jacob & Co. used as an inspiration for Casino are the likes of the high-stakes room at the Bellagio and the plush carpeted floors of the Monte-Carlo Casino. The finishings and details of this timepiece set the same tone. The hours and minutes dial is made of a single slab of black onyx, mirror-polished and fitted with applied, 5N gold indices. Their kite-shape is a nod to the kite-cut sapphires, used in several Jacob & Co. creations.

The black PVD flange contains eight diamond-shaped deflectors, which aim at rising the variance level of the roulette game. The wheeltrack flange, that small wall at the foot of the upper side of the dial, is mirror polished, like on an actual roulette, and leaves a small space between the dial and the sapphire crystal. A space large enough for the entire dial and wheeltrack to act as one continuous ensemble, but small enough for the ball to stay down and end up in one of the 37 pockets.

Pure sense of details

Although Casino offers a familiar face to those who already know Astronomia Casino, caliber JCAM51 is an entirely new creation. The Roulette module rests on a last generation base calibre, with a comfortable and week-end-in-Vegas-proof power reserve of 72 hours. It's regulated by a flying tourbillon located on the back side of the case.

Its carriage ushers in a new Jacob & Co. design as its arms are engraved and lacquered in the exact same way as the wheelhead. This black and red pattern is also laid out on two applied plates, screwed on the caseback on either side of the bows acting as winding and time-setting crowns. The numbers appear in the same order as the ones on the opposite side of Casino.

The sense of exhilaration and excitement that has become Jacob & Co.'s unique signature reaches a new level. The sleek, black dial of Casino has tuxedo-like appeal. The Roulette complication is Vegas-worthy. And the understated yet highly symbolic tourbillon signals the true high watchmaking nature of Jacob & Co.'s watchmaking.
