Watchmaker Jacob & Co. has made a unique, $1.5M timepiece inspired by Bugatti's $3M Chiron hypercar, and we spoke to the CEO about how it was made.
Imagine you’ve just spent $3 million on a new Bugatti Chiron, and want an appropriately pricey and suitably unique watch to go along with it. Innovative watchmaker Jacob & Co. has exactly what you want — the Bugatti Chiron Blue Sapphire Crystal. This incredible watch is a pièce unique, meaning there is only one in the world, and it has been valued at — please sit down for this — $1.5 million.
Shaping sapphire crystal The W16 engine returns for the one-off Bugatti Chiron Blue Sapphire Crystal, Jacob & Co’s latest incarnation of the design, which you see here. This time it’s mounted inside a fully transparent case made of sapphire crystal, and if that wasn’t challenging enough, the company decided to make the sapphire blue.
If anything were to go wrong during this time, the whole process would, of course, have to start all over again. But what could go wrong? Inclusions are visible marks which occur in both natural and synthetic sapphire crystal, often after it has been heated at high temperatures. Inclusions are obviously undesirable in a piece designed to be completely transparent, and Arabov said if any were spotted, they would have to start again.
