In 2014, he translated his intimate passion into an  ambitious timepiece concept. Astronomia is an unheard-of translation of  astrophysics into watchmaking form. Astronomia Solar Zodiac is a  smaller, deeper and more intensely gem-oriented version of this  planetary creation. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Astronomia Solar Zodiac case is designed like an astronomer's  observatory. It's a 43.40-mm version of the original Astronomia case,  rounded, vertical and surrounded with four transparent sapphire panes.  Their transparency offers a galaxy-wide view, with wrist-friendly-sized  dimensions. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA vibrant sun sits at the top of the movement, giving the  collection its name. The rotating satellite holds three more planets.  All four symbolic stellar bodies are made from Jacob-cut, 288-facet gems  of intense color, showcasing the unique Jacob \u0026amp; Co. signature  shape. A starry night sky made of aventurine stone serves as a base  underneath it all, inlaid with seven planets made of a selection of hard  stone cabochons :  white granite for Mercury, rhodonite for Venus, red  jasper for Mars, pietersite for Jupiter, tiger eye for Saturn (18K Rose  Gold applique for the rings), blue calcite for Uranus and lapis for  Neptune. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDEVELOPMENT PROCESS \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCreating a miniature, mechanical solar system required going  beyond all preconceptions, innovating and breaking barriers, like space  exploration. Caliber JCAM19 is one of the most advanced and complex  movements in the Jacob \u0026amp; Co. catalog. Jacob \u0026amp; Co. holds patents  that govern its inner workings. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCaliber JCAM19 is a three-dimensional movement with a central,  vertical axis. It carries four satellites. All of them rotate on their  individual axis, and around the central axis. A double-axis tourbillon,  an Earth globe, a rotating dial, planets made of gems spinning on  themselves, its complications take on the form of planetary bodies. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOrbits are defined by their speed. The rotation of Astronomia  Solar Constellations' central axis impacts energy management, power  reserve and most of all, the impression it leaves on the viewer. The  platform’s full rotation takes 10 minutes. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTHE COMPLICATIONS AND FEATURES \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAstronomia Solar Zodiac blends constant motion and extreme  precision. It is a choreography of celestial bodies that are actually  complications, achieved by exclusive, hand-wound Caliber JCAM19.\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTHE ROTATING PLATFORM\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe most visually striking feature of Astronomia Solar Zodiac is  its structure. From the aventurine glass back-dial emerges a vertical  platform. It revolves on its own axis in 10 minutes. Its constant motion  powers all the movement's functions and indications.\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTHE DOUBLE-AXIS FLYING TOURBILLONAt the end of one satellite arm  hangs a flying tourbillon. It's held inside an openworked carriage. It  revolves on its axis in 60 seconds. Since it travels along with the  central platform, this adds a second axis, with a 10-minute rotation  period.\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTHE ORBITAL DIAL \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt the end of another satellite arm lies the hour and minute  dial. The platform rotation would normally shift the numbers and make  their reading impossible. Jacob \u0026amp; Co. has fitted the dial with a  patented differential system. It spins in the opposite direction of the  platform, at the same speed. As a result, its 12 Zodiac signs remain  constantly upright and readable. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTHE PLANETS \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe satellite arms carry three gem-made planets, spinning at the  same 10-minute per rotation speed as the large central sun that  dominates it all. Another part of the platform bears a Jacob-cut,  288-facet diamond moon and a rotating earth globe. The titanium base is  also spinning counterclockwise in ten minutes, and is inlaid with  another seven planets.\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTHE LIFESTYLE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAstronomia Solar Zodiac embraces its spectacular nature.
