Jacob & Co. Astronomia 1st attempt

[dadog13]

Seems like the chinese guys have started replicating more and more complex watches. It’s obvious that this one will have a lot of flaws but who knows what the future will bring us, they have to start somewhere. Replica watches 25 years ago, or even 10 yaers ago are not the same quality and complexity that we find these days. The hope to see something better in the future is still alive

Interesting...

It certainly looks like a decent attempt on the video, think the insides are fixxed and non moving though. Would be crazy if it did haha

How the movement is not work?

Could this be true? Like the ester bunny, santa?

Seens like just fake tourbillon, not really working one.

I love the ambition, but hate the watch in general.

Don't see the appeal in it...would've been interesting/exciting if the spinny things moved, but I don't think they do...So what's the point of repping something like this? I mean, to each their own, but IMO it's redeeming quality would be the complications, but without it, it's just a large chunk of glass and metal on an uncomfortable strap.

Here's the great vid of the Academia line by Jacob &Co. GEN's are beyond stunning:

cant recall if seagull recently released a spinning tourbillon, not the flying one but one rotating 360 over the Y axis... made me think about the PAM 350

Stuvetjee great find, the watch looks in the “acceptable” quality range judging from the photos. I wonder what will be the price range and hope to see a SS model, not a fan of gold/rose gold

SS is coming aswell, saw also same pics of that. Only thing is that it isnt going to turn around like the gen. It seems that it moves like a wobble.

It would be too much if it would turn around like the gen one..

 

[Wraithier]

If the inside doesn't move then what is the point?

If you're going to rep something like this then give me the Van Cleef & Aprels Midnight Planétarium, make it tell the time and let me advance the planets via pushers. :rofl:

hopefully it has same thickness as gen

Hahahaha -- I'm not sure if this was intended to be a joke, but I got a hearty chuckle out of it ...
