I'd rather use my ass grater on myself than put a Jacob on my wrist.

Jacob & Co Casino Tourbillon Released, with Functional Spinning Roulette Feature, JC Factory? Heavy Videos and Pictures
- Thread starter Reaps
- Start date
I'm gonna wait for TDs to offer, then will jump on it. Let me know if you see one who is.
How very interesting. I wonder if the dials on the back are functional for setting the time and winding the mainspring.
I hate this watch more and more every time I look at it, in the context of actually wearing it. However, I seriously appreciate their wild ingenuity and crazy designs.
But i just noticed the Black case one, is that a fantasy version? I can't find a real example of that on their site. Also, if they're selling a pvd or dlc for nearly half a million dollars, then I really do hate them.
Edit**just watched the assembly video on their site and i take it all back, it's awesome. And to see it casually being assembled on what looks like my dirty ass table. I could see some dust and stuff

Black version is fantasy. But I'm sure Jacob would make an all black variant custom made you ask for 20 grand more. Hahaha
Really looking forward to if this dealer will actually sell a replica like this for $400.
I've been looking everywhere for something like this but the closest I can find is the Aliexpress Pindu watch which isn't really that nice of a replica.
Please keep us informed if there's any updates to this.
Thanks for putting your effort into this!

I'll spend the money just to smash the damn thing with a hammer.
I can confirm this piece exists, more and more pictures are trickling in outside of promotional photos. Price requoted from $400 to $450. But still not bad.
I am still curious what kind of movement and mechanism they have done to do this. I mean, readjusting a stock movement to have some kind of release of power from the mainspring, as well as shifting the keyless works to the back to have a different way to set the time... it must have some extensive modification, which makes me worried about how well this thing will hold up, especially because if I get one, I know I'll be abusing the wheel every day, maybe even every couple of hours. LOL

Also, at 44mm and 16.3mm thick, it's beefier than a Panerai and close to a Ultra Deep size lol.
I guarantee someone took some cheap chrono movement (maybe ST19) and then just made a custom hand that is the roulette ball, and then took a gear, cut out random teeth, so it appears random when the chrono function (the ball "spinning") is activated. I bet the randomness will be really poor, just because introducing this mechanically at this level is no doubt difficult.
I should put $400 on a roulette table and if I win, buy this watch.
And if I lose, think about how stupid I am for the next few weeks.

I actually like this idea as the decider for if I buy this watch or not.
Love it
I've got a great idea
....Send me $400 and if I buy a watch you don't get it, if I decide not to buy a watch I'll buy the Roulette watch and give them your address to ship it to
I regret to inform you all that I will NOT be buying this ugly ass watch.
Just to be clear, the watch pictured is awesome and the strap I have it on is even more awesomer. I'm refering to the roulette watch which is ugly.I regret to inform you all that I will NOT be buying this ugly ass watch.
