The Jacob & Co. Twin Turbo Furious is the first timepiece to ever combine a Twin Triple Axis Tourbillon, Minute repeater and a Monopusher Chronograph in one watch. Designed as a follow-up to the 2016 Twin Turbo, this new watch is made up of 832 parts, including 75 jewels. This level of machining gives the watch an impressive appearance but also comes attached with a price tag of $531,825.
The case of the Twin Turbo Furious timepiece houses the hand-wound caliber JCFM05, which is proudly displayed on the back of the watch. The combination of Twin Triple Axis Tourbillon, Minute repeater and a Monopusher Chronograph doesn't just give the watch an impressive aesthetic, it also provides an incredible level of precision in multiple facets of time-keeping.
