Cobalt Fury

An unusual blue titanium case becomes the statement maker in this latest release of Jacob & Co’s Twin Turbo Furious series (limited to 18 pieces, price upon request). Its monster 57mm x 52mm case of blue titanium and 18-carat rose gold frames a dial of Neoralithe – an ultraviolet, thermal and shock-resistant resin. Like the other three series models, this Twin Turbo Furious uses the JCFM05 manualwinding tourbillon movement, made up of 832 components. The complications include two high-speed triple-axis tourbillons, a decimal minute repeater, a monopusher chronograph and a reference time differential function.

The complex movement allows for a 50-hour power reserve.

The series is an ode to highperformance hypercars, so the nostalgic pit board and fuel gauge settings are front and centre on the dial, and you’re able to manually set reference times by using its crank – pulled out to the first position and unfolded – to move the coloured, rotating disc and central digital display to set the reference time. If you start the chronograph using the monopusher, you’ll begin to notice the elapsed differences. This rather vintage method of measuring time gives a nod to classic motorsports, proof that not everything old is outdated.
