According to Jacob & Co., allotted time doesn’t fly, it floats
For the first time in Geneva, the master designers at Jacob & Co. have created an ingenious interpretation of a classic regulator complication, subverting some of the rules of the method in the most striking way.
To keep it simple, a "regulator" is a method of timekeeping (starting with clocks and pocket watches) that separates the functions of hours, minutes, and seconds and displays each function on a separate face on a watch dial.
In fact, due to their inherent accuracy, regulator clocks are often used as real-time references by watchmaking shops, even if they do not produce regulator copy luxury watches themselves.
However, transforming this ancient complication into a luxurious floating power work of art is beyond the reach of ordinary watch brands. No, that’s the job of a brand as eclectic and undisputedly technical as Jacob & Co.

Again, to keep it simple, the new Jacob & Co. Astronomia Régulateur is a 43mm 18k rose gold regulator watch. But, given the house's innovative and decorative tendencies, the "simple" part of its description ends here, as there is much more to the story.
Its floating 3D architecture and signature visual appeal—from component finishes to the vibrant blue and its red and gold colorways—are just the beginning of the extras the Astronomia Régulateur brings to the party. replica Tudor Black Bay
The oversized sapphire faceplate is domed along the top (of course) and curves along the sides of the 18mm-thick case, held in place by the gleaming frame of the red gold case (which features a downward-sloping top flange and an open structure lugs). Think of it like a museum case; it allows you to observe the watch itself.
Still, like all Jacob & Co. timepieces, the Astronomia Régulateur demands closer inspection, a look that reveals some impressive horological innovations to match the clever decoration.
Debuting: Maurice Lacroix Pontos S Diver DLC and Bronze

The original Maurice Lacroix Pontos S Diver was obviously a fairly short-lived product, was first launched in 2013 and ceased a few years later in 2016 to allow the brand to increase manufacturing of its Aikon compilation of integrated bracelet watches. Nonetheless to celebrate the collection’s tenth anniversary last year in 2023, Maurice Lacroix relaunched the actual Pontos S Diver as well as gave it a slightly smaller sized profile to improve its day-to-day wearability. Now, as the most recent version for 2024, Maurice Lacroix has expanded its not too long ago relaunched Pontos S Diver collection with two brand-new models that offer the same functionality metrics as their counterparts from the standard catalog, albeit with the aesthetic designed to blend in with contemporary urban environments.
The new Maurice Lacroix Pontos S Diver luxury replica Watches include a special edition stainless steel variation with a black DLC end (reference PT6248-DLB00-330-2) and a constrained edition bronze case (reference PT6248-BRZ01-330-3). While the 2023 relaunched watch is dedicated to life environments, this latest set of two Pontos S Diver versions is the brand's way of spotting that most dive watches are generally primarily experienced in downtown environments. They feature more refined colorways that permit them to blend in with modern life on territory. Despite adhering to a a lesser amount of specialized aesthetic, the new city-oriented bronze and DLC-finished Pontos S Diver watches nonetheless offer the same 300-meter water proof as the rest of the Pontos S Diver collection.
The special edition Maurice Lacroix Pontos S Diver ref. PT6248-DLB00-330-2 features a stainless steel event with black DLC layer, while the case of the confined edition ref. PT6248-BRZ01-330-3 consists of bronze.

Additionally , each models feature a sapphire very above the dial, a solid screw-down caseback, and a pair of screw-down crowns on the right area of the case. The standard crown with 3 o'clock is used for you to interact with the movement, while auxiliary crown at only two o'clock operates the inner twisting chronograph bezel and is featured with a contrasting ring throughout black or yellow to check the color scheme of each watch.
Both completely new urban Maurice Lacroix Pontos S Diver models come with a black grained dial and give the same vintage-themed design and also layout, including baton-shaped arms and indices, a toned minute track and a particular date window at 6 o’clock. An angled chapter diamond ring extends upward from the periphery of the dial to meet the advantage of the inner rotating frame, and both hands and directories are coated with Super-LumiNova to improve visibility in dim environments. However , while the DLC-coated Pontos S Diver characteristics black hands and charge with white Super-LumiNova along with bright yellow accents, the particular bronze version features gold-plated hands and indices using beige Super-LumiNova to give the idea an overall vintage-themed look. replica watches swiss
Like the relaunched series’ standard production types, both new urban-inspired Maurice Lacroix Pontos S Diver models are powered with the brand’s Caliber ML115 auto movement. Given that the Maurice Lacroix Cal. ML115 it's essentially a version of the Swiss brand’s Sellita SW200, it gives the same familiar specs, running at 28, 800vph (4 Hz) and with a power preserve of around 38 time. Additionally , the 22mn lugs on the DLC-finished Pontos S Diver come with a black silicone strap that conforms on the shape of the case at the two ends, while the limited model bronze version comes with a vintage-style brown leather strap embellished with the brand’s logo and an identical bronze buckle. replica Audemars Piguet Royal Oak
This kind of isn’t the first time we’ve viewed Maurice Lacroix create timepieces specifically for the city-dwelling group, with past examples such as 2021 Aikon Urban Group watch and last year’s Aikon Skeleton Urban Group, which was released as a , the burkha to the original model. With that being said, the new city-oriented Maurice Lacroix Pontos S Diver products aren’t considered part of the similar Urban Tribe collection, while they lack the elaborate decoration that characterizes the two restricted edition Aikon Urban Group models. Instead, the new Maurice Lacroix Pontos S Diver watches represent an thank you by the brand that many regarding its timepieces are donned in offices and city environments, and these two most current models aim to offer the famous design of the Pontos S i9000 Diver in colourways in addition to configurations that are targeted at modern-day real-world lifestyles.
While Maurice Lacroix’s Pontos collection offers a wide range of distinct timepieces, the Pontos S Diver is undoubtedly its almost all practical offering, and these brand new urban-style variants help brdge the gap between the overloaded sporty standard production designs and the premium dress wrist watches that are also part of the Pontos collection. replica Jacob and Co. epic x baguette
