droptopman Posted April 29, 2015 Report Share Posted April 29, 2015 I had never seen this brand before. Check out the complications on this. http://www.jacobandco.com/timepieces/astronomia-tourbillon-baguette Over $1 million for the astronomia. Look around the website. Some really impressive craftsmanship. Way out of my league and not really my thing, but certainly can appreciate the work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

508-Fanatic Posted April 30, 2015 Report Share Posted April 30, 2015 Looks like ol' Jacob the Jeweler hired a real watchmaker. His crap has been a joke in the watch industry for over a decade, found on the wrist of rappers and such, all bling'd out with terrible movements. Ice-T had one, he said on Cribs awhile back that the thing actually just stopped telling time, but he still liked wearing it "cuz it shiiiiines." So silly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
