Releases Limited-Edition Bitcoin Watch CONTRIBUTOR Shawn Amick Bitcoin Magazine PUBLISHED AUG 31, 2022 11:35AM EDT Jacob & Co. put 444 components on two rotating platforms housing many callbacks to the Bitcoin ecosystem for a limited-edition collection of 25 pieces. Jacob & Co., a luxury U.S.-based watchmaker, has released the Astronomia Solar Bitcoin, a luxury watch based on bitcoin, per the company’s announcement. The luxury watch, keeping with the economic principles of scarcity associated with bitcoin, is a limited-edition run of 25 pieces. The clock face rotates on a flying tourbillon which is a 224-year-old mechanism using an open, black, titanium cage which nestles in multiple components paying homage to the Bitcoin ecosystem. The tourbillon rotates in 10-minute intervals. The clock dial resembles the motherboard typically found in application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs), the machines used to mine bitcoin. Additionally, the hands of the clock are plated with 18K rose gold. Furthermore, the watch houses a Bitcoin logo, a yellow sapphire sun, a one-carat diamond-shaped moon, and a golden earth symbolizing hyperbitcoinization. In addition, there is a miniature rocketship painted black pointing towards the moon and the Bitcoin sign. All of these symbols rotate atop the main plate which is designed after a microchip which rotates counterclockwise under a single-piece sapphire crystal window, allowing for a transparent, (or “open-source”) viewing of the components. In total, the Astronomia Solar Bitcoin luxury watch has embedded 444 components atop two rotating platforms for a unique display. “All these symbols tell the story of the advent of the first cryptocurrency, from abstraction to reality, from outlier to a mainstay of the financial system,” reads the company’s announcement. Jacob & Co. joins other luxury watchmaker brands in the Bitcoin ecosystem such as Hublot, Breitling, and Tag Heuer. However, Jacob & Co. is, so far, the only one to make a Bitcoin inspired watch as the other watchmakers have so far made the decision to only accept bitcoin as payment.
that's sexy. it would've been cool if the fan spins under the dials. representing the endless gpus used to mine this shit lol
Tacky as Fduck. That's the kind of watch a black athlete, or rapper, or clown social media influencer/personality, or Arab oil tycoon, or rich Chinese kid, would wear. Similar to driving around in a limited edition, rare, Lamborghini. Purely for ego, insecurity, and vanity, and bragging rights.
I think this watch is useless I used to wear a Casio G-shock Titanium Solar watch and it was extremely useful in my line of work in tough environmental conditions (i.e. ceilings or under raised floors for running and tracing cables). It allowed me to allocate and track time for each work order A cell phone was not good for checking time if you drop it, kiss it goodbye. You need an easy button for lighting up the watch face This watch is not for me, I don't really know how much use anyone can get out of it
Over time, I've notice no one wears watches anymore. Even myself, I just check my iPhone... Which is odd, since I used to enjoy collecting fancy watches once upon a time.
