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
replica Maurice Lacroix pontos s diver
The original Maurice Lacroix Pontos S Diver was obviously a fairly short-lived product, first introduced in 2013 and stopped a few years later in 2016 to allow the brand to increase creation of its Aikon number of integrated bracelet watches. But 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 profile to improve its every day wearability. Now, as the more recent version for 2024, Maurice Lacroix has expanded its lately relaunched Pontos S Diver collection with two brand new models that offer the same overall performance metrics as their counterparts within the standard catalog, albeit having an aesthetic designed to blend in with modern day urban environments.
The new Maurice Lacroix Pontos S Diver luxury replica Watches include a special edition stainless steel edition with a black DLC complete (reference PT6248-DLB00-330-2) and a restricted edition bronze case (reference PT6248-BRZ01-330-3). While the 2023 relaunched watch is dedicated to marine environments, this latest set of Pontos S Diver versions is the brand's way of realizing that most dive watches tend to be primarily experienced in metropolitan environments. They feature more refined colorways that allow them blend in with modern life on property. Despite adhering to a much less specialized aesthetic, the new city-oriented bronze and DLC-finished Pontos S Diver watches nevertheless 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 situation with black DLC covering, while the case of the minimal edition ref. PT6248-BRZ01-330-3 is made from bronze. Aside from the different components, the new Maurice Lacroix Pontos S Diver high quality replica watches are identical in size, having a case diameter of forty two mm and a thickness associated with 13 mm. Additionally , each models feature a sapphire amazingly above the dial, a solid screw-down caseback, and a pair of screw-down crowns on the right part of the case. The standard crown in 3 o'clock is used in order to interact with the movement, as the auxiliary crown at two o'clock operates the inner revolving chronograph bezel and is embellished with a contrasting ring within black or yellow to complement the color scheme of each watch.
Both fresh urban Maurice Lacroix Pontos S Diver models have a black grained dial and provide the same vintage-themed design and also layout, including baton-shaped fingers and indices, a slim minute track and a day window at 6 o’clock. An angled chapter engagement ring extends upward from the periphery of the dial to meet the advantage of the inner rotating viser, and both hands and directories are coated with Super-LumiNova to improve visibility in darkish environments. However , while the DLC-coated Pontos S Diver functions black hands and charge with white Super-LumiNova along with bright yellow accents, the particular bronze version features gold-plated hands and indices along with beige Super-LumiNova to give this 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 through the brand’s Caliber ML115 automated movement. Given that the Maurice Lacroix Cal. ML115 is basically a version of the Swiss brand’s Sellita SW200, it stocks the same familiar specs, working at 28, 800vph (4 Hz) and with a power book of around 38 hrs. Additionally , the 22mn lugs on the DLC-finished Pontos S Diver come with a black rubberized strap that conforms towards the shape of the case at the two ends, while the limited version bronze version comes with a vintage-style brown leather strap imprinted with the brand’s logo and an identical bronze buckle. replica Audemars Piguet Royal Oak
This particular isn’t the first time we’ve observed Maurice Lacroix create timepieces specifically for the city-dwelling audience, with past examples such as the 2021 Aikon Urban Group watch and last year’s Aikon Skeleton Urban Group, which was released as a followup to the original model. Therefore, the new city-oriented Maurice Lacroix Pontos S Diver products aren’t considered part of the exact same Urban Tribe collection, because they lack the elaborate decoration that characterizes the two constrained edition Aikon Urban Group models. Instead, the new Maurice Lacroix Pontos S Diver watches represent an verification by the brand that many regarding its timepieces are used in offices and city environments, and these two most recent models aim to offer the well-known design of the Pontos H Diver in colourways in addition to configurations that are targeted at modern real-world lifestyles.
While Maurice Lacroix’s Pontos collection offers a wide range of various timepieces, the Pontos S Diver is undoubtedly its the majority of practical offering, and these brand-new urban-style variants help link 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
