Bugatti x Jacob & Co. Twin Turbo Furious La Montre Noire Bugatti Unique and shrouded in mystery. The famous Bugatti Type 57 SC Atlantic of the 1930s is hailed by experts as a masterpiece of automotive engineering. Only four of these cars were handcrafted between 1936 and 1938. The fourth, Jean Bugatti’s personal car, mysteriously disappeared around 1938. It remains unclear whether Jean Bugatti sold it to a racing driver friend, or more likely, it was moved to a safer area during the German invasion of Alsace in 1940. To pay homage to this new supercar and the legend of the original model, Jacob & Co. created the one-of-a-kind Bugatti x Jacob & Co. Twin Turbo Furious La Montre Noire Bugatti.
This stunning supercar, named “La Voiture Noire” (meaning “Black Car”), has been a legend since its debut and remains an unsolved mystery. Experts estimate that if this car were discovered, its value would exceed $100 million, making it the most expensive car in the world. To commemorate the Type 57 SC Atlantic, Bugatti created the La Voiture Noire in 2019. This one-of-a-kind Gran Turismo sports car was eventually sold to a Bugatti enthusiast for €11 million (net price).
To pay tribute to this new supercar and the legend of its progenitor, Jacob & Co. has specially launched the unique Twin Turbo Furious Bugatti La Montre Noire watch. The replica watch Popular features an 18K black gold case set with natural black baguette-cut sapphires, presenting a distinctive all-black aesthetic. This timepiece perfectly embodies the essence of two exceptional sports cars, cleverly blending the complications of the Twin Turbo Furious series with the unique history of La Voiture Noire.
The dynamic yet exceptionally comfortable twin-turbocharged Furious Bugatti La Montre Noire lives up to Bugatti’s consistently high standards of performance and quality, while also fulfilling the brand’s renowned promise of versatility.
Unique Gem-Setting
This timepiece features an 18K black gold case set with 344 natural black sapphires, crafted with exquisite, seamless precision. Even the folding clasp, crafted from black gold and black titanium, is adorned with these dazzling gems. Setting black sapphires into an ergonomically designed case is a complex process, but Jacob & Co.’s gem-setting experts are perfectly capable of accomplishing it. These shimmering fragments of the night sky highlight this unique timepiece’s tribute to one of the greatest mysteries in automotive history.
Extremely Complicated
In the world of watchmaking, a movement equipped with a tourbillon is considered among the most prestigious. Jacob & Co.’s Twin Turbo Furious Bugatti La Montre Noire watch is truly unique, incorporating two accelerating triaxial tourbillons into its striking design. These tourbillons effectively compensate for the effects of gravity on the movement’s accuracy.
Even the case of the Twin Turbo Furious Bugatti La Montre Noire watch is extremely complex—comprising 88 parts alone. Its complicated movement consists of 832 individual parts. The perfect assembly of so many parts is breathtaking, and witnessing its operation is even more astonishing.
Decimal minute repeater. The minute repeater is a collector’s dream complication and one of the most difficult for watchmakers to achieve. However, Jacob & Co., in creating the Twin Turbo Furious, strived to push the boundaries of technology. Most minute repeater watches follow the standard hour, quarter-hour, and minute chime sequence, but the Twin Turbo Furious Bugatti La Montre Noire chimes at ten-minute intervals after the hour and before the minute—a decimal chime system extremely rare in haute horlogerie. In fact, only a handful of manufacturers produce decimal chime watches.
Planetary Gear Power Reserve: The power reserve indicator is located at 6 o’clock on the dial. Thanks to a clever planetary gear system (including a differential gear mechanism), the hand points to the left when the power reserve is full and moves to the right as the 48-hour power reserve decreases. The watch is wound via a crank on the crown at 3 o’clock.
Single-Button Chronograph Function with Reference Time: Jacob & Co. has added a unique single-button chronograph function to the Twin Turbo Furious Bugatti La Montre Noire, further demonstrating the brand’s commitment to innovative solutions and creating unprecedented functions. This chronograph is equipped with a “reference time” indicator. Inspired by a racing pit stop sign, this centrally located dial displays the difference in seconds between the current time and the reference time.
The original La Voiture Noire is one of the most breathtaking mysteries in automotive history. The new and unique Twin Turbo Furious Bugatti La Montre Noire watch pays homage to this legendary and enigmatic sports car in the form of a modern complicated timepiece. replica watches perfect
