The Astronomia is the epitome of 21st century haute horlogerie and a globally recognized symbol of Jacob & Co watchmaking expertise. A world-first both in the boldness of its unprecedented concept and its entirely mechanical construction, the Astronomia has gone beyond impressive horological achievements and has been regarded as an outstanding multidisciplinary engineering achievement. Re-engineered from the ground up, the Astronomia Solar is the most compact in our peerless collection of Astronomia calibers.

Despite its close-packed design, the Astronomia Solar Planets Jewelry displays the precious planets of our Solar System as Jacob-Cut®, 288-facet gemstone spheres, placed on the rotating platform of the Astronomia Solar caliber. Its three main arms carry the differential-driven, self-leveling time display, the magnesium globe in hand-painted blue for a spectacular representation of Planet Earth, the one-minute flying tourbillon regulating organ. Its subsidiary arms carry three Jacob-Cut®, 288-facet stones, along with a center-mounted, 1.5ct Citrine stone to represent our Sun. The Astronomia Solar Planets Jewelry makes for a beautifully artistic, highly refined and fully mechanical recreation of our solar system, to be appreciated like it has never been done before.
