The Jacob & Co. Oil Pump Craftsmanship

It takes an entire construction crew. The Oil Pump contains a high watchmaking movement with double-axis flying tourbillon and an automaton. On top of these functional elements, decorative items have to be laid out, like pipes, barrels and a whole lot of audacity.

So much skill, so much talent, so much science, invested to create an UGLY watch that costs millions. The secret of beauty, and this is something the overgold owner of Jacob doesn't even suspects, is simplicity.

That’s subjective, so is beauty

[@daintiestquarters3411]

@@Image00o I agree with you. And I really like complex watches, like those created by De Bethune, eventhough I'll never be able to buy one. I don't see anything in Jacob's gigantic watches though; to me they are toylike, very far from any sense of taste really.

yes it is...its called a "3d turbillion" or "rotational turbillion", it makes a watch about 5 to 10 times more acurrate during movement

[@dr.doppeldecker3832]

​@@lunam7249 the tourbillion today is purely added for asthetic reasons. It comes from the time of pocket watches, since they always are in the same position a tourbillion benefits accuracy. A tourbillion on a wristwatch does nothing beneficial but looking good;)

[@wasteddude9387]

I will never understand why some people are offended by the quest for the inevitable evolution of the timepiece while those very detractors carry expensive customized cell phones which are also radios, televisions, closed circuit cameras, calculators, alarm clocks, computers, internet browsers, photo albums, record players, walkie talkies, world maps, navigators, calendars, and more... all contained in a "Star Trek communicator". Yet those reserved, dignified, sedate and stodgy critics mock any attempt to breathe life into a sterile traditional mono-purposed dial strapped to their wrist. My fascination with timepiece pioneers is unmoved by such malcontents with dull-witted back slapping tirades against the kind of adventurous experimentation which enable them to elegantly butt-dial each other.

I'm allways wondering why you dont use wooden Screwdrivers in order not to scratch the screws by accident.

[@wasteddude9387]

Interesting concern, although slightly on the extreme. The general thought may be provoking, but wood is not resilient enough. I can not think of any combination of materials adequate to handle torque issues.

[@TheDarkElk]

@@wasteddude9387 perhaps a good plastic would work, I feel most screws dont need to be that tight so it would probably be fine

[@wasteddude9387]

@The Dark Elk That's worth consideration. You gotta assume the need to perform maintenance on a J&Co will be negligible. So if the screwdrivers were reserved for that purpose only, plastic might indeed last as long as needed. Now if I can just stop talking like this........
