The headquarters and seat of Greubel Forsey in La Chaux-de-Fonds is one of the most fascinating buildings in the entire Swiss watch industry. The centerpiece of the facility is a 17th-century farmhouse, purchased in 2007 by company founders Robert Greubel and Stephen Forsey. Throughout the late 2000s and early 2010s, the duo worked gradually to expand the building into its current form, which features a tall modernist glass-walled studio swelling from the side of the once quaint log home.

Jacob & Co. Oil Pump Tourbillon Automatic Figure Trust Jacob & Co. to produce a six-digit gold replica watches for sale depicting an oil pump. Complete with two derricks, a plumbing system, an oil level gauge and storage tanks, this miniature oil rig is detailed enough to win over die-hard oil tycoons. Additionally, as a Jacob & Co. creation, the two derricks perform the pumping action as needed, thus ensuring showmanship. Even without the boom activated, the animation on the dial continues thanks to the spectacle of the brand's signature biaxial tourbillon. Let's take a closer look at this Jacob & Co. Oil Pump Tourbillon Automatic Figure. Those familiar with the label know that Jacob & Co.'s maverick founder, Jacob Arabo, isn't exactly an advocate of understated luxury. Used to dealing with ultra-wealthy clients (including oil tycoons), his jewelry and watches had an inimitable "wow factor". Top notch for some, downright delightful for others, Jacob & Co's work never fails to impress. Let's take a closer look at one of the most unusual watches in the brand's collection, which has the added bonus of pumping oil and a 100% eco-friendly mechanical power source. automaton action Derrick pumps, also known in petroleum language terms as jacks, horseheads, and rocking horses, are used to mechanically extract oil from underground wells. Derrick pumps were once a common sight in West Texas, distinguished by their massive anvil-shaped pump heads. Powered by an electric motor (running on oil, diesel or electricity), the pump head is attached to a polished rod that moves up and down the well to force the fluid to the surface.luxury replica watches The watch may replicate the mechanism and action of an oil pump, but its power is green. Just as Pierre Jaquet Droz's revolutionary automatons in the 18th century wowed kings and queens with their inexplicably magical movements, so the booms on the oil pumps are powered by the automata's traditional mechanics— — An automatically operated machine that executes a predetermined sequence of motions. A pusher on the case strap at 2 o'clock not only activates the derricks on the dial, it also charges the dedicated power reserve and keeps them going – you can see it in the video at the top of this article. The largest of the two derricks in the oil pump foreground has a long rod attached to its head pumping oil up and down in the gold tank below, while a counterweight at the other end of the beam rotates counterclockwise at 9 o'clock and Minute dial. The smaller derrick in the background performs a similar motion, although its counterweight moves in a clockwise direction.replica Jacob & Co astronomia tourbillon terrain This realistic miniature replica of an oil rig is housed in a 49.5mm rose gold and sapphire crystal case measuring 20mm high. To ensure that no movement is hidden, there are additional sapphire glass windows on the sides of the case and a small hole in the case back to admire the tourbillon. The rose gold caseback has two pull-out bows for winding the watch and setting the time, and a pusher on the side of the case for starting the automatic and charging the power reserve. In this microscopic rendition of an oil rig, every element is interconnected, be it the tiny tubing, oil rods, or even the gears. replica watches price.The background of the dial is a gray mesh grille with an inflated honeycomb pattern, allowing an unobstructed view of the mechanism. Hours and minutes on an anthracite ring at 9 o'clock with golden Arabic numerals. If you look closely, you can see how two gold tubes with silver joints and red wheels that control the flow wind their way behind the hour and minute dials before disappearing into the movement. Representing the dividing line between land and subterranean structures, a central platform on the dial supports a derrick and an oil pressure gauge that doubles as a power reserve indicator. A polished rod attached to the head of the derrick runs across the platform and through a rose gold reservoir shaped like a barrel that bears the brand name and a red warning sign alerting to the presence of flammable materials. The large aperture at 6 o'clock, extending all the way to the caseback, is Jacob & Co's stage. The iconic biaxial tourbillon. To double the viewing pleasure, the first tourbillon completes a lap in 60 seconds, the second in 2.5 minutes. All the details, such as the bright polished rose gold pipes and oil tanks, or the brushed gold and beveled edges of the derricks, testify to the impressive level of craftsmanship of Jacob & Co. craftsmen. mechanical motor Powering the movement on the dial is the hand-wound caliber JCAM33. The movement has 510 components, beats at 21,600vph, and can store up to 60 hours of power reserve. While parts of it can be glimpsed through the grille on the dial, most of the movement is concealed behind a rose gold caseback with two extractable bows for winding and setting the time. Of course, the finishing of the shot-peened and black PVD-coated bridges and bridges, the circular graining on the barrel and the hand-beveled mirror-polished edges is of the highest order.replica mens watch thoughts As with other Jacob & Co. watches, reactions are always extreme, and not everyone is going to appreciate the extravagance or horological fireworks on board. But that's the point: These watches aren't for everyone. They're expensive, extravagant, fun marvels designed to impress. I was really impressed with the way Jacob & Co. breathed life into a potentially mundane subject like an oil rig. Extraordinary detail, miniaturization and above all animation effects are sure to impress. While it's not a model I'd choose for myself - the Astronomia Tourbillon Typhoon has my name on it - I know plenty of people will succumb to the sheer spectacle and beautifully rendered scenery of the Oil Pump.replica Ulysse Nardin Perpetual Calendars
