Jacob & Co. Astronomia Regulator Elements – Air Gold-Grey AR200.40.AB.AC.ABALA
An extremely rare masterpiece: only three pieces exist worldwide, their color harmony designed collaboratively by us.
The Jacob & Co. Astronomia Regulator Elements – Air watch showcases the brand's unique understanding of this theme through its exquisite interpretation of the five elements. This timepiece perfectly embodies the essence of "wind": lightness, clarity, and elegance.
At Chronopassion, we were fortunate to participate in the selection of this deliberately understated color scheme, a rarity in the vibrant world of Astronomia. This restrained composure reinforces the purity of the "air" theme, giving this piece a unique and elegant character.
Wind: The element representing thought, creativity, and intuition
In ancient philosophy, air symbolizes wisdom, reflection, and freedom of thought. Jacob & Co. incorporates this symbolism into the design, with shades of grey and silver expressing rich imagination, exquisite craftsmanship, and a pursuit of fresh perspectives.
In stark contrast to the flamboyant contrasts with other elements, the Astronomia Regulator Elements – Air stands out with its deliberately cultivated tranquility and almost meditative aesthetic. This restraint is not accidental: it is at the heart of our initial concept, aiming for clear legibility, balanced harmony, and visual coherence.
Exceptional Watchmaking Structure
The Astronomia Regulator Elements – Air is powered by the in-house JCAM56 movement, a highly precise manual-winding movement comprising:
a regulator display (showing hours and minutes separately),
a separate seconds subdial,
a constant force system,
a flying tourbillon that rotates once per minute,
and a rotating central structure that rotates once per minute.
This timepiece is housed in a stunning 43mm 750/1000 rose gold case with an integrated sapphire crystal that reveals the workings of the suspended movement. The domed sapphire crystal glass, treated with double anti-reflective coating, further enhances the watch's clarity and lightness, a true tribute to the elements embodied in the timepiece.
The hallmark of Chronopassion: Simplicity is power
Of the five elements—earth, fire, water, spirit, and air—the air element version is undoubtedly the most conceptual and modern.
We collaborated with Jacob & Co. to create a minimalist color scheme, avoiding any overly ornate decorations, allowing the exquisite craftsmanship to speak for itself. This aesthetic choice is unique within the Astronomia collection, making these three pieces even more distinctive and coveted.
An absolute collector's item: Only 3 pieces available, absolutely unique.
In the contemporary world of haute horlogerie, limited editions are already extremely rare, but the Astronomia Regulator Elements – Air achieves an almost unbelievable level of exclusivity: only three pieces exist worldwide.
This absolute rarity, coupled with direct involvement in the color design, makes this Chronopassion piece one of the most enigmatic and sought-after items in the Astronomia collection.
Astronomia Regulator Elements – Air: The Essence of Minimalism in a World of Overconsumption.
