What would be the ultimate gift for a car-lover? How about a watch that matches their car? Of course, that would be fantastic! You need not look any further, because Bugatti and Swiss watchmaker Jacob & Co. have teamed up once again for creating a masterpiece; Bugatti Chiron Tourbillon.
The Bugatti watch features a miniature W16 engine and if that isn’t enough to impress you, it also comes with an incredible 578 inner pieces along with a sapphire crystal, four shock absorbers, and small moving pistons amongst other astonishing trappings. All that you have to spend in order to own this magnificent timepiece is $280,000.
The Bugatti Chiron Tourbillon watch features, as mentioned before, a miniature W16 motor. This motor actually functions and moves while sitting behind an appreciably sized blue sapphire crystal. The motor is suspended by the help of four ‘shock absorbers’. When you push down the right-hand crown, the turbo comes into play and the crankshaft turns over and the mini pistons can be seen pumping up and down. Furthermore, the Bugatti Chiron Tourbillon watch comes with a ‘fuel reserve’ function that will keep a check on the watch’s 60-hour battery life.
Jacob & Co. is the watchmaker behind this marvelous creation and it took them more than a year for creating the 578 inner pieces of the watch. The small engine thrives within a lightweight blackened titanium case that measures in at 54 by 44 millimeters and all of it sits atop a rubber strap that features a titanium buckle. This is not the first time Jacob & Co. and Bugatti have entered into a collaboration. They have previously managed to create Twin Turbo Furious and the Epic X Chrono watches as well.
