Twelve years after its first introduction, the Palatial Flying Tourbillon Minute Repeater returns in a new edition.
Created as Jacob & Co.’s first minute repeater in 2014, the timepiece marked the beginning of the Maison’s long exploration of mechanical sound. Now, as Jacob & Co. celebrates its 40th anniversary, the Palatial enters a new chapter with the new Caliber JCCM04.
The 43 mm 18K rose gold case frames a red mineral dial, while a redesigned flying tourbillon appears at 6 o’clock. Inside, the hand-wound movement brings together a 60-second flying tourbillon and a minute repeater, two of watchmaking’s most demanding complications.
Limited to 12 pieces, one for each year since the original model was introduced.

@baldassarreted I've been seeing Nodus come up more lately. The enthusiast-first approach is definitely interesting, especially at the sub-$1,000 level.
The more watches I see, the more I appreciate proportions.
40mm vs 42mm doesn't sound like a huge difference on paper.
On the wrist, it can completely change how a watch feels.
Sometimes the difference between “I like this” and “I love this” is just a few millimetres.
News:Fears just entered serious complications.
The Brunswick 39 Perpetual Calendar is the British brand's first perpetual calendar, combining the familiar cushion-shaped Brunswick case with a full calendar and moon phase.
What's impressive is how restrained it looks.
39mm wide and just 10.1mm thick including the crystal, it doesn't look like Fears simply added a complication to an existing watch.
It feels properly integrated into the design.
@kcmilan 😂 That seems to be the question everyone is asking. The watch is beautiful, but £26,950 definitely puts it in a very interesting part of the market.
Where the ocean meets ice, something special is coming on Thursday 8th October 2pm BST.

News:Seiko actually made the panda watch.
A concept from Seiko's 2024 Power Design Project has now become a real production watch.
The new Power Design Project Panda Chronograph takes the idea pretty literally panda face, ears and all while using a 43mm stainless-steel case and a quartz chronograph movement.
Only 5,000 pieces will be made.
Honestly, I like seeing Seiko do things like this.
Not every watch needs to take itself seriously.
What does “70-hour power reserve” actually mean?
It simply means that, when fully wound, the movement can theoretically keep running for around 70 hours without being wound again.
So if you take the watch off Friday evening, a 70-hour movement could still be running Monday morning.
It's one of those specifications that sounds complicated but is actually pretty simple.
News:NORQAIN is putting titanium into the Wild ONE.
The brand has introduced new Wild ONE models using a Grade 5 titanium top plate for the first time.
There are skeleton versions in 39mm and 42mm, plus a 42mm meteorite version.
I think titanium makes a lot of sense for the Wild ONE. The whole collection has always been about being lightweight, technical and built for impact.
GUIDE:New York is about to become one of the biggest places in watches.
New York Watch Week is coming up, with WatchTime New York, Windup Watch Fair, the FHH New York Watch Summit and Indies.
NYC all happening around the same period.
WatchTime alone is bringing 48 brands to Gotham Hall.
October is looking busy for watch collectors. 😂
@tdogswatches I actually don't mind California dials. 😂 They’re definitely unconventional, but I think that’s part of the appeal. They give a watch a bit more personality.
