Alongside its unique creations featuring stunning associations between haute horlogerie and the most exceptional precious stones, the maverick brand from the Big Apple continues to enrich its creative portfolio with more “demure” or in any case more accessible collections. The Palatial line is relatively classic for Jacob & Co and has welcomed half a dozen new models since Baselworld 2015. The Palatial Classic Manual Big Date in pink gold appears with a salmon pink or grey guilloché dial radiating a celestial allure thanks to subdials at 6 and 9 o’clock evoking two planets in front of the sun, whose rays can be seen as symbolized by the hour-markers. The more spectacular and thus by definition more complicated Palatial Flying Tourbillon Minute Repeater with its black mineral glass dial reveals a tourbillon carriage featuring a sophisticated structure composed of gold and titanium components.
