Unveiling Jacob & Co: The Bugatti Chiron Tourbillon

Powering the Epic X is the remarkably airy, openworked Caliber JCAM45 developed by Concepto. The movement was thoughtfully constructed from the ground up as an openworked movement. It features a skeletonized barrel held in place by a separate bridge, allowing the state of wind to be approximated from the coils of the mainspring.

Like most openworked watches, the barrel and balance are vertically aligned. However, to provide an unobstructed view of the balance wheel below, the gear train does not traverse the central axis of the movement. Instead, it is relegated to the left, with a pinion above the second wheel of the movement driving the minute wheel in the motion works directly. This opens up the dial and provides a full view of the escapement and balance wheel. At the same time, the motion works, which are left completely exposed, are bookended by a pair of vertical bridges that have been decorated with Clou de Paris guilloché.

One notable detail on the reverse is an Octopus-shaped spring with three elegantly curved blades. It functions as a detent spring for the setting lever and clutch lever in the keyless works as well as a click spring that tensions the winding click.

The smooth and uniform polished finish helps accentuate the lines of the watch and create a flashier visual presence, re-orientating the watch within the brand’s maximalist watchmaking language, as spearheaded by its top-of-the-line watches.
