Following last week’s dramatic reveal of the new limited edition Bugatti Tourbillon hypercar, Swiss watchmaker Jacob & Co. and Bugatti collaborated to create a wristwatch that represents the same pursuit of perfection embodied in the automobile. The Bugatti Tourbillon watch is a limited edition of just 150.

Why the Bugatti Tourbillon watch matters

The Bugatti Tourbillon timepiece is not the first collaboration between the two companies. Jacob & Co. and Bugatti also collaborated to create the Bugatti Chiron Tourbillon, which celebrated Bugatti’s automotive creation with a watch created with the same high standards of design and engineering.

Bugatti followed the principles of its founder, Ettore Bugatti, in creating the Tourbillon hypercar and collaborating with Geneva-based Jacob & Co. on the Bugatti Tourbillon timepiece. Bugatti insisted on perfection in design, engineering, and function, stating that nothing was too beautiful or too expensive in the perfection’s pursuit.

The 52 x 44 mm Bugatti Tourbillon watch case shares design elements from the car’s front grille, side radiator inlets, and sapphire side windows.

The watch has an automaton representing the Tourbillon car’s V16 engine, sculpted from a single block of transparent sapphire. The engine includes a 30-second flying tourbillon and a twin power reserve. A display that mimics the car’s RPM counter shows the time in hours and minutes.

Just as Bugatti was inspired by watchmaking when creating the precision automotive instrument, Jacob & Co. included details in the Bugatti Tourbillon timepiece, emphasizing its exclusivity and complexity.

The Bugatti Tourbillon is available in a limited edition of 150 for $340,000.

This Perrelet watch will make you smile
Perrelet x Seconde

Perrelet teamed up with a talented artist—Romaric André, better known as Seconde/Seconde/—on a stylish new watch. The artist is quite popular for his irreverent style, which transcends the conventional ways of doing things. That's apparent in the design of this new watch, which is a limited edition version of the iconic Perrelet Turbine.

Think of it as a contemporary timepiece that merges three worlds into one—horology, art, and industrial culture. One of the most striking details is the yellow sign at the center of the dial. It’s complemented by a unique message—keep hands clear.

Zenith x Revolution Chronomaster Revival A3818

In the past five years, Zenith and Revolution have been rolling out reimagined versions of the A3818 as part of the Chronomaster Revival A3818 collaboration series. While the first model in the collection, released in 2020, was manufactured from steel, the second one, released in 2022, had a high-quality titanium casing.

Well, the latest addition goes all the way out with a carbon casing. It’s characterized by a black appearance and a lighter weight, making it stand out from the two models launched in previous years. The steel model weighed 110.6g and the titanium model weighed 78.3g, but the new model only weighs 60g. The dial also has a black color that blends smoothly with the casing.
