I believe that no man can resist the attraction of luxury cars and watches.
What's more, today we are going to take a look at this ultra-luxury watch with a Bugatti engine.
Starting at $2.6 million, Bugatti Kay Long Xing is the favorite of men all over the world, and the watch based on this HyperCar is equally attractive and valuable. A few days ago, Bugatti and American ultra-luxury watch and jewelry brand Jacob? & amp？ Co.) launched a joint series of Kay Long Xing tourbillon watches, which cost as much as $280,000. As long as the button is pressed, there will be 16 tiny pistons swinging up and down in the cylinder of the complex crankshaft. These pistons are milled by a single piece of steel with very precise tolerance, so it takes three days to program the CNC machine tool that produces them.
The movement of the engine drives two turbochargers on the shell side, which are similar to the turbochargers on the cylinder block of Kai Long Xing automobile engines (except four Kai Long Xing engines), but this is also very strict.
A watch has two clockwork boxes, one for driving the automaton and the other for driving the movement. The engine animation lasts for 20 seconds, can be activated three times, and then needs to be rewound. The centers of the three crowns located at the 6 o'clock position at the end of the case are wound around the movement clockwise and counterclockwise respectively.
The crown on the right is the button to start the automaton, and the crown on the left sets the time. The movement has a 60-hour power reserve, which is displayed at the 3 o'clock position by the universal fuel tank icon between the "empty" and "full" marks.
In another self-luminous device, the movement and the bottom plate are suspended from the watch case through four visible pillars similar to the vibration of a car. On this model, they are painted blue, but the color can be customized.
Because the tubular rod is not rigid, the "chassis" or base plate can move slightly without breaking. Jacob & Co has created (and applied for a patent for) a special transverse system for automobiles, which has components similar to hinges to prevent the ejector pin from being damaged due to the movement of the bottom plate.
This watch case is very big: its dimensions are 44 mm wide, 54 mm long and 20 mm thick. Like several other Jacob & Co watches, the side is made of sapphire crystal, which creates a window for mechanical equipment.
The rest of the case is black titanium alloy (roughly the color of the car engine block). You can customize watches in different colors to match your Bugatti car or set gems.
Bian Xiao commented:
This watch was inspired by the 16 cylinder engine on the Bugattica Long Xing sports car. It took Jack Bao's team a whole year to present the sports car engine representing energy, movement and speed perfectly on the wrist watch for the first time. This design of Jack Bao brand is the first in the world watch industry, and it has realized a real watch engine.
