The time display always stays in the correct 12/6 position thanks to an ingenious, and patented, differential system.⠀
Powering this timepiece is Jacob & Co ’s signature triple-axis tourbillon movement, wound by the 18K rose gold violin-shaped crank on the side of the watch. Comprised of 658 individual parts, the movement of this luxurious timepiece is ultra-complex, with a tourbillon that turns in 24 seconds on one axis, eight seconds on the second axis, and 72 seconds on the third. ⠀

The power reserve for the movement and the music box function are separate – the watch has a power reserve of 48 hours, while the music can be played two-three times before you have to rewind it.
