The Horological Universe Of the Jacob & Co Astronomia

Some of the most iconic watches have no equal, and this is most certainly the case with the Astronomia by Jacob & Co. It was launched in 2014, but very quickly became one of the signature models of the brand. This is not surprising, as it proves to be the perfect canvas for the brand to let loose their boundless creativity. As a result, many different versions of the Astronomia have been launched in the years since its introduction, and Jacob & Co doesn't show any signs of slowing down.

Four Complicated Ladies Watches That Show Beauty Beyond The Dial

A refined mechanical movement, preferably fitted with an exciting complication; for a long time, this was nearly non-existant within a ladies watch. A quartz-powered smaller version of a men's watch, usually with some diamonds added, was how many of them looked. But fortunately, times change, and these days there are more and more interesting ladies watches with beautiful movements, some even purposely made for them. The following four watches most certainly set the pace in this category.

Everybody Loves Rainbows

Watches that use a spectrum of colored gemstones to create a rainbow effect have become a modest trend in recent years. Most brands use sapphires to create this effect, often in addition with amethysts, tsavorites and other colored gemstones. With sapphires, most people immediately think of the blue colored stones, while they come in nearly the complete color spectrum. Rubies are, just like all the other sapphires, a variety of the mineral corundum as well, only did in the past the red version of these stones got a name of their own. Because they are available in so many different hues, they play an important role to create the perfect rainbow effect.

Mother’s Day 2019: Say ‘I Love You’ With Diamonds

There is a significant change visible in the field of ladies watches; they now tend to be more complicated, in either technical execution or design. The majority of these watches shows a refinement that comes from every single detail. Precious gemstones remain to play an important role to make just that right accent, or as one of the main ingredients for these gracious watches. At Baselworld this trend was also clearly visible, with many delightful creations.
