Description

Astronomia Phoenix by Jacob & Co for Artistic Crafts

Hailed as a watchmaking tour de force, the iconic Astronomia has been transformed into a gallery to present piece unique sculptures. Integrated around the four arms of the incredible Astronomia movement is the 18K rose gold Phoenix. The creation of this incredible sculpture is done by one artist over the course of more than seven months and this is a unique piece.

The attention to detail is breath-taking, as the finely-finished wings of the Phoenix encircle the sophisticated double-axis tourbillon movement. The magnesium globe and the 288-facet Jacob-cut diamond turn on themselves in 60 seconds, reflecting the Phoenix as it rises from the base dial.

The Phoenix represents renewal, strength, and rebirth, and the Astronomia Art Phoenix is the perfect gallery for this incredible work of art.
