Epic SF24 Tourbillon Titanium Black DLC

Epic SF24 Tourbillon

Story

With its groundbreaking city-time display, the Epic SF24 Tourbillon enters a bold new dimension entirely undiscovered by traditional watches. Named after its Split-Flap, 24-city, vertical second time zone display, the Epic SF24 Tourbillon is a jet-set world-traveler's watch that is unique in its complexity and utility. Remarkably challenging to engineer and manufacture, yet easy and intuitive to use: the functionality and design of the Epic SF24 is perfect for those who travel the world in style.

Split-Flap World Time Display

The patented World Time Display of the Epic SF24 Tourbillon comprises a total of 163 components, allowing it to work at a press of a button, on demand, with exceptional feel and reliability. Inspired by traditional split-flap timetable displays seen on airports and train stations, every press of the button on the left side of the Split-Flap extension turns it to the next city name - and, along with it, also advances the Arabic hour display by one. Designed to boldly stand out among traditional 2nd time zone indications so omnipresent in modern watchmaking, the Split-Flap display is a spectacular engineering achievement not only for its complexity, but for its singular ability to bring a smile of appreciation to even the most experienced world travelers.

Epic SF24 Tourbillon Caliber

Epic SF24 Tourbillon Caliber

The Exclusive JCAA03 Caliber powers the Epic SF24 Tourbillon and all its time indications. The time on the main dial is set via the crown located at the 4 o'clock position of the case. Once the hours and minutes have been set, the World Time Display is to be adjusted via the pusher dedicated to this purpose. With this done, the main dial and the second time zone display work together through a fully mechanical connection. As the main dial advances to the following hour, so does the split-flap hour display, making for a highly engineered audible and visible feat - not just when it is adjusted, but also once every hour, throughout its operation. Comprising 528 components, including 163 for the Split-Flap display, the JCAA03 caliber's 48-hour power reserve is replenished by a self-winding rotor mechanism. Finished with high-end Cotes de Geneve, circular perlage graining and anglage decoration techniques, it tastefully combines the values of traditional horology with the achievements only possible in cutting-edge, ultra-modern watchmaking.

Epic SF24 Tourbillon Flying Tourbillon

Flying Tourbillon

The tourbillon was originally invented in order to negate the effects of gravity of mechanical pocket watches for improved timekeeping performance, the Epic SF24 Tourbillon presents this 225-year-old invention in a more spectacular way. The one-minute flying tourbillon of the Epic SF24 Tourbillon features a delicately decorated cage that encapsulates the balance wheel, hairspring, escape wheel and a number of other crucially important components. This openworked cage not only features an elaborate web-pattern in its architecture, but is only secured from underneath, allowing for an unobstructed view at the ultimate refinement of its detailing and operation. It is a constellation of superbly finished components that, when assembled and fine-tuned expertly, allows the JCAA03 to keep accurate time throughout its 48-hour power reserve.

Epic SF24 Tourbillon Case & Crystal

Case & Crystal

The case of Epic SF24 Tourbillon measures 45 millimeters in diameter and 13.65 millimeters thick at its center, and 16.70 millimeters between the top of its World Time Display and the lowest point of its case. Its case is crafted from 18K Black DLC Grade 5 Titanium, with the case sides, pusher and crown in honeycomb pattern rubber. An anti-reflective sapphire crystal covers the main dial, and a specially curved sapphire crystal safeguards the Split-Flap display, allowing for unhindered viewing of its operation and the spectacular mechanisms inside. The case-back also features a sapphire crystal pane, here with a Jacob & Co metallized decor, proudly stating the name of the Epic SF24 Tourbillon's creator.

Epic SF24 Tourbillon Dial & Hands

Dial & Hands

The Epic SF24 Tourbillon comes with city name or honeycomb pattern dial in anthracite opalin, with baton hour markers for the main dial. Above it extends the Split-Flap display for the World Time's city name and its respective hour indication, in high contrast black and white. The skeletonized central hands and the hour indices have luminescent coating for increased legibility under all circumstances.
