The Jacob & Co roulette watch, otherwise known as the ‘Astronomia Casino’ roulette watch, is a timepiece that only a handful of customers may ever get their hands on.
Having been around for the last quarter-century, this watch manufacturer made its name by crafting Geneva-style Swiss watches with bold and innovative designs.
A few examples of the most notable timepieces by Jacob & Co include the God Father and Scarface Watches that not only look the part but play the movie’s themes and soundtracks.
The complex design of each model requires special attention and specialized adaptations. Here’s what you can expect from the roulette watch.
Only 88 Astronomia Casino roulette watch pieces were made, making it a limited-edition item. But it isn’t just a timepiece it is also a fully-functional miniature roulette wheel.
