Extraordinary Bugatti Chiron Tourbillon Watch Has A Tiny W16 Engine And A $280000 Price Tag

Expert watchmaker Jacob & Co has just unveiled what is perhaps one of its most impressive tourbillon timepieces we've ever seen, inspired by the Bugatti Chiron Fittingly dubbed the Bugatti Chiron Tourbillon, the timepiece took roughly a year to develop and features a small version of the French hypercar's W16 engine block crafted from sapphire crystal This extraordinarily detailed tiny engine block features 16 miniature pistons that move up and down thanks to a replica crankshaft.

Jacob & Co is so proud of this crankshaft that it describes it as "One of the smallest and most complicated watch parts ever manufactured." What's more, the Bugatti Chiron Tourbillon's movement and baseplate are suspended by a set of four springs designed to mimic the suspension of a car Sapphire crystal offers an unimpeded view into the complication and the case even includes a tiny Bugatti horseshoe grille You don't have to own a Bugatti Chiron to secure one but we suspect it will help.
