Bugatti Centodieci & Jacob & Co Partnership Watch
28Bugatti has in previous years produced a number of exotic and complicated timepieces in partnership with Parmigiani Fleurier – the relationship between the two firms went almost all the way back to the very beginning of the introduction of the marque, in 2005. That year, the Bugatti Veyron – at the time, arguably the world's most advanced hypercar – was released. Just one year later, in 2006, Parmigiani Fleurier introduced the Type 370, which is a tourbillion, configured as what is sometimes called a "driver's watch" (that is, with the case inclined at an angle to improve visibility when your hands are on the wheel) with a very unusual in-line watch movement; this was followed in more recent years with variations on the basic theme, including the Type 390 (as seen in our Hands On from 2018).
However, this year, Bugatti and Jacob & Co. announced that moving forward, the latter would be the watch partner for the former, and to celebrate the beginning of the partnership, two watches were announced. The first is the Twin Turbo Furious Bugatti Edition. This is a 110-piece limited edition (it is the 110th anniversary of the founding of the original Bugatti firm) in gold, carbon fiber, or diamonds (three diamond-set models will be made) based on the Twin Turbo Furious, which is as much a hyperwatch as the Bugatti Chiron is a hypercar (the Twin Turbo Furious was also the subject of a Hands-On, in 2018). In addition to the Twin Turbo Furious Bugatti Edition, Jacob & Co. is also producing a Bugatti-themed version of its column-wheel controlled, self-winding Epic X Chronograph – this is the Bugatti Chrono Edition Limitée 110 Ans.
