Introducing Crypto Bros, it's for you - the Bitcoin watch from Jacob & Co.
The sun may be setting on cryptocurrencies, but Astronomia Solar Bitcoin is just getting close to the horizon.
Geneva Watch Days will take place in the Swiss capital of culture from Monday 29 August to Thursday 1 September 2022, covering Bulgari, MB&F, Oris, Urwerk and more.
Until now, Jacob & Co. had so many astronomers that it was unclear whether more of them would fit into the universe they honored. There's Astro Sky, Astro Art, Astro Tourbillon, Astro Casino, Astro Tourbillon Casino Baguette... you get the idea. These are large watches with plenty of luxury and technology vying for space under their high-dome crystals. Few collectors like a flying tourbillon with a 288-face orange citrine or something, and few who can afford it.
For the extended family, the Astronomical Solar Bitcoin comes on the heels of Geneva Watch Day, a celestial body in our solar system that shares space with Earth's most recent addition to life: an oversized rotating Bitcoin symbol.
The watch has a base plate shaped like a microchip, because Bitcoin's mom and dad are both computers, and it has "peer-to-peer" and "blockchain" and "decentralized digital currency" carved around its movement, which are "drives" ". Beware, I" Crypto Generation.
The case is 44mm, made of titanium and blackened with DLC. The strap is black alligator leather.
"This is the dawn of the Bitcoin era," the watch's announcement asserts. It seems to me that we are witnessing a sunset rather than a dawn - though, to be fair, encryption must have been the next big thing when Jacob & Co. came up with the concept.
You must own a set of ₿ rass ₿ alls to wear this watch. For those who love bling and horological complications, there is no doubt that astronomy is a holy grail (or beyond), but astronomy solar bitcoin seems to be six months late. Then again, there are only 25 of them, so the question is: Are there 25 serious scammers with portfolios diversified enough to afford one? Probably so. And, under the influence of some kind of drug we haven't heard of, there's zero chance that anyone who buys this watch won't be addicted to it right now at Burning Man.
