Luxury Watch by Bugatti, Jacob & Co., and Lalique
Three renowned brands — Bugatti, Jacob & Co., and Lalique — have joined forces to create a unique table clock. This masterpiece costs $240,000 and is released in a limited edition of 99 pieces. The watch, named Calandre, references the Bugatti radiator grille, and its design is inspired by the legendary Type 41 Royale model.
The watch is crafted from molten crystal, poured into a mold by Lalique. The top is adorned with red crystal from Jacob & Co., featuring 288 facets. However, the most fascinating part is the Tourbillon mechanism visible on the dial. It not only showcases the manufacturers’ craftsmanship but also turns timekeeping into a true spectacle.
Details and Collaboration History
This is not the first collaborative project for these brands. They have previously created exclusive watches, including a $340,000 Tourbillon model. The new table clock, despite its high price, appears even more affordable compared to their earlier works.
“This is not just a watch — it’s a work of art that transforms time into a performance”
Such luxury items are designed for collectors seeking something beyond ordinary accessories. They become part of history, a symbol of status and passion for exceptional things. One might assume that in a few years, these watches will become even more valuable, especially if someone decides to sell them as part of a set with other exclusive models.
