Their older Astronomia Art India model features four 3D hand-painted miniatures of the Taj Mahal, Qutb Minar, India Gate and the Lotus Temple on the aventurine dial of the biaxial tourbillon movement.

Typical Indian style: Epic X India
Like previous models in the Jacob & Co. Epic X collection launched in 2015, this Epic X titanium and rose gold model also uses the transparent skeleton structure on the dial and case back. The two iconic vertical bridges and the outer minute ring made of exotic new stone add some symmetry to the labyrinthine inner workings of the mechanism. Early Epic X models have a Jacob & Co. plaque on the right bridge. However, Epic X India moved the plaque to the left bridge and placed in its place 2D versions of four of India's historical monuments, located in Delhi, Agra and Mumbai, handcrafted from pure titanium.

These four monuments hold an important place in India and the world. From left, Epic X India's lineup starts at India Gate, a war memorial honoring the 84,000 soldiers who died in the war between 1914 and 1921. Next up is the Taj Mahal, an ornate, symmetrical marble marvel built by the Mughal emperors. Shah Jahan built his beloved wife Mumtaz Mahal's final resting place. The third monument is the Gateway of India, a 20th-century arched monument dedicated to King George V, the first British monarch to visit India in 1911. Finally there is Qutb Minar, the tallest brick minaret in the world.

nothing to hide
The 44mm case of the Epic X India Edition is made of titanium and 18-karat rose gold, with anti-reflective sapphire crystal on both sides. Four X-shaped lugs unite the brushed and satin-polished edged bezel with a black rubber strap featuring a hexagonal honeycomb pattern and secure tongue buckle. Together, these properties provide water resistance up to 100m. Despite its variety of textures, shapes, and patterns, this black and gray timepiece exudes old-world charm like a classic black and white film.

The Indian iteration is powered by the in-house JCAM02 movement, which is made from 158 components, beats at 28,800vph and offers a power reserve of up to 48 hours. This hand-wound skeleton movement powers the balance spring and balance, mainspring barrel with "sliding clamp system", 21 purple jewels and balance screws. The barrel is at 12 o'clock and the balance wheel is at 6 o'clock. Design techniques such as vertical graining, de Paris decoration, sandblasting and pearl pattern make the movement look dazzling.
