Jacob & Co. and the Aztec Worldview
Mexico has become a constant source of inspiration for Jacob & Co. replica luxury watch Historical figures, national symbols, monuments and even the indomitable values of its people have left collectors in our country with a wide range of fine watchmaking watches with local appeal. Now, the Pioneer Aztec Calendar is a new addition, with a Mexican flair that pays homage to the pre-Hispanic people and the mysteries of time measurement.
Since ancient times, humans have longed to explain the meaning of time and establish ways to measure time. This type of endeavour, the Sunstone we inherit from our ancestors, is also known as the Aztec Calendar, although it is more than just a calendar. Because this priceless piece not only measures the passage of time, but also represents time.
In this way, the Aztec civilization used a stone with a diameter of 3.6 meters to commemorate the time of creation and destruction by the gods. Also known as "Piedra del Sol," the 26-ton olivine basalt disk represents the way the Mexicans discovered to explain their cosmology, a perception created from astrological knowledge and their mythology.replica mens watch
mysterious boulder The mystique of this monolith overwhelmed Jacob & Co., who merged fine watchmaking and art with the creation of the Pioneer Aztec Calendar. Sunstone elements can be seen on the dial of the watch equipped with the JCAM22 movement, and there is a flying tourbillon at 6 o'clock. In addition, the details on the dial are also surprising: in the center is the sun god Tonatiuh, a representative of divinity, and his claws are located at 3 o'clock and 9 o'clock.
