Jacob & Co., Bugatti, and Lalique Elevate Horological Art with the Bugatti Calandre Table Clock
When three icons of luxury—Jacob & Co., Bugatti, and Lalique—unite, the result is nothing short of breathtaking. Their latest masterpiece, the Bugatti Calandre table clock, transcends traditional horology, fusing high-end watchmaking, automotive heritage, and artistic crystal craftsmanship into a collector’s dream object.
Following the immense success of the Bugatti Tourbillon wristwatch in 2024, Jacob & Co. continues its artistic collaboration with the legendary French automaker. This time, they've partnered with Lalique, the revered French crystal house, to produce a spectacular limited-edition table clock that celebrates over a century of Bugatti’s design legacy.
Merging Bugatti Heritage with Timeless Design
The Bugatti Calandre is more than a timekeeping instrument; it's a symbolic bridge between past and future. Inspired by the iconic Bugatti Type 41 Royale, the piece features Lalique-sculpted Dancing Elephants, a tribute to Rembrandt Bugatti’s sculptures, which also adorned early Bugatti vehicles. The name "Calandre" itself refers to the French term for a car’s grille, alluding to Bugatti’s legendary horseshoe front grille, a symbol instantly recognizable by any automotive aficionado.
A vertical flying tourbillon beats at the heart of the clock—a nod to Bugatti’s engineering excellence and the cutting-edge Bugatti Tourbillon hypercar. Encased in clear French crystal and topped with a brilliant 30 mm red gemstone, the table clock gleams with Jacob & Co.’s patented Jacob Cut, boasting 288 facets of brilliance.
A Collector's Dream with Automotive DNA
Only 99 units of the Bugatti Calandre will be crafted, priced at a staggering $240,000 USD. It offers not only haute horlogerie but also a sensory experience that mirrors the feeling of owning a Bugatti—precision, power, and opulence in every detail. From the polished steel dial to the 8-day power reserve and hand-wound caliber, this is as close as it gets to automotive luxury in the world of horology.
The clock even comes in a bespoke tan leather trunk, echoing the refined interiors of Bugatti hypercars.
