On Saturday (Aug. 17), Jacob the Jeweler hopped on his Instagram page and shared a video at the event wearing the timepiece, which costs $340,000. In the clip below, Jacob, who has been Jay’s go-to jeweler for many years, saluted the rap mogul for being the first person to wear the expensive timepiece.

What Is a Bugatti Tourbillon Hyperwatch?

The Bugatti Tourbillon hyperwatch is a one-of-a-kind timepiece created by Jacob the Jeweler in honor of Bugatti’s Tourbillon hyper sports car that cost an estimated $4.1 million.

In an IG post, which can be viewed below, Jacob explained the Bugatti Tourbillon watch resembles the vehicle’s iconic design elements and groundbreaking technology.

“The 52 x 44 mm case, crafted to resemble the car’s body, features the front grille, side radiator inlets, and large sapphire side windows,” Jacob wrote. “Inside, the watch is powered by a V16 engine block automaton made from a single block of transparent sapphire, a nod to Bugatti’s groundbreaking engine architecture. The 30-second flying tourbillon and retrograde hours and minutes, designed to mimic the RPM counter, are feats of engineering that push the boundaries of horology.”

“This isn’t just a watch—it’s a symbol of our commitment to innovation, craftsmanship, and the pursuit of the impossible,” Jacob concluded.

The watch is limited to only 150 pieces.
