Spotted on iconic Canadian rapper Drake, the new Jacob & Co. watch does much more than just tell the time — it also features a fully functional roulette wheel. Named the Astronomia Casino, this unique and unprecedented timepiece boasts a four-arm setup.
The first arm is dedicated to a ceramic ball, the second contains the double-axis tourbillion, the third is accommodates the Roman numeral time display, while the "fourth sits on top with 1ct 288-facet Jacob-cut diamond, which, according to the brand’s Instagram caption, turns on itself in 30 seconds." The intricate rotation spans 10 minutes and allows the wearer to participate in a roulette game on the go.
