Bitcoin-designed luxury watch can be yours for $400,000
The Astronomia Solar is the first luxury watch of its kind by expert watchmakers, Jacob & Co. It boasts cutting-edge engineering and is designed with cryptocurrencies in mind.
Astronomia represents the pinnacle of watchmaking at Jacob & Co in the 21st century.
If you’re over the moon with Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, the Astronomia Solar is intricately designed with the details intertwined with Bitcoin features that you can get for $400,000.
The concept of scarcity Astronomy
Astronomia is a unique and ground-breaking watch concept that only has 25 pieces available. The Law of Scarcity is imminently similar to the scarce nature of Bitcoin.
As a limited edition timepiece, the Astronomia symbolizes the early beginnings of Bitcoin and how it evolved from being a theory to becoming a central building block of today’s financial system.
Such a concept also contributes to its general appeal to investors and traders who have the means to shell out a silly amount of dough to satisfy their needs.

Notably, the 444 components and two rotating pins of the Astronomia are eye-catching. The first platform consists of the microchip main plate that resembles the brain of Satoshi Nakamoto, and the second is composed of the arms as well as other intricate moving parts.
The clock is able to complete a rotation in 10 minutes which is actually the time you need to clock in when waiting for Bitcoin price changes. The dial looks similar to the motherboard fan found in ASICs that mine BTC.
A clockwork that fights cryptocurrencies
The hands of this black Astronomia Bitcoin watch are made of 18K rose gold.
This luxury watch is very visually appealing with its elegant and transparent sapphire crystal window, sophisticated black titanium case and alligator leather.
You can’t help but gasp at the rotating Bitcoin sign that is a tribute to cryptocurrencies, specifically the Bitcoin universe that started it all.
“All these symbols tell the story of the emergence of the first cryptocurrency, from abstraction to reality, from outlier to a pillar of the financial system,” the company said.
Astronomia’s casing is 21 millimeters thick and 44 millimeters in diameter. The luxurious watch also boasts full lugs that are designed with a vertical angle that provides a comfortable and practical fit on the wrist.
More so, the Bitcoin-inspired luxury wristwatch also features a one-carat diamond moon, golden earth and black rocket ship. Imagine how much engineering and science went into this thing.
Other luxury watchmakers that have dipped their toes into the crypto space are Tag Heuer, Breitling and Hublot, but Jacob & Co. is the only Bitcoin inspired luxury watch. Other luxury watchmakers agree to only accept BTC payments – and not create a stunning timepiece that sometimes defies… logic?
