Some watches are limited to a few hundred pieces. Some, like the Jacob & Co. Twin Turbo Furious Bugatti 300+, are limited to three. That is the register the Jacob & Co. Bugatti watches series operates in, a line of extraordinary timepieces born from the 2019 partnership between the two brands. It includes the engine-baring Bugatti Chiron Tourbillon, its diamond-heavy Chiron Tourbillon Baguette counterpart, the newer V16-inspired Bugatti Tourbillon and the chronograph-led Jean Bugatti. Each watch takes a different element of Bugatti's mechanical and design language and translates it, almost literally, into a wristwatch, complete with elaborate movements, automotive-inspired details and limited production runs. Here is a closer look at the collection, including the price, features, and design of each model.
The watch that proved this wasn't a gimmick. Beneath sapphire crystal sits a miniature W16 engine block; press the right-hand pusher, and sixteen tiny pistons rise and fall around a crankshaft cut from a single steel block. The 578-part JCAM37 movement carries a 30-degree flying tourbillon and roughly 60 hours of power reserve.
Jacob & Co. Bugatti Chiron Tourbillon Price: Rs 4.78 crore approx.
Same 578-part architecture and animated W16, run through a jeweller's workshop. One current white-gold version carries 419 invisibly set baguette-cut diamonds totalling about 22.15 carats, wearable jewellery with an engine inside.
Jacob & Co. Bugatti Chiron Tourbillon Baguette Price: Rs 11.08 crore approx.
Built alongside Bugatti's new Tourbillon hypercar, which swaps the old W16 for a naturally aspirated, 1,800-horsepower V16. The JCAM55 movement runs 557 components, an 80-hour reserve, and retrograde displays, while the case borrows the car's grille, radiator intakes and dashboard.

No hypercar reference needed here. Named for Ettore Bugatti's son, it runs a double-retrograde chronograph, hands that snap back to zero rather than sweep a full circle. Limited to 50 pieces.
Jacob & Co. Jean Bugatti Price: Rs 3.46 crore approx.
The collection's halo piece, built to mark the Chiron Super Sport 300+, the first production car to officially break 300 mph. Twin triple-axis tourbillons, a high-frequency chronograph and a decimal repeater. Just three were made.
Jacob & Co. Twin Turbo Furious Bugatti 300+ Price: Rs 6.14 crore approx.
Where it started. Unveiled alongside the Epic X Chrono at Baselworld in 2019, it folds Bugatti's design cues into the power-reserve display, made across 39 pieces in carbon fibre, rose gold and diamond-set versions.
Jacob & Co. Twin Turbo Furious Bugatti Price: Rs 6.14 crore approx.
The lineup's most restrained piece, built for Bugatti's 110th anniversary. A skeletonised chronograph in forged carbon with French tricolour detailing, and a strap shaped after the Chiron's rear bonnet.
Jacob & Co. Epic X Chrono Bugatti Price: Rs 44.4 lakh approx.
