According to Jacob & Co., allotted time doesn’t fly, it floats
For the first time in Geneva, the master designers at Jacob & Co. have created an ingenious interpretation of a classic regulator complication, subverting some of the rules of the method in the most striking way.
To keep it simple, a "regulator" is a method of timekeeping (starting with clocks and pocket watches) that separates the functions of hours, minutes, and seconds and displays each function on a separate face on a watch dial.
In fact, due to their inherent accuracy, regulator clocks are often used as real-time references by watchmaking shops, even if they do not produce regulator copy luxury watches themselves.
However, transforming this ancient complication into a luxurious floating power work of art is beyond the reach of ordinary watch brands. No, that’s the job of a brand as eclectic and undisputedly technical as Jacob & Co.

Again, to keep it simple, the new Jacob & Co. Astronomia Régulateur is a 43mm 18k rose gold regulator watch. But, given the house's innovative and decorative tendencies, the "simple" part of its description ends here, as there is much more to the story.
Its floating 3D architecture and signature visual appeal—from component finishes to the vibrant blue and its red and gold colorways—are just the beginning of the extras the Astronomia Régulateur brings to the party. replica Tudor Black Bay
The oversized sapphire faceplate is domed along the top (of course) and curves along the sides of the 18mm-thick case, held in place by the gleaming frame of the red gold case (which features a downward-sloping top flange and an open structure lugs). Think of it like a museum case; it allows you to observe the watch itself.
Still, like all Jacob & Co. timepieces, the Astronomia Régulateur demands closer inspection, a look that reveals some impressive horological innovations to match the clever decoration.
Imagine playing FC 24 Coins. having a wide open net, and being denied by an invisible goalie. Such was the fate of reddit user u/ListenLopsided who had the ball go completely across the line only for an invisible force to push it out and back on to the field.
The franchises' latest release, FIFA 24 was released back in October of 2020 and has received generally favorable reviews despite some notable glitches including players jumping in a Mario-like fashion. This title was also accompanied by controversy when EA discovered that at least one employee had been selling FIFA 24 Ultimate Team card packs for incredibly marked up prices ranging from $1.000 to $2.500.
u/ListenLopsided took to Reddit a few days ago to display the apparent bug in the soccer-simulator. In the clip, the ball bounces and rolls closer and closer to the un-guarded goal and, just as it crosses the goal line, it bounces into an invisible wall. The game doesn't record this as a goal, despite the fact that the ball definitely crosses the line. It's unclear if this is a widespread issue but clips like this certainly don't instill confidence in the game.
This is EA's 28th installment in the FIFA series and these titles, as with other major releases, have had their fair share of bugs. In this specific instance, when the opponent's goalie returns to attempt a save his arm hits the goal post. It may be that the game doesn't account for this post properly and extends the goaltender's arm enough to make the save. It remains unclear if this is a coding issue or if it perhaps has something to do with the goalie scripting.
Either way, one non-goal doesn't make or break a game like FIFA 24. As frustrating as it was for u/ListenLopsided this invisible goalie is most likely just a rare and minor issue in a game that has seen pretty good success. No game is without its bugs and if this is the worst one then EA FC 24 Coins for sale should be just fine. Hopefully it either remains a rare issue or is solved completely with a patch.
