BRILLIANT SKELETON BAGUETTE

Blue Sapphires

In 2017, Jacob & Co. created a new ladies' collection that looked like no other. Round, without lugs, with a strap directly attached to the case, Brilliant was designed to be versatile, precious and to embrace the entire range of gems Jacob & Co. loves. Brilliant Skeleton Baguette is the most graphic expression of its high jewelry, high watchmaking spirit. Creating a skeleton movement is first and foremost a design process. The advanced capabilities of Jacob & Co.'s watchmaking teams can give the openworked caliber almost any shape and form desired. The one Jacob & Co. retained for Brilliant Skeleton Baguette is highly skeletonized, elegant, symmetrical and graceful. Brilliant Skeleton Baguette is covered in gems. Jacob & Co. exclusively selected the baguette cut. In order to recreate the smoothest surface, Jacob & Co. only works with the invisible setting technique. No prongs, no metal appears that would break the continuous array of gems. White diamonds. Rubies. Blue, yellow, pink or orange sapphires. Tsavorites. Brilliant Skeleton Baguette is Jacob & Co.'s ultimate expression of femininity.

The rounded case of Brilliant Skeleton Baguette is a three-dimensional creation. Shaped like a pebble, it possesses a great ergonomy and offers the best canvas for the kind of creativity Jacob & Co. is famous for. The rounded edges of the case provide Brilliant with its namesake property : brilliance. When its metal stands alone, thorough polishing gives it light and life. When our gem-setters get a hold of it, it becomes a large field of expression of their expertise. Achieving such an impeccable result requires an extensive development process. It starts at the selection of gems, goes on with their cutting, and ends in the setting itself. At each one of those steps, Jacob & Co.'s expertise is mobilized at its finest. For Jacob & Co., work is at its best when the work doesn't show.

Caliber JCAM01 was specifically developed for Brilliant Skeleton Baguette. It offers maximum transparency thanks to its skeletonized form. All the components that should be full are hollowed out. The structure becomes the shape and a means of aesthetic expression.

THE SKELETON MOVEMENT

Caliber JCAM01 uses shapes and finishings to express the feminity in Brilliant Skeleton Baguette. Curves, elegant lines, symmetrical design, even the Jacob & Co. logo has become a part of the watchmaking expression. Gears and hands stand out in contrast to the metallic tones of the movement's parts.
