The Caviar Flying Tourbillon collection embodies Jacob & Co.'s quest to create masterpieces of incomparable beauty. Jacob & Co. is one of the few companies in the entire industry that has the legitimacy and true expertise to combine high jewelry and high watchmaking.

In the Caviar Flying Tourbillon Collection, Jacob & Co. combines its skills as both watchmaker and jeweler to give birth to luxurious, priceless timepieces.

These veritable works of watchmaking art feature a sophisticated tourbillon movement with a stunning gold case and dial adorned with precious and rare diamonds, sapphires, or rubies in colors inspired by the rich, lustrous translucence of the finest caviar. The precious gemstones are invisibly set after an arduous and lengthy process to source and cut the perfect stones that are comparable in color, clarity, and cut.

Until the creation of the exclusive JCBM05 caliber, no movement could have hoped to keep pace with the intense brilliance of the Caviar's exterior. Matching the intricate gem-setting with the artful complication of a one-minute flying tourbillon, the JCBM05 has bridges specifically designed to accommodate gem setting.

The tourbillon was designed to offset the effect of gravity on a watch movement.The tourbillon used in the Caviar is the flying variety, meaning that it is supported on only one side, which is far more difficult than a traditional tourbillon. The tourbillon has long been considered the king of complications, with its spinning and turning movement. Only the best companies can accomplish this feat of high watchmaking.

The hand-wound caliber, which may be further admired through a sapphire crystal caseback, with its plates adorned with round brilliant diamonds, complements its one-minute flying tourbillon with a balance wheel with gold timing screw, anti-shock system and 100-hour power reserve. Composed of 169 parts, the movement drives a two-hand
dial display at a frequency of 21,600vph.

Jacob & Co. is one of the few brands that has the legitimacy to create high and fine jewelry, as well as highly complex mechanical watches.

The diamond and gemstones industry is a closed society, and it is really a relationship business. Sourcing the very best diamonds and gemstones depends on reputation and personal connections, and Jacob & Co. has solid, decades-long relationships.

As a result, Jacob & Co. has access to the very best sources of diamonds and gemstones from all over the world. Many of the gem-set timepieces, like the Caviar Tourbillon Diamond Bracelet, require meticulous care in the choosing of stones for quality, cut, clarity, and matching color. This can take many months or years, depending on the exact colors needed.

Jacob & Co. is also an expert in the setting of these stones, working with the very
best gem setters in the industry.

The 47mm 18K white gold case of the Caviar Tourbillon Diamond Bracelet, matching the high quality of the stones is incredibly important. It can take up to three years to find the right stones. All the 818 baguette-cut diamonds, 455 pave white diamonds and the 16 baguette and one rose cut blue sapphires in the Caviar Flying Tourbillon Diamond Bracelet are of the highest quality.

The diamonds in this timepiece are invisibly set, side by side, which hides the gold underneath, making the surface smooth and the diamonds appear to be floating on the case. The result is mesmerizing and magical.

The 47mm 18K white gold dial, case, buckle, and lugs are invisibly set with the highest-quality gemstones to achieve the full effect. The flying tourbillon is visible in an aperture at six o'clock, and the diamond-set rear of the manual winding movement is visible through the exhibition case back. For a tough of color the crown is set with blue sapphires.

Covering the top and bottom of the watch is the highest quality anti-reflective sapphire crystal. The exposed caseback allows a view of the diamond-set bridges of the manually wound JCBM05 caliber.

The Jacob & Co. Caviar Flying Tourbillon is a tour de force in both high jewelry and high watchmaking, taking both to an extreme never seen before.
