THE COMPLICATIONS & FEATURES

THE TOURBILLON
The tourbillon's original purpose is to counterbalance the negative effects gravity has on a movement's accuracy. By putting its escapement into a constant spin, it counteracts this natural defect. In the process, it becomes a rotating, fascinating and prestigious creation. A manifestation of expertise and craft, designed for a spectacular type of chronometry.

THE GEM-SET CASE
Epic X Tourbillon Baguette showcases Jacob & Co.'s gem-setting skills. It takes the best hands, the best gems and the best know-how to set its case, crown guards, lugs and bezel. Additionally, the diamond layout on the inside of the dial, on the dial-side bridges. And to do so while using the demanding invisible setting, Jacob & Co.'s most prestigious and favored technique. The precious stones selection and setting process devised by Jacob & Co. is extremely demanding. Drawing from over 30 years of experience in high jewelry, it results in a perfectly smooth, seamless surface of gleaming gems.
