A universal sign of hope, rainbows have been a theme in jewelry for many years. Jacob & Co. introduces a rainbow version of its ground-breaking Fleurs de Jardin Rainbow, with a special, full baguette-cut diamond back dial. Designed to recreate a beautiful garden of multi-colored flowers on your wrist, framed by several sparkling rainbows, this timepiece is powered by a delicate butterfly tourbillon movement. It definitely is no garden variety timepiece.

The tourbillon, time display and upper level multicolored sapphire flowers all turn around the dial clockwise, while the mother-of-pearl base set with rainbow sapphire flowers turns counter-clockwise. The 18K white gold case features a bezel and inner ring set with rainbow sapphires. Sitting atop the movement is a 288-facet Jacob-cut tsavorite surrounded by rainbow-colored sapphire petals.

Underlying all this beauty is the timepiece workmanship for which Jacob & Co. is famous. In this case, it materialzes as a version of the vertical Astronomia flying tourbillon movement, which makes a full clockwise revolution in 10 minutes around the central axis. It also features a patented differential gears system that allows the time display to constantly maintain the 12/6 o'clock position.

According to legend, treasure is found at the end of the rainbow, but with the new Fleurs de Jardin Rainbow from Jacob & Co., you need look no further than your wrist.

Fleurs de Jardin Rainbow is comprised of elements above and on the base dial which turn both clockwise and counterclockwise. Above the dial is the flying tourbillon, the time display and a frame holding three gemstone flowers, which turn clockwise in ten minutes. An additional gemstone flower turns counterclockwise while going around the dial in ten minutes as well. The time display uses a patented differential gears system that allows the time display to constantly maintain the 12/6 o'clock position.

On the base dial, the middle section is made of mother-of-pearl carrying 5 rainbow sapphire flowers, and surrounded by two rings of more rainbow sapphires, one on the inside and another on the outside. It turns counter-clockwise in ten minutes, while the inner gem-set ring turns clockwise in ten minutes. This constant motion is mesmerizing and ensures that your watch will never look the same throughout the day.

Jacob & Co. is one of the few brands that has the skill and design acumen to create high and fine jewelry, as well as high-end watches. Sourcing the very best diamonds and sapphires depends on reputation and personal connections, and thankfully Jacob & Co. has solid, decades-long relationships. As a result, Jacob & Co. has access to the very best sources of diamonds and colored sapphires from all over the world. Fleurs de Jardin Rainbow requires meticulous care in the choosing of stones for quality, cut, clarity and matching color. This process takes many months, 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. Jacob & Co. has even pioneered its own proprietary cut, the 288-facet Jacob-cut. Fleurs de Jardin Rainbow features a Jacob-cut tsavorite in the very center of the timepiece, surrounded by kite-shaped rainbow sapphires.

Fleurs de Jardin Rainbow is housed a highly wearable and comfortable 42.5mm 18K gold case. One single domed sapphire crystal covers the top, another is the entire caseband, while an array of rainbow-colored, baguette-cut sapphires adorn the bezel and inner case ring.

The hour and minute dial of Fleurs de Jardin Rainbow is made of white gold PVD titanium and mother-of-pearl, with Roman numeral hour markers. As this dial is constantly turning, the time display always stays in the correct 12/6 position thanks to an ingenious patented differential system. The hands indicating the time are white gold-plated.
