The Rasputin Tourbillon is a watch with secrets and concealed debauchery. To reveal its secrets, however, one must first break through the 47.6mm 18k white gold case that is composed entirely of baguette diamonds. A diamond-paved slider at 9 o'clock operates the minute repeater function of the JCAM27 manually wound movement. As the minute repeater chimes two swans in the upper half of the dial peck at a heart. At the same time, the lower half of the watch that had been hand engraved with a motif resembling curtains opens to expose a hand-painted erotic scene that lies beneath.

Erotic scenes in watches date from the 17th century. Watchmakers started with painted versions, then added automatons that moved and acted out these scenes. Many of the watches had them brazenly on the dial side, while others had them hidden on the caseback.

With the Rasputin, you have the best of both worlds, with the erotic automaton hidden by a curtain that opens to reveal the scene, while the minute repeater chimes out the time.

On the surface, the Rasputin looks like a high-quality, diamond-set timepiece. Only you know the secret that can be revealed with the push of a lever.

The JCAM27 manual winding movement powers the one-minute tourbillon visible through
the case back. An additional complication of the Rasputin is a minute repeater,
with the hours and minutes chimed by Jaquemart swans framing a heart-shaped
ruby. When the minute repeater is actuated, curtains at 6 o'clock open to
reveal an automaton erotic scene.

The incredible Rasputin Grand Complication is housed in a 47.6mm polished 18K white gold case. The case band is invisibly-set with 177 baguette diamonds, while the bezel is invisibly-set with 100 baguette diamonds and the crown is set with 14 baguette diamonds and one cabochon-cut diamond. Even the lever actuating the minute repeater and the curtain is set with 15 baguette diamonds. The Rasputin features anti-reflective sapphire crystals on the dial side and the case back.

The spectacular box for the Jacob & Co. Rasputin Tourbillon hints at what is inside with the erotic sculptures around the outside, protected from the elements by octagonal anti-reflective glass. The box itself is made of black-lacquered natural wood coated with brilliant sheen, while the sculptures themselves are red-lacquered wood covered with a bright nickel-finish. The box is hand-crafted in France, and features a document holder frame.

The 18K white gold dial is invisibly-set with 187 baguette white diamonds (approximately 8.47 carats) and one heart-shaped diamond (approximately 0.22 carats). The hand-engraved curtains open to reveal the concealed erotic scene.

The hands of the Rasputin are skeletonized blue leaf.
