Jacob & Co Unveils the Brilliant Flying Tourbillon – The First To Flaunt A Diamond-Set Balance Wheel

Jacob & Co., a brand synonymous with audacious innovation, disrupts the dictates of high watchmaking with its newest creation - the Brilliant Flying Tourbillon Baguette Pastel Arlequino. The watchmaking powerhouse arrestingly combines technological prowess with dazzling luxury, promising a spectacle of glittering allure that the horological world hasn’t seen before. The eminent highlight of this unique timepiece is the diamond-set balance wheel – a first in the era of modern watchmaking. This unprecedented addition transforms one of the movement’s most delicate components into a vibrant beacon of scintillation.

Adding an entirely different dimension to the masterpiece is the diamond-set balance wheel perched above the 6 o’clock position, stealing the spotlight with its luminous splendour. The balance wheel oscillates at 21,600 vibrations per hour while the tourbillon rotates once per minute- a dance that continually changes the interplay of diamonds with light, creating the impression of a radiant halo. Jacob & Co. masterfully integrated 54 diamonds sustaining the balance wheel’s requisite characteristics and contributing a unique technical statement.

The watch is powered by the self-winding JCFA02 calibre, with the bridges adorned with 234 brilliant-cut white diamonds, continuing the high-jewellery treatment on the caseback side. The new marvel from Jacob & Co. embodies the perfect mélange of ingenuity and opulence, marking a momentous milestone in the realm of horology.
