Open a large tin of caviar. The glistening grains are packed tight together. So tight they're not round anymore, but closer to a square. The flat surface is perfectly smooth, saturated with black gems. This universal symbol of luxury is the effect Jacob & Co. recreated with the Caviar Tourbillon. Caviar Tourbillon is a showcase of the high jewelry expertise of Jacob & Co., applied to a high watchmaking timepiece. Caviar Tourbillon is entirely covered in gems. They're not round, as brilliant-cut gems can't entirely fill any space. Jacob & Co. exclusively selected the baguette cut. In order to recreate the smooth surface of caviar, Jacob & Co. only works with the invisible setting technique. No prongs, no metal appears that would break the continuous array of gems. The 47-mm case is covered in 224 baguette-cut gems. The crown contains 16 more and a large rose-cut gem. The large dial is made of a series of concentric rows of 130 baguette-cut gems. White diamonds. Emeralds. Rubies. Blue, icy blue, yellow, pink or orange sapphires. Emeralds. Rubies. Tsavorites. A camouflage-type or rainbow colour arrangement. Caviar Tourbillon is 424 gems exploding with light.
