"Visually, the Tourbillon Baguette is arresting. The oversized tonneau-shaped case, rendered in solid 18K gold, stretches 55mm wide and is adorned with over 400 baguette-cut diamonds or sapphires, depending on the model. The stones are invisibly set in a technique that leaves no visible metal between them, creating a seamless field of brilliance. This is not for the minimalist collector. This is high-octane opulence that unapologetically celebrates excess-from the hand-polished edges to the three-dimensional engine replica pulsing inside."
"Under the hood is the custom-built JCAM37 manual-winding caliber, developed exclusively by Jacob & Co. for this project. It features a 30-degree inclined flying tourbillon that improves chronometric performance while providing visual depth and intrigue. With a 60-hour power reserve, it doesn't just keep time-it dominates it. Each turn of the crown is a reminder that this timepiece isn't only about luxury-it's about mechanical mastery. The visible tourbillon, paired with the rhythmic motion of the pistons, showcases an engineering dialogue between watchmaking"

Production is strictly limited to 18 pieces worldwide and pricing approaches one million dollars, merging haute horlogerie, high jewelry, and mechanical theatrics.
