Description

Fleurs de Jardin Rainbow by Jacob & Co for Ladies Complication

This year, Jacob & Co. introduces a rainbow version of its ground-breaking Fleurs de Jardin. Designed to recreate a beautiful garden of flowers on your wrist, framed by sparkling rainbows, this amazing timepiece is powered by a delicate butterfly-shaped flying tourbillon movement. 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 below turns counter-clockwise. In addition, one rainbow gemstone flower on the upper level turns counterclockwise.

The 42.5mm 18K rose gold case features a bezel and inner ring set with rainbow sapphires, and sitting atop the movement is a 288-facet Jacob-cut grass-green tsavorite.

The biggest challenge for any rainbow watch is to source the right color gemstones. With exceptional skill, the designers at Jacob & Co. are masters at sourcing, selecting, and setting precious stones, so the Fleurs de Jardin Rainbow is the ultimate example of an exquisite gemstone rainbow.
