Description

Video Fleurs de Jardin by Jacob & Co for Ladies Complication Inspired by the movement of the Astronomia Solar, which was smaller and more compact that the iconic Astronomia, the 42.5mm Fleurs de Jardin features a three-satellite movement that rotates around the dial in ten minutes. On one satellite arm is the Jacob & Co. flying tourbillon; on the second arm is the time display (using a sophisticated mechanism to ensure the time is always in the correct position) and on the third arm is a gemstone flower that turns counterclockwise. Under these satellite arms are more gemstone flowers that are rotating clockwise around the dial, ensuring that no matter when you look at your timepiece, it will always look different. With the Fleurs de Jardin, Jacob & Co. has leveraged traditional horological and gem-setting techniques in the service of feminine art. Features simplified: Flying tourbillon; time display; rotating gemstone flowers
