Design and Craftsmanship

The impressive 50 mm case is crafted from luxurious 18K white gold and sapphire crystal, protected by a unique domed sapphire crystal with multiple anti-reflective treatments that provide uninterrupted views of the artistic display. The aventurine base features beautifully hand-engraved and hand-painted miniature versions of the Taj Mahal, Lotus Temple, India Gate, and Qutb Minar, creating remarkable depth and visual storytelling. A titanium hour and minute dial paired with Jacob & Co.'s signature blued hands ensures elegant readability, while the innovative lift-out rotating bows integrated into the caseback allow convenient winding and time setting.

Movement and Performance

At the heart of this exceptional creation is the exclusive hand-wound Jacob & Co. Caliber JCAM25, composed of 384 components and meticulously hand-finished to the highest standards of Swiss haute horlogerie. Operating at 21,600 vibrations per hour with a 60-hour power reserve, the movement features Jacob & Co.'s signature static vertical architecture with four rotating arms. The double-axis tourbillon rotates on its first axis every 60 seconds and its second axis every 2.5 minutes, while the exclusive 1-carat, 288-facet Jacob Cut® diamond and the blue lacquered magnesium globe each complete a full rotation every 30 seconds, creating an ever-changing mechanical spectacle around the handcrafted architectural scene.
