Fleurs De Jardin Icy Blue Sapphires AF321.30.BB.AA.B

Description of the Jacob & Co Fleurs De Jardin Icy Blue Sapphires AF321.30.BB.AA.B

The Jacob & Co Fleurs De Jardin Icy Blue Sapphires AF321.30.BB.AA.B is an extraordinary high-jewelry luxury watch that transforms a miniature flower garden into an intricate mechanical spectacle. Crafted from 18K white gold with a single-block sapphire caseband, this 42.5 mm timepiece combines icy blue sapphires, multicolored gemstones, mother-of-pearl and a three-dimensional mechanical movement beneath a curved sapphire crystal.

Limited to 101 pieces, the Fleurs De Jardin is powered by the hand-wound Jacob & Co JCAM31 caliber. Its constantly animated display combines a rotating central platform, a flying tourbillon, an orbital hours-and-minutes dial and gemstone flowers, creating the appearance of a mechanical garden continuously changing as the watch operates.

Why the Jacob & Co Fleurs De Jardin Appeals to Luxury Watch Collectors in the UAE

For collectors in Dubai and across the UAE, the Jacob & Co Fleurs De Jardin offers a distinctive combination of high jewelry, artistic design and complicated Swiss watchmaking. The AF321.30.BB.AA.B stands apart through its cool white-gold architecture and icy blue baguette sapphires, contrasted by colorful gemstone flowers.

The movement itself forms part of the artistic display. Its central platform completes a full revolution every 10 minutes, while the flying tourbillon rotates every 60 seconds. A patented differential allows the off-centered hours-and-minutes dial to remain upright and readable as it travels around the central axis.

Design and Craftsmanship

The Fleurs De Jardin features a 42.5 mm 18K white gold case with a single-block sapphire caseband, measuring 21 mm high. A curved anti-reflective sapphire crystal creates a greenhouse-like structure that provides an expansive view of the three-dimensional movement and gemstone flowers.

The case and inner rings are invisibly set with 134 baguette-cut icy blue sapphires totaling approximately 6.1 carats. At the center of the garden sits a 288-facet Jacob-cut tsavorite of approximately 0.8 carat, surrounded by 12 kite-cut rubies, while eight satellite flowers are constructed from kite-cut multicolored sapphires.

Movement and Performance

Powering the watch is the Jacob & Co JCAM31, a manually wound three-dimensional mechanical caliber composed of 444 components. It operates at 28,800 vibrations per hour (4 Hz) and provides approximately 48 hours of power reserve.

The vertical central platform revolves once every 10 minutes, carrying the flying tourbillon, orbital time display and gemstone flowers. The flying tourbillon itself rotates every 60 seconds, effectively creating a double-axis motion as it simultaneously travels around the central platform. The mother-of-pearl base rotates in the opposite direction every 10 minutes, adding another layer of continuous animation.
