DESIGN INSPIRATION
In 2017, Jacob & Co. created a new ladies' collection that looked like no other. Round, without lugs, with a strap directly attached to the case, Brilliant was designed to be versatile, precious and to embrace the entire range of gems Jacob & Co. loves. Brilliant Baguette is the most lavish expression of its high jewelry spirit.
Brilliant Baguette is entirely covered in gems, from dial to case. Jacob & Co. exclusively selected the baguette cut. In order to recreate the smoothest surface, Jacob & Co. only works with the invisible setting technique. No prongs, no metal appears that would break the continuous array of gems. White diamonds. Emeralds. Rubies. Blue, yellow, pink or orange sapphires. Tsavorites. A rainbow color arrangement. Brilliant Baguette is Jacob & Co.'s ultimate expression of femininity.
THE COMPLICATIONS & FEATURES
Brilliant Baguette showcases the exceptional expertise Jacob & Co. has gathered in the area of gem-setting timepieces. The special invisible setting requires a high level of quality for gems, and an elaborate technique.
THE INVISIBLE SETTING
In invisible, all gems are laid out without any visible connection between them and the metal. It requires a unique set of skills that Jacob & Co. has become a specialist of. The baguette-cut gem’s long side is grooved. On the metal end (dial or case), a master jeweler creates vertical anchoring beams, in the shape of a T. The grooves are snapped in place on the T-shaped structure. The gem is set tight, extremely close to its neighbors while absolutely no metal shows.
THE LIFESTYLE
Brilliant Baguette instantly achieves elegance, refinement and ultimate luxury. It can either be worn as an everyday-wear timepiece or an evening wear one. It matches a pair of cashmere sweatpants, a pantsuit or a dramatic evening gown with equal grace. Brilliance is at ease with every moment of life, and so is Brilliant Baguette.
