The Mystery Tourbillon is a horological statement of vast magnitude. One of the most elaborate movements ever made is surrounded by a dizzying number of gems. The very nature of Jacob & Co., high jewelry, high watchmaking and relentless innovation, takes the shape of this singular timepiece.
The Mystery Tourbillon is a double tribute to the greatest achievements of high watchmaking. One is Mystery Clocks. First invented by 19th century watchmaker and illusionist Jean-Eugène Robert-Houdin, they amazed the crowds with their intriguing and apparently impossible mechanisms. Like them, The Mystery Tourbillon’s display is enigmatic. The other is the tourbillon itself. The Mystery Tourbillon is a contemporary, never-imagined take on the flagship complication : its two tourbillons are combined back to back while spinning 360° on three axes and at high speed.
The sophistication of the gem-setting Jacob & Co. has applied on The Mystery Tourbillon is beyond measure. The 50-mm case and dial elements are drenched with over 550 gems of hexagon and baguette cut. The Mystery Tourbillon is, more than any other Jacob & Co. timepiece, Inspired by the impossible.
