Drawing inspiration from Jacob Arabo's rich tradition of gem-setting, the Brilliant collection showcases stunning women’s watches wreathed in the beauty of precious stones and gems. The brand brought their eccentric persona, conspicuous in timepieces like Godfather and Astronomia, into the Brilliant collection, creating exquisite round-shaped watches for modern women. From the absence of lugs to delicate mother-of-pearl dials and dazzling diamonds, every detail of the Brilliant watches exudes femininity and elegance, at once pushing the boundaries of haute joaillerie and haute horlogerie.
Capturing The Beauty Of Diamonds — Jacob & Co. Brilliant Watches
The Brilliant collection houses some of the most intricate and awe-worthy designs, like Brilliant Pavé and Brilliant Baguette models. They are extraordinary timepieces completely enveloped in precious stones and diamonds, from the pebble-shaped case to the dial. And taking the magical feminity of these watches forward is the Brilliant Mystery line-up. It brings forward a unique construction where a gemstone-covered island sits in the middle of a ring-shaped case, which is also adorned with diamonds. With two triangular markers for hours and minutes affixed onto transparent sapphire glass, Brilliant Mystery creates a captivating illusion of floating hands upon the dial.
In true Jacob & Co. tradition, complex watchmaking is a big part of the Brilliant collection with timepieces like Brilliant Flying Tourbillon, Brilliant Skeleton Jewellery, and Brilliant Northern Lights. While Skeleton Jewellery bares open the whole movement on the dial, Brilliant Northern Lights shows the same discreetly against coloured mineral crystal. Also, the introduction of the flying tourbillon complication, against a dazzling full pavé dial, in Brilliant Flying Tourbillon watches elevates the overall collection both aesthetically and mechanically.
