with 127 carats of intense yellow diamonds. But that wasn’t enough for this independently owned and operated jewelry and watch brand. Thee needed to take each of those renditions to new heights.... [+]When it was determined that the brand would move forward with this timepiece, ten top-notch gemologists scoured the Earth for enough perfectly matched rare diamonds.
The Asscher Cut, invented during the Art Deco era, is a square diamond with clipped or angled corners that offers a nice open view into the stone. The Asscher Cut diamonds on this watch boast 57 facets on the edges and the crown sits higher, so more rough stone is needed than for, say, a brilliant-cut stone.

case and bracelet made of lattice-like gold that is prepared by hand and into which the diamonds are invisibly set by hand.Yellow diamonds occur in earth about once in every 10,000 diamonds – making them one of the rarest colors in the world. Finding enough in large sizes was a challenge. According to Seraina Wicht, head of gemology watch production at Jacob & Co., “For the Billionaire Timeless Treasure, we were receiving stones one by one, two by two, three at the most.
Because larger stones were needed for the case – 46 of them exactly, weighing 55.15 carats, the brand turned to equally as large stones for the first links of the 159-carat bracelet – where the bracelet meets the case. They then gradually decline in size as they reach the clasp – simply because finding hundreds of larger sized stones was nearly impossible.
The 76 gems immediately surrounding the movement, on the inner flange are 3,59 carats of kite-cut and emerald-cut green tsavorites that are cut longer and thinner in order to fit into the inner ring between the case and the movement. As if that isn’t enough, the tourbillon escapement of the JCAM39 skeletonized movement is further set with 57 yellow baguette-cut diamonds.
