THE MYSTERY TOURBILLON

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.
