Billionaire III White Diamonds

Description of the Jacob & Co. Watch

The Jacob & Co Billionaire III White Diamonds BL115.30.BD.AA.A30BD is one of the most extravagant high jewelry timepieces ever created, combining exceptional diamond artistry with advanced Swiss watchmaking. Crafted entirely in 18K white gold and adorned with hundreds of emerald-cut white diamonds, this extraordinary watch features a skeletonized tourbillon movement designed to disappear beneath the brilliance of its gemstones, creating the ultimate statement of luxury and exclusivity.

Why Is the Jacob & Co Billionaire III Considered the Ultimate Diamond Tourbillon Watch

Created as a continuation of Jacob Arabo’s vision to merge the worlds of haute joaillerie and haute horlogerie, the Billionaire III elevates the original Billionaire concept through unmatched gem-setting craftsmanship and architectural movement engineering. Limited to only 18 pieces worldwide, this masterpiece showcases over 129 carats of emerald-cut white diamonds alongside a vertically aligned skeleton tourbillon caliber, delivering extraordinary brilliance, transparency, and mechanical sophistication.

Design and Craftsmanship

The watch features a 54 x 43 mm 18K white gold case and fully integrated bracelet invisibly set with 656 emerald-cut white diamonds totaling approximately 129.60 carats. The skeletonized bridges of the movement are crafted from white gold and adorned with 57 baguette-cut diamonds, allowing the mechanical architecture to blend seamlessly into the surrounding diamonds. Every surface reflects meticulous gem-setting precision, while the blued skeletonized hands create elegant contrast against the dazzling diamond-set structure.

Movement and Performance

At the heart of the Billionaire III lies the Jacob & Co. Caliber JCAM39, a hand-wound skeletonized mechanical movement specifically developed for the Billionaire collection. Despite its ultra-thin openworked construction, the caliber incorporates a one-minute tourbillon and delivers approximately 72 hours of power reserve. Operating at 21,600 vibrations per hour, the movement balances high complication watchmaking with the demanding structural requirements of extensive invisible gem setting.
