The Billionaire Double Tourbillon Angel Cut watch is a high-jewelry timepiece developed by Jacob & Co. as part of its Billionaire collection. The watch introduces a dual tourbillon configuration within a fully gem-set structure, expanding the brand’s approach to combining horology with jewelry craftsmanship. The design centers on a skeletonized movement that supports two flying tourbillons positioned within the dial. The model also debuts the Angel Cut, a proprietary diamond cut developed by the brand and applied across the case and bracelet.
The watch is constructed with a white gold case and bracelet set with hundreds of precisely cut diamonds arranged using invisible setting techniques. Emerald-cut and custom Angel Cut stones form a continuous surface across the exterior. The movement integrates dual tourbillons within a skeleton framework, allowing visibility through the dial. The bracelet structure follows a linked construction that supports the weight of the gem-set components.

What's Driving This Trend
- High-jewelry Horology Fusion
- The seamless integration of full gem-setting with complex movements signals a shift toward timepieces that merge jewelry craftsmanship and mechanical prestige into single luxury artifacts.
- Proprietary Gem Cut Design
- A brand-developed Angel Cut demonstrates how unique diamond geometries can create intellectual-property-driven differentiation in aesthetic and light performance.
- Visible Dual Tourbillon Aesthetics
- Skeletonized movements exposing twin flying tourbillons indicate growing demand for movement visibility as a core design feature that elevates mechanical complexity into a visual spectacle.
Who This Affects Most
- Luxury Watchmaking
- Ultra-high-end watchmakers face opportunities to redefine value by embedding bespoke gem-setting techniques and unique movement architectures within limited-edition collections.
- High-end Jewelry Manufacturing
- Precision invisible settings and custom stone cuts point to new manufacturing demands for tightly integrated jewelry-engineering collaboration and advanced gem-cutting services.
- Materials and Precision Engineering
- The need to support heavy gem-set bracelets and skeleton frameworks highlights potential for novel lightweight alloys, micro-structure supports, and precision joining methods that reconcile strength with aesthetic transparency.
