Jacob & Co. Brilliant Skeleton – The Sparkle of Jewelry at the Heart of a Mechanical Skeleton

The Jacob & Co. Brilliant Skeleton Northern Lights Red Steel in 42 mm embodies the creative audacity and jewelry virtuosity of the New York-based company. Conceived in 2017 as a women’s collection in its own right, the Brilliant line is distinguished by its round case without lugs, its curved silhouette and its direct strap attachment, offering a fluid, modern and resolutely precious aesthetic.

Celestial inspiration: the Northern Lights on your wrist

The Brilliant Skeleton Northern Lights pays tribute to the Northern Lights, the mesmerizing natural phenomenon that illuminates the polar skies. Like these dancing veils of light, the watch is adorned with bright red-tinted mineral crystals, evoking a shower of light on the wrist. This interplay of transparency and color sublimates every movement, mirroring the gems that are cut and set with extreme precision.

Sculptural and ergonomic architecture

The 42 mm stainless steel case adopts a soft, three-dimensional pebble shape, ideal for the artistic gem-setting so dear to Jacob & Co. The sensual curves of the case maximize light refraction and give the watch its unique brilliance. Each surface becomes a canvas for the master gem setters, who are honored here with 323 brilliant-cut white diamonds set on the bezel, crown, buckle, and case.

Exclusive JCAM01 skeleton movement

At the heart of this work of horological art beats the JCAM01 caliber, a skeleton movement specially designed for this collection. Its extreme transparency, achieved through an openwork architecture, allows each component to be admired in its most essential form. The skeleton becomes design, the mechanics become aesthetics: a signature of Jacob & Co. in its desire to make each watch an object of contemplation.

Versatile, precious, and intensely expressive

Available as a wristwatch or pendant, the Brilliant Skeleton Northern Lights can be worn as desired, during the day or in the evening. The ultimate jewel watch, it expresses contemporary femininity through the most refined watchmaking techniques. Every detail—from the curve of the case to the balance of the skeleton dial—is designed to celebrate the individuality and inner light of the woman who wears it.
