- Ronaldo’s latest watch is covered with 388 gemstones.
- Caviar Flying Tourbillon “Tsavorites” features virtually all-green gems.
- Jacob & Co. is selling a range of timepieces with Ronaldo-inspired designs.
We wouldn’t be shocked if some watch aficionados envied Cristiano Ronaldo’s most recent timepiece.
The most eye-catching benefit from the football legend’s partnership with Jacob & Co. is the one-of-a-kind Caviar Flying Tourbillon “Tsavorites.” The virtually all-green gems that adorn the sparkling custom clock give it its name.
As a tribute to Saudi Arabia, where Ronaldo moved earlier this month after joining the football team Al Nassr, the eye-catching colour of the watch was chosen. The watchmaker chose tsavorites rather than emeralds to obtain the green hue because they are 200 times rarer and 200 times less expensive than their cousins.
The watch’s 388 superb, baguette-cut tsavorites are set in the 47 mm 18k white gold case, bezel, face, and crown. Although this might seem a bit over the top, the watch is given a beautiful, all-green appearance that is hard to forget. Even though it is the only part of the watch not covered with stones, the strap is made of green alligator leather.
Bridges in the watch’s calibre JCAA43 movement were specifically designed to fit the gem setting. The hand-wound calibre drives the flying tourbillon for hours, minutes, and seconds at six o’clock. There are 216 parts and 42 hours of power reserve.
However, if you want a green wristband, you’re out of luck. Football’s all-time leading goal scorer is the only recipient of the Caviar Flying Tourbillon “Tsavorite,” which Hypebeast values at $780,000.
For the benefit of Ronaldo’s fans, Jacob & Co. is selling a range of timepieces with Ronaldo-inspired designs.
The company debuted two watches at the end of the previous year: the rose gold Flight of CR7 and the stainless-steel Heart of CR7. Each watch is only available in 99 pieces and comes in two versions, one with diamonds and the other without; the prices range from $34,988 to $181,331.
