Billionaire Ashoka, a 62 precisely-cut facets Named after India's greatest King Ashoka Maurya   Since its introduction in 2015, the Jacob & Co Billionaire has reached fame as the watch coveted by all with a price tag surpassing $18 million. With only one in existence worldwide, the Billionaire is a unique piece adorned with Emerald-Cut Diamonds with an approximate carat weight of 260 carats. Now, Jacob & Co is using the Ashoka diamond for the very first time in a diamond-encrusted tourbillon timepiece.   The white gold case of the Billionaire Ashoka measures 54x40mm and houses a skeletonized tourbillon movement, exclusive to Jacob & Co Artistry in and of itself, skeletonizing this tourbillon movement removes every bit of extraneous material, leaving only what is necessary to ensure precise and robust operation.  Every surface is chamfered, polished and finished to perfection. This manual-wind, almost see-through timepiece has an impressive power reserve of 72 hours.
