It wouldn’t be shocking if Cristiano Ronaldo’s most recent wristwatch caused envy in a few ardent collectors. The legendary soccer player has unveiled the amazing Caviar Flying Tourbillon “Tsavorites,” a genuinely unique watch, as part of his ongoing partnership with Jacob & Co.
The magnificent green jewels that cover virtually every square inch of this bespoke watch’s surface gave it its moniker. The use of such an eye-catching color is a tribute to Saudi Arabia, where Ronaldo just moved after joining the Al Nassr soccer team. It’s interesting that the watchmakers used tsavorites over emeralds to obtain this vivid green color. Despite being less expensive than emeralds, these gemstones are almost 200 times rarer.
The watch’s 47 mm 18k white gold body, bezel, face, and crown are painstakingly set with 388 premium baguette-cut tsavorites. Although the use of so many jewels may appear expensive, the watch gains a distinctive all-green appearance as a result. The strap, which is made of green alligator leather, is the sole component of the watch that is unadorned by these valuable stones.
The caliber JCAA43 movement, which was especially created to match the stone setting, drives this amazing creation. The crucial functions of the hours, minutes, and a fascinating 60-second flying tourbillon at six o’clock are all driven by this manually wound caliber. It has a 42-hour power reserve and has 216 parts.
On the other hand, you could be let down if you were hoping to add a dash of green luxury to your wrist. The Caviar Flying Tourbillon “Tsavorite,” which Hypebeast estimates to be worth $780,000, appears to be intended only for the legendary soccer player.
Fortunately for Ronaldo’s supporters, Jacob & Co. has unveiled a collection of watches that are motivated by the sportsman. The rose gold Flight of CR7 and the stainless-steel Heart of CR7 watches, which were developed in conjunction with Ronaldo, were unveiled by the business last year. These timepieces each come in two variations—one without diamonds and one with them—and are only available in 99 pieces for prices ranging from $34,988 to $181,331. Even while the “Tsavorite” remains out of reach for the majority of people, these watches provide fans a chance to possess a piece of Ronaldo’s fashion.
