Tom Brady made headlines during his first Super Bowl appearance as a broadcaster, not just for his commentary but for his jaw-dropping $740,000 timepiece. While reviews of his broadcasting debut were mixed, his choice of accessory—a dazzling Jacob & Co. yellow sapphire Caviar Tourbillon watch—left fans and fashion enthusiasts in awe.
The former NFL quarterback and seven-time Super Bowl champion paired the watch with a sleek gray tailored suit. The watch, a standout piece from Jacob & Co., features 369 baguette-cut yellow sapphires, with 216 adorning the 44mm 18-karat rose gold case, 121 arranged in concentric rows on the dial, and 14 more plus a rose-cut gem on the crown. The dial alone boasts over nine carats of gemstones.
The Caviar Tourbillon collection by Jacob & Co. offers a variety of designs, including versions with white diamonds, emeralds, rubies, tsavorites, and colored sapphires. There’s even a vibrant rainbow edition. The design draws inspiration from the smooth, glistening texture of caviar in a tin, achieved through invisibly set baguette-cut gems that create a seamless, prong-free surface.
Beyond its stunning exterior, the watch features an automatic movement with a flying tourbillon—a mechanism that counters the effects of gravity to ensure precise timekeeping. The movement is visible through a sapphire crystal case back and is adorned with 338 brilliant-cut diamonds on the bridges and open-worked winding rotor.
In the world of luxury watches, such extravagant, gem-encrusted timepieces are classified as “high-jewelry watches.” This category represents the pinnacle of watchmaking and jewelry craftsmanship, combining intricate gem-setting techniques with advanced horology. Only a select few elite brands possess the expertise and resources to create such masterpieces, making Brady’s choice a true statement of luxury and sophistication.
Whether on the field or in the broadcast booth, Tom Brady continues to make waves—this time, with a watch that’s as unforgettable as his legendary career.
