At first glance, this extravagant jeweled ornament draws your attention to its lavish adornment of fruits, orchids and the fluttering hummingbird. Close up, it is one of the most complicated tourbillon clock built – a jewelry, lapidary and watch-making masterpiece at $1.9 million.
Inspired by the Garden of Eden, it has in total over 4,800 pieces of natural gemstones – nautilus, nephrite, diamond, demantoid garnet, sapphire, ruby, tanzanite, amethyst and natural pearls. There are 4,144 diamonds with a total weight of 29.967 carats.
The Horn of Plenty “Glory” features the mother-of-pearl shell of an oceanic mollusk nautilus, caught in the eastern part of the Indian Ocean. It is mounted on the clock to look like a cockleshell braided with algae.
Amethyst grapes sourced from Brazil and leaves carved from emerald nephritis decorated alongside the algae. A hummingbird hovering above an orchid tops the timepiece. Rare precious stones including a crimson garnet-almandine, a sea pearl for the body, and a scattering of diamonds on the bird’s wings can be found on the hummingbird.
Some 600 pieces of rare Russian demantoid garnets are studded in the clock, which is tucked away in the roots of the floral sculpture. The subtle numeral engraving and the clock hand are concealed at the base. The hidden clock features advanced technology. The manually wound clock comes with a small diamond and demantoid garnet studded golden key and has a 8 day reserve. The key is kept in a miniature nephrite box in the base of the clock alongside other small valuables.
