Story Philippe Dufour Wearing The World is Yours From Jacob & Co

The Dufour and Jacobs families are among the most prominent names in the world of fine watchmaking. Today's story is something that reflects how much passion and love for everything that is special about watchmaking, and seeing top watchmakers bounce back from other companies underscores the deep respect and admiration they have for the craft.

The tale of this watch commences several months ago when Daniela Dufour, daughter of the renowned master watchmaker, obtained the Jacob & Co timepiece, "The World is Yours," as a gift for her father. Enthralled by its origins, Daniela was drawn to the story behind the creation of the watch, crafted collaboratively by Jacob and his son Benjamin.

Indeed, the "The World Is Yours" Dual Time Zone bears a profoundly special narrative, embodying heritage, familial lineage, and the artistry of watchmaking within the Arabov family. Inspired by a dual time zone watch gifted to Jacob by his father, Nison Arabov, at the age of 13, "The World is Yours" Dual Time Zone represents the pivotal timepiece that opened the realms of the world and watchmaking to Jacob Arabov. It stands as a tribute to the enduring legacy of the Arabov family, igniting in Jacob the ambition and determination to craft his own timepieces. This initial spark has since guided all Jacob & Co. watches, remaining within the family and awaiting stewardship by future generations.
