Introducing The World is Yours With Jacob & Co.

Jacob & Co., founded by the visionary Jacob Arabo, has left an indelible mark on the world of luxury jewelry. Arabo's journey from the USSR to the USA, driven by the pursuit of a better life, laid the foundation for his exceptional creativity. Arabo's fascination with watches was ignited by a watch gift given to him by his father at the age of 13, setting him on a path of artistic exploration and innovation.

"My father gave me a watch as a gift when I was 13 years old, which displayed two time zones, and it had a gold-plated map of the world on the dial. It had two mechanical movements and that's where the idea for the five timezone watch came from." - Jacob Arabo

A watch held in such high regard by him that it ignited within him the desire and determination to eventually craft his own timepieces. This initial spark has served as the foundation of inspiration for every Jacob & Co. timepiece that holds a special place in his heart. Based on that, “The world is yours” watch was introduced, and its more than a dual timezone watch with independent hours and minutes. Beyond its exquisite craftsmanship and its captivating domed dial portraying the Earth's view from the sky, it stands as a testament to the profound influence of a father and his son.

" During my apprenticeship, I learned how to take a watch apart, how many parts there were, and it really moved me how complicated even a simple watch was. For me, I fell in love with watchmaking right then and there, and I started dreaming of making my own watch. My experience there inspires me and drives me still today." - Jacob Arabo

Mr. Jacob Arabo and his son have named their new collection 'The World Is Yours'. The inspiration for this name comes from the watch that the grandfather gave to the father, a timepiece that served as their guiding star, influencing the course of their lives. This deep connection to the new watch is emphasized by the wind rose design, which has been incorporated as a small seconds indicator.

Derived from its primary source of inspiration, the principal complication seamlessly integrated by Jacob & Co. is the dual time zone feature, elegantly managed through two sub-dials. Housed within a rose gold case measuring 43 mm in diameter and 14 mm in height, each element is artfully curved. The bezel displays a discerning curvature, rounded edges, and a slender profile. Complementing the case architecture, a gracefully domed sapphire crystal adds to the design, a crucial element considering the dial's curved presentation, reflecting the Earth's curvature it emulates.

The dial is crafted from 18K rose gold and adorned with blue lacquer along with rose gold-plated hands, elegantly showcases intricate elements that pay homage to the continents laser-carved on the dial and coated with rose gold. This vividly captures the world map with a compass rose at the center. Additionally, the gracefully domed dial boasts a 3.7mm height variation, beautifully echoing the Earth's contours. Skillfully designed to accommodate dual time zones, it features Roman numerals at 12 o'clock and Arabic numerals at 6 o'clock.

The Manufacture Jacob & Co. Self-Winding JCAA11 caliber is powering this timepiece. This complex mechanism stands as evidence of Jacob & Co.'s commitment to precision and artistry, resulting in a distinctive and exceptionally refined horological masterpiece, operating at 28,800 vph with 42 hours of power reserve. The caseback is also crafted from 18k rose gold, featuring a laser engraving that encapsulates the continents of Europe, Africa, and Asia.

The watch comes with a blue leather strap adorned with a rose gold pin buckle, priced at USD 57,000, which is equivalent to AED 210,000, and is limited to only 999 pieces.
