Known for its extravagant and avant-garde approach to high watchmaking, Jacob & Co. has just revealed a brand-new Dual Time Time Zone as the first chapter of The World Is Yours collection.<\/p>\n
In addition to incredible craftsmanship, the new time-teller is focused on telling a much more personal story of its founder, Jacob Arabo. The inspiration stems from a Wakmann dual-time watch that Arabo\u2019s father had gifted him when he was about 13 years old. That specific timepiece became a driving force behind Arabo\u2019s passion and determination for watchmaking, which has since become a family heirloom.<\/p>\n
Measuring 43mm in case diameter, the timepiece is attired in 18k rose gold and houses a spectacularly crafted curved blue lacquered dial. The tantalizing watch face comes adorned with three rose gold-hued continents in stamped finishing. At the center of the dial sits a compass that slightly overlaps with the polar-positioned time zone indicators. Also outfitted in 18k rose gold, the caseback features an engraved depiction of the rest of the world map.<\/p>\n
As for power, the watch is geared with the new and exclusive JCAA11 caliber, a self-winding movement that\u2019s equipped with 42 hours of running time. Completing the time-teller is a tonal blue alligator strap with an 18k rose gold pin buckle that corresponds to the watch case.<\/p>\n
Priced at $57,000 USD, the new Dual Time Time Zone is released in a limited production of 999 pieces. To enquire about its availability, head over to Jacob & Co.\u2019s official website for more details.<\/p>\n
