Astronomia Casino

The Astronomia Casino is both a game of chance and a high horological timepiece. On the base of the dial, in clear view inside the gold and sapphire case is a fully functional roulette wheel, rendered in a spectacular array of green, red, and black enamel with mahogany inlays. The wheel and ceramic white ball are set in motion by a button at the eight o'clock position. This action also winds the power reserve for the animation. Above this spectacular animation is the iconic Astronomia four-arm vertical movement with its four exclusive complications: a double-axis tourbillon, a rotating 1-carat spherical diamond with the exclusive Jacob Cut, a rotating blue lacquered magnesium glob of the Earth and a skeletonized time display. This entire platform performs a full rotation around a central axis every ten minutes. This is a watch that has captured the imagination of the fine watchmaking public, providing an extra bit of luck for anyone who wears it. At the center of the Astronomia is an unprecedented four-arm movement with a time display and three exclusive complications. Two have earned patents because of their design and engineering. The other two are original works of art that highlight Jacob & Co.’s skilled craftsmanship. When combined, they contribute to a spectacle of moving objects that rotate and float inside a spectacular sapphire crystal case. Since its introduction in 2014, the stars, the moon and planets take on a new wonderment and meaning with each new piece. Even as the Astronomia story continues, it has already earned its place in the world of haute horlogerie.

Epic X

The Epic X is a collection defined by its unmistakable design, contemporary style, and high-end watchmaking solutions. Every Epic X is a statement-piece: a bold combination of traditional and high-tech materials, exclusive and highly refined calibers, and a truly Epic aesthetic that is immediately recognizable and yet remarkably versatile. From sporty and rugged to precious and elegant, every Epic X is as striking as it is multifaceted. At its heart, the Epic X is a modern evolution of one of the most traditional forms of watchmaking. The open-worked, or "skeletonized" timepiece allows the movement to be visible both through the dial and the back of the watch, with as much metal removed as possible without compromising functionality. The goal of the watchmaker crafting an open-worked watch is to achieve the highest level of transparency possible, the challenging combination of visual lightness with structural integrity.

The Opera Godfather

The Opera Godfather uses a series of artistic details and high watchmaking complications to tell the story of one of the greatest films ever made, Francis Ford Coppola's The Godfather. It was created in a novel official partnership with Paramount Pictures, the production and distribution company of the famous feature film. Powered by its exclusive, 658-component JCFM04 movement, the Opera Godfather features a bespoke music box that plays the first 120 notes of The Godfather theme. Artistic details can include a hand-painted replica of a piano, the film’s iconic logo on a black painted 18K gold plate, and a hand-painted figurine of the Godfather himself with cigar in hand. These artistic flourishes and high watchmaking complications are combined in a well-balanced dial display that presents the epic crime story in glorious sight and sound. Like the film, the Opera Godfather is a timeless work of high technical expertise and fine art.

Jacob Arabo, Founder & Chairman of Jacob & Co.

Jacob & Co. Heritage

Jacob Arabo lives to create timepieces and jewelry that the world has never seen. Take the Astronomia Collection as an example – a galaxy on the wrist, many Swiss watchmakers saw this idea as “Impossible.” Mr. Arabo took up the challenge and made this timepiece, and its many iterations, a reality, and a success.

Mr. Arabo is not content making hundreds of the same watches and jewels. He lives to create and innovate, always working on the next ground-breaking, revolutionary idea. Jacob & Co. is a different kind of watch company, combining the daring and entrepreneurial spirit of America with the high watchmaking and high jewelry making of Switzerland. With a foot in both worlds, Mr. Arabo and his company are dedicated to shaking up the status quo.
