Jacob and Co Watches

Jacob & Co. Watches

Jacob & Co. doesn’t whisper. It shouts — in diamonds, tourbillons, spinning planets, and sapphire cases the size of espresso cups.

This is haute horology meets red carpet excess. Not for the faint of heart, not for the subtle collector. But if you’re chasing wow factor, Jacob delivers. Every. Single. Time.

A Little History

Jacob & Co. started as a jewelry house in New York in the 1980s, founded by Jacob Arabo, better known as “Jacob the Jeweler” — a go-to name for

hip-hop royalty and ultra-high-net-worth clientele.

In the early 2000s, the brand pivoted into watches. And they didn’t tiptoe in. They launched with oversized five-timezone quartz pieces that lit up

Miami and the NBA. Then they doubled down on mechanical spectacle — tourbillons, astronomical complications, and cases dripping in baguette diamonds.

Today, Jacob & Co. is a true haute horlogerie manufacturer — wild as ever, but backed by serious technical chops.

What Collectors Love

Let’s be real: no one does horological theater like Jacob.

You’re not here for subtlety. You’re here for:

  • The Astronomia — a 3D, orbital tourbillon with a rotating globe, spinning diamond moon, and a movement that floats under a full sapphire dome.

  • The Billionaire — a fully diamond-set skeleton tourbillon with a price tag to match.

  • Twin Turbo Furious — dual triple-axis tourbillons, decimal minute repeater, and chronograph in a single insane case.

  • The Five Time Zone — an early 2000s icon, worn by everyone from Jay-Z to David Beckham.

Movements are developed in partnership with top-tier Swiss manufactures (Concepto, Le Cercle des Horlogers, etc.), and the finishing — especially on

the high complications — is legit haute horlogerie.

Why Jacob & Co. Actually Matters

Because behind the flash, the watchmaking is real.

Yes, there are diamonds. Yes, the cases are huge. But look past that and you’ll find some of the most technically ambitious movements in modern

watchmaking — with true innovation in tourbillon construction, energy transmission, and motion display.

The Astronomia platform alone pushed the limits of movement architecture — and did it in a way that made people talk about watches again. Like it

or not, Jacob put haute complications in the pop culture spotlight.

What’s Out There Now

Jacob’s lineup breaks down into:

  • Astronomia Collection — dozens of variations (Solar, Sky, Art, Tourbillon), all with orbital mechanics under a sapphire dome

  • Epic X and Epic SF24 — sportier designs, travel complications, and skeletonized movements

  • Twin Turbo series — some of the most complex tourbillons on the market, with racing design language and musical complications

  • High Jewelry & Custom — where things get diamond-drenched and price-on-request

Pre-owned pieces are rare, often customized, and tend to hold value better than people expect — especially in limited releases or early Astronomia variants.

Fed’s Take

Jacob & Co. is not my everyday taste — but I’ll say this: every time I’ve handled one, I’ve been impressed.

The movements are insane. The cases are finished to a high standard. And when you see an Astronomia in person? You can’t look away. It’s hypnotic. Mechanical art at full volume.

If you’ve got the wrist, the personality, and the wallet to match — it’s one hell of a statement. And it’s not pretending to be anything else.
