Jacob & Co. The World Is Yours Dual Time Zone Tourbillon

The first evolution of The World Is Yours Dual Time Zone adds a layer of horological excitement to a highly emotional timepiece. The curved dial of The World Is Yours collection welcomes a tourbillon as its pinnacle. Sitting at the highest point of a world map, it gives the 43-mm Dual Time Zone Tourbillon a new dimension.

Launched in 2023, The World Is Yours Dual Time Zone is a tribute to the first timepiece Jacob Arabo ever owned, a dual-time zone watch with a world map dial, gifted to him by his father at the age of 13. Beyond its inspirational design, this family heirloom was a message, one so powerful it gave the collection its name. It meant, “My son, the world is yours. Go and explore it.”

This timepiece's central tourbillon revolves at twice the pace of a normal tourbillon, once every 30 seconds. This improvement in acceleration is a testament to Jacob & Co.'s high watchmaking skill, applied throughout the brand's creations. The tourbillon carriage bridge is crafted from transparent sapphire, giving the illusion of floating, allowing the entire space to be occupied by another signature detail of the collection: the compass rose.

It was only a matter of time before Jacob & Co. Founder and Chairman created a timepiece honoring his father and the gift he had given him. This timepiece commemorates young Jacob Arabo receiving his first watch from his father at age 13, coined “The Father of All Watches,” and honors the rise of Jacob & Co. since the brand’s first timepiece creation in 2002. The collection, titled The World Is Yours, housed the legendary complication that Jacob & Co. has made its ultimate specialty: the tourbillon.

The World Is Yours Dual Time Zone Tourbillon is its heir and progeny, telling a story of legacy, identity, transformation, and horological excellence.
