Jacob & Co. continues to push the boundaries of haute horology with the latest evolution of The World Is Yours collection, the 43mm Dual Time Zone Tourbillon.
Inspired by the first timepiece founder Jacob Arabo received from his father at 13, The World Is Yours collection is a celebration of exploration and ambition.
This latest iteration takes the tribute even further with the inclusion of a central 30-second tourbillon – rotating at twice the pace of a traditional tourbillon – positioned atop a meticulously crafted world map dial.
Powering this timepiece is the newly developed JCAA45 movement, an automatic caliber featuring an ultra-rare, off-centered micro-rotor made from solid 950 platinum. This architectural feat minimizes height while ensuring efficient winding, providing an impressive 65-hour power reserve.
The dual-time function allows for completely independent hour and minute adjustments – ideal for those tracking time zones with unusual offsets, such as India (+5h30) or Newfoundland (-3h30).
The titanium dial showcases an engraved world map, treated with blue PVD and 5N rose gold finishing.
The compass rose – a signature of the collection – now integrates seamlessly with the floating sapphire bridge of the tourbillon, while the caseback continues the earthly theme, depicting continents in gold over a deep blue sapphire ocean.
Encased in 18K rose gold with domed sapphire crystal, the Jacob & Co. The World Is Yours Dual Time Zone Tourbillon is limited to just 199 pieces worldwide, and is priced at $230,000.
