Jacob watches are exquisite! There is no
other watchmaker that has captured such an original concept
and brought it to life the way Jacob Arabo has. His designs
have put him on top of the watch designing world, and rightly
so!
Founded in 1981, the Jacob Company immediately rose to the
front of the pack. Jacob Arabo and his family emigrated from
Russia to the United States. The family wound up in New York
City, N.Y. After attending a jewelry design school to develop
his natural talents, he opened a booth in NYC’s diamond
district. Quickly gaining notoriety, Jacob began to design
watches for private clients and brands. By the late 1900’s
and into the new millennium, the signature Jacob watch was
created, “The Five Time Zone Watch”. Celebrities
dubbed it “The watch to watch.”
The watches of Jacob have grown in size to over 60 total
designs. Watches designed by the Jacob Co. really are unlike
any other on the market. There must be something to this Jacob
“cat”. After all, he has some of today’s
top celebrities, like Angela Bassett, Justin Timberlake, Jimmy
Fallon, Naomi Campbell, Nelly, Sharon & Ozzy Osbourne
and Jessica Simpson sporting his stylish Jacob wristwatch
ook!
The Jacob Co watch collection includes: Full and Mid-Size
5 Time Zone Watch, Automatic Chronographs, Angel Watch, Five
Time Zone Watch and the Capri Three Time Zone Watch. Models
from Jacob include: JC-7, JC-10, ACM-1, ACM-8, C-16 and the
C-20. Features attributed to these wrist watch models include:
5 time zones and date indicator, water resistance, 3 timers
minutes/hours/ seconds and some models have 2 time zones.
Dials for the Jacob line of watches are absolutely breathtaking!
Blue mother-of-pearl, white stone, yellow gold, silver, red,
natural mother-of-pearl, fossilized stone and even pave diamond
dials are offered on these beautiful timepieces. Available
watch bands to accentuate the watches made by Jacob &
Co. are: polyurethane deployment buckle straps (red, blue,
yellow and black), leather (black or brown), steel bracelet,
and a polyurethane deployment buckle strap (pastel pink, blue,
yellow and white) for the ladies as well.
The Jacob style of watches may not be in a cheap price range.
The starting price is somewhere in the range of $12,000. You
can find some deals online, but it will still run somewhere
in the thousands. You get what you pay for, though. Watches
of this caliber are bound to become collector’s items
one day.
