Founded in New York City in 1986 by diamond jewelry designer Jacob Arabo, Jacob & Co. started out as a jeweler to celebrities, rappers, and socialites. His eponymous brand quickly launched into the world of timepieces – introducing unusually shaped world time zone watches, and quickly moving into the realm of three-dimensional works of horology and art. Jacob & Co is equally known for its Grand Complication masterpieces (especially the Twin Turbo and the 3D Astronomia), as well as for its breathtaking high-jeweled beauties.
