Jacob & Co.'s 'God of Time': A Groundbreaking Tribute to the Greek Titan and Revolutionary Tourbillon Timepiece
Jacob & Co. has always been a powerhouse in the realm of timepieces, and with their latest release, the ‘God of Time’, they’ve shown their endless ability to amaze. The timepiece boasts the tagline ’the fastest tourbillon ever’, and remarkably, this isn’t mere bragging rights. Unlike standard tourbillon mechanisms that revolve once every 60 seconds, the ‘God of Time’ defies convention with a tourbillon spinning every four seconds thanks to its bespoke JCAM60 manually wound movement.
Upon first witnessing the ‘God of Time’, one would be forgiven for a misplaced guess at the speed of its tourbillon. Flanked by a stellar blue aventurine backdrop, the tourbillon window sits cradled in the hands of an 18k rose gold motif of Chronos, the Greek god of time. This exquisite design detail not only nods to its name but also imparts an ethereal charm to the watch.
Coinciding with Mr. Arabo’s 60th birthday, the ‘God of Time’ Tourbillon made its debut in 2025. A picture of Mr. Arabo graces the caseback of the watch, further cementing the parallels drawn between him and the Greek deity. Only 60 of these masterpieces will be crafted, in honor of his 60th birthday - a testament to the creator’s mission to provide exclusive, pioneering designs for watch aficionados.
