Experience the Melodious Charm of The Godfather II, A New Horizon in Swiss Watchmaking by Jacob & Co

Jacob & Co, a distinguished name in the sphere of Swiss watchmaking, has unveiled its latest masterpiece - The Godfather II. A brand celebrated not only for its expressive design but also for its innovative technical complexity, Jacob & Co consistently delivers striking timepieces that truly stand out. Their latest release, The Godfather II, pays tribute to the 1972 eternally-respected Francis Ford Coppola’s cinematic saga, widely held as one of the greatest, influential films ever.

The Godfather II, however, is more than just a tribute. It’s an exquisite blend of visually arresting aesthetics and staggering musical functionality. Inspired by the famous line “I believe in America”, Jacob Arabo - a hardworking immigrant from Uzbekistan - sees the quote as a reflection of his own life’s story. The phrase, often used to symbolise ambition and destiny, has become an apt thematic foundation for this timepiece.

The Godfather II resonates with Arabo’s personal connection to the film, being the first movie he saw in a theatre after 2 years of tireless labour in the USA. Thus, this watch embodies not just a cinematic masterpiece, but a truly personal journey.

This timepiece also marks the 50th anniversary of the original film’s release with a spectacular movement, regulated by a tourbillon with an integrated musical function. The watch further shines with its radically fresh design featuring a sleek, curved 42mm x 44mm rectangular case. Inside, you get a flying tourbillon replacing the triple-axis tourbillon.

But here’s where the Godfather II truly stands out. For the first time in the world, a timepiece can play not one but two distinctive melodies – ‘The Godfather Love Theme’ and ‘The Godfather’s Waltz’, both originally composed by Nino Rota for Coppola’s masterpiece. The rarity of wristwatches that can create music is undeniable, and the ability to play two melodies is simply extraordinary, placing the timepiece amongst the limited few like the Opera III watch by Girard-Perregaux.
