A Grander Return: Jacob & Co. Unveils Updated Palatial Flying Tourbillon Minute Repeater

Published: 07 Oct 2026
The world of haute horology rejoices as Jacob & Co. reintroduces the Palatial Flying Tourbillon Minute Repeater, a model renowned for its unique aesthetics, sound and technical prowess.

Jacob Arabo, the maverick founder of Jacob & Co., is noted for his unique convergence of aesthetics and technology in creating horological masterpieces. His expressively creative watches, like the Astronomias or the Bugattis, strike an intriguing chord, their bold 3D designs captivating and evoking a mesmerising sense of depth, motion and dimensionality. Each piece is akin to a kinetic universe of its own, tucked beautifully on your wrist.

Taking his penchant for grandeur a step further, Arabo introduced the sonic component to his extraordinary timepieces. Firmly establishing Jacob & Co. in the echelons of high horology in 2014, the Palatial Flying Tourbillon Minute Repeater was a game-changer. This tourbillon marvel was far more than visually hypnotic; it nudged at auditory sensations, offering a wrist-based party with its chiming saga.

Latest additions such as Opera Godfather Minute Repeater, Godfather II and the complex Twin Turbo and Twin Turbo Furious series combine features like a triple-axis tourbillon, a musical mechanism, monopusher chronograph, power reserve indicator and decimal minute repeater with cathedral gongs. These timepieces not only elevate visual aesthetics but also indulge the ears with the resonant and melodious representation of time.
