Jacob Arabo — watch collection

About Jacob Arabo’s watch collection

Jacob Arabo is an American entrepreneur and founder of Jacob & Co, the New York-based luxury watch and jewellery brand established in the early 2000s. The company built its reputation on producing bespoke, mechanically complex timepieces and diamond-set jewellery for high-net-worth clientele. Arabo's venture became synonymous with extreme customisation and limited-edition releases, establishing him as a significant figure in the independent luxury watch market. In 2022, Colombian singer Maluma acquired a stake in Jacob & Co, though Arabo has remained connected to the brand's creative direction.

Arabo's personal taste in watches naturally centres on his own brand's catalogue. The Jacob Arabo watch collection reflects a preference for complicated movements and substantial use of precious metals and gemstones. He has been spotted wearing the Billionaire III Emeralds, a piece unique in 18K white gold set with Zambian emeralds valued at $5 million, and the Opera Godfather 50th Anniversary edition in white gold. His collection also includes the Astronomia Revolution (reference AT170.40.AB.AB.ABRUA), the Astronomia Tourbillon Arlequino in white gold with baguette sapphires, and the Bugatti Chiron Tourbillon variants featuring green and blue sapphire crystal cases.

Other notable pieces from the Jacob Arabo watch collection include the Mystery Twin Central Flying Tourbillons 50mm in white gold with diamond and sapphire baguettes, the Caviar Tourbillon Ruby in 18K rose gold with invisibly set baguette rubies, and the Rasputin Tourbillon in 18K white gold with baguette emeralds. Arabo has also been photographed wearing collaborative pieces such as the Jacob & Co x Supreme Five Time Zone stainless steel limited edition, the Twin Turbo Furious in rose gold with white diamonds and tsavorites, and the Astronomia Sky Celestial Panorama, limited to 18 pieces in rose gold. The Billionaire in 18K white gold with 260 carats of emerald-cut diamonds represents another significant entry in his personal collection.
