Jacob & Co.
You've probably all heard of Jacob & Co, but do you really know the brand, its history and its flagship models? Jacob & Co. Astronomia Dragon
Behind a brand is an entrepreneur: Jacob Arabo.
Jacob Arabo, real name Yakov Arabov, was born in Uzbekistan in 1964. He was 15 when his family moved to the United States in 1979 after the fall of the Soviet Iron Curtain. From a young age, he discovered a passion for jewellery and home timepieces. The fascination began when his father gave him a World Time watch, and Jacob & Co's first watch pays homage to it. So naturally, after leaving school at 16, he took a 6-month jewelry course. From the age of 17, he began designing his own jewelry in his New York boutique, which he sold at the Kaplan Jewelry Exchange in the heart of Manhattan's "Diamond Quarter." At the age of 21, he officially started his own company, then called "Diamond Quasar", which became Jacob&Co 18 years later. His creations quickly caught the attention of celebrities like Jay-Z in the rap and pop worlds (that's all), and his clientele exploded in the '90s, just like we do now under the name "Jacobs the Jeweler" As infamous as the one shown”. It wasn’t until 2002 that Jacob Arabo started designing and manufacturing watches, which, depending on the finished product, could sell for a million euros. These prices are especially explained by Arabo’s favorite material: platinum and diamonds. He quickly became the face of bling-bling in watchmaking, as he flaunted the hip-hop culture with his showpieces. He inspired the likes of Kanye West, Beyoncé, 50 Cent or Jay-Z. luxury watches for sale
But beyond the jewels and bling-bling watches displayed by American rappers and hip-hop stars, Arabo has also created watches that are not more sober, but bolder, imaginative and reveal the businessman's never-ending creative imagination . Some of his watches are scenes, paintings, plays, all in one spectacular work. But for Jacob Arabo, the road to watchmaking is more difficult than jewelry. Despised by the Swiss watchmaker, he decided not to use an automatic mechanism in his first watch (quartz). This watch is "five time zones" and it looks very simple (aesthetically) compared to its future sister. Let's take a look back at the history of the watch brand whose most prestigious clients include Mohammed bin Salman (now Prince of Saudi Arabia), Justin Timberlake, David Beckham, Elton John, Karl Lagerfeld and more...
