JACOB & CO. – HIGH COMPLICATION "The World Is Yours" Dual Time Zone MAD Paris Black Edition 2025
The World Is Yours is the occasion for Jacob & Co. to welcome partners from around the world. Just like Jacob Arabo's father gave him a key to the world when he gifted him the watch that inspired the collection, Jacob Arabo now opens The World Is Yours to MAD Paris. Working between Paris and London, they made a name for themselves by customizing timepieces for end clients.
MAD Paris has a unique take on black watches and on twisting the codes of the material they work with. The World Is Yours Dual Time Zone MAD Paris is lit, from within. It represents the night time aspect of the collection, which complements the day-time dials.
Design inspiration
The World Is Yours Dual Time Zone MAD Paris is a tribute to the watch that started it all. The watch that opened the world of watchmaking to Jacob Arabo. It's inspired by a vintage timepiece that's an Arabov family heirloom : a double time zone watch that Jacob Arabo received at the age of 13, from the hands of his father, Nison Arabov.
This black DLC steel version of The World Is Yours Dual Time Zone is the first model to be crafted in partnership with MAD Paris. If The World Is Yours Dual Time Zone represents the world from above by daytime, this is its night time counterpart.
Not only is it dark, with a black case, black dial and black continent, but it glows in the dark.
When the lights are off, the luminescence of The World Is Yours Dual Time Zone MAD Paris appears. The world map is filled with hundreds of Individually applied city lights.

The development process
The World Is Yours Dual Time Zone MAD Paris takes after the original Wakmann double time zone Jacob Arabo received from his father. Like its inspiration, it features a double, independent timezone. It's powered by self-winding caliber JCAA11, which allows both sub-dials to be set separately.
Each one shows a different hour and a different minute, allowing to keep up with any timezone, especially the ones with a 15, 30 or 45 minute offset. The most important of them is India's single timezone, set at UTC + 5:30.
The complications and features
The original timepiece Jacob Arabo received was a practical watch with an original design.
The World Is Yours Dual Time Zone MAD Paris perpetuates its dial and its complication, with an exclusive self-winding caliber and a unique night presence.
Two independent time zones
The World Is Yours Dual Time Zone MAD Paris indicates two time zones, complete with hours and minutes. Each one zone can be set down to the minute. It is the only way countries with unusual UTC time offsets, like India, can display both local time and home time accurately.
The crown located on the right side of the case has three positions. Winding, time setting for the lower time zone, time setting for the upper time zone. It's up to the wearer to choose which one is local time.
The night view
The dial of The World Is Yours Dual Time Zone MAD Paris is painstakingly hand crafted. The black titanium continents base is stamped, engraved and then filled with hundreds of SuperLumiNova dots.
City lights, like the ones visible from an aircraft at night, appear when the lights are off. Both sub-dials emerge, with all their indications perfectly lit and readable.
The domed, 3D dial
The World Is Yours Dual Time Zone MAD Paris houses a fine craft dial.
Made of titanium, its surface is widely curved, requiring the hands to be tilted at a 12° angle. It's stamped with a sky view of the western hemisphere at night.
The engraved caseback
The World Is Yours' dial only represents half the world. Its caseback offers a wider, more general view.
A large and detailed engraving on the smooth surface shows all of Asia, with a MAD Paris engraving in the middle of the Indian Ocean.
