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 sub-dials feature a MAD Paris typeface, and the center small seconds look like a wheel, giving The World Is Yours Dual Time Zone MAD Paris its absolutely modern look.

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. 

Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO  

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.

Drawing inspiration from the shared story, the two visionaries came together to conceptualize a timepiece that would honor Khan’s own father, legendary Indian cinema writer Salim Khan.

JACOB & CO. – "The World Is Yours" Dual Time Zone Tourbillon Gold Edition

 

JACOB & CO.HIGH COMPLICATION  "The World Is Yours" Dual Time Zone Gold Edition 2025 

  The World Is Yours Dual Time Zone Tourbillon: 
Sitting on Top of the World

The first evolution of The World Is Yours Dual Time Zone adds a layer of horological excitement to a highly emotional timepiece. The curved dial of The World Is Yours collection welcomes a tourbillon as its pinnacle. Sitting at the highest point of a world map, it gives the 43-mm Dual Time Zone Tourbillon a new dimension.

Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO  

Launched in 👉 2023, The World Is Yours Dual Time Zone is a tribute to the first timepiece Jacob Arabo ever owned, a dual-time zone watch with a world map dial, gifted to him by his father at the age of 13. Beyond its inspirational design, this family heirloom was a message, one so powerful it gave the collection its name. It meant, “My son, the world is yours. Go and explore it.

Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO 

This timepiece's central tourbillon revolves at twice the pace of a normal tourbillon, once every 30 seconds. This improvement in acceleration is a testament to Jacob & Co.'s high watchmaking skill, applied throughout the brand's creations. The tourbillon carriage bridge is crafted from transparent sapphire, giving the illusion of floating, allowing the entire space to be occupied by another signature detail of the collection: the compass rose.

Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO   

It was only a matter of time before Jacob & Co. Founder and Chairman created a timepiece honoring his father and the gift he had given him. This timepiece commemorates young Jacob Arabo receiving his first watch from his father at age 13, coined “The Father of All Watches,” and honors the rise of Jacob & Co. since the brand’s first timepiece creation in 2002.

Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO  

The collection, titled The World Is Yours, housed the legendary complication that Jacob & Co. has made its ultimate specialty: the tourbillon. The World Is Yours Dual Time Zone Tourbillon is its heir and progeny, telling a story of legacy, identity, transformation, and horological excellence.

Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO  

Creation is a personal, emotional process for Jacob Arabo. And in this case, one that rings closest to the heart. So "The World Is Yours" Dual Time Zone is more than a two timezone watch, with independent hours and minutes. It's more than a piece of beautiful craft, with a great domed dial, featuring the Earth as seen from the sky. It's proof that a father's love is the key that unlocks the world.

 The three generations reunited: from left, Benjamin Arabov, Jacob Arabo, Nison Arabov.

Picture the scene. The place is Tashkent, Uzbekistan, then a Republic from the USSR, where the Arabov family originates from. In the room are Jacob Arabov, aged 13, and his father, Nison Arabov. Between them, an exchange takes place. From one hand to the other, a watch is being gifted and with it, intense emotion.

The original watch Jacob Arabov received at 13 years old.

Forty-five years later, these very same men, joined by their son and grandson Benjamin Arabov, pose together for a family portrait. Three generations united by a common legacy, with a very special timepiece as a common thread. A timepiece that represents the world as if saying “Go, my son! Go conquer it!

Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO  

Watches passed on from father to son carry unique importance. They are way more than a mere object: a symbol of what's really being transmitted: values, love, wisdom, blessings and not a little amount of pressure to succeed.

That specific timepiece bears the once-famous Wakmann brand name, and it would go on to inspire every Jacob & Co. watch ever made.

Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO  

Lineage The World Is Yours Dual Time Zone Tourbillon has the same 43 mm diameter as its predecessor. A case made of the same material: rose gold. A dial with the same theme and execution: a finely engraved, blued, and gilt titanium world map. 

Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO 

The same indications: two timezones, each one capable of being set completely independently to the exact minute. The same center: a compass rose that gives life and movement to the piece.

Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO  

The difference lies in the center and within. Underneath the compass rose sits the sapphire bridge of a 30-second double-pace tourbillon. Demanding extra height compared to the simpler caliber inside The World Is Yours Dual Time Zone, the all-new movement led to a change in the earth's curvature— that is, the miniature earth underneath the dial. More than ever, The World Is Yours Dual Time Zone Tourbillon is domed, as rounded as the planet it represents.

Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO 

Identity Inside The World Is Yours Dual Time Zone Tourbillon beats an entirely new movement, made specifically for it, bearing the reference JCAA45.

Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO  

For the first time in its history, Jacob & Co. chose an off-centered micro-rotor to wind the automatic movement. This special architecture limits the overall height, while its solid 950 platinum composition provides ample energy for optimal winding. The entire movement was designed to revolve around one single requirement: it had to sit in the middle of the movement. Usually located on its edge, this setup is extremely rare and presents a unique set of technical challenges that had to be overcome.

Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO 

Caliber JCAA45 provides the same indications as the original The World Is Yours Dual Time Zone. At 12 o'clock, a sub-dial with Roman numerals bears an hour and a minute hand. At 6 o'clock, its counterpart uses Arabic numerals. 

Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO  

Thanks to a three-position crown, each of these sub-dials can be made to show an entirely different time. None is the main, or local, or home time. It is entirely up to the wearer to decide which is which. The independence of the two time zones is especially useful for those with an unusual offset.

Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO  

For example, India, home to 1.2 billion people, is on UTC + 5h30. Keeping track of these 30 minutes is a task beyond 99% of GMT and world time watches. Not to mention more rare destinations such as Newfoundland (UTC-3h30), Nepal (UTC+5h45), or Australian Central Standard Time (UTC+9h30).

Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO  

Features Rounded, with a curvaceous flank and a recessed crown, the case of The World Is Yours Dual Time Zone Tourbillon measures 43 mm in diameter. Due to the shape of the movement beating inside, its profile is highly curved. It measures 10.4 mm at the edge and 18.1 mm in the center. Elegantly designed, these lines seem to emerge from the wrist and fit into a natural outline, especially as there is no bezel to speak of.

Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO  

The dial showcases Jacob & Co.'s sense of detail and refined execution. With the Atlantic Ocean in the center, three continents are represented. North, Central, and South Americas to the west, Africa, Europe, and Asia to the East, including the Arabian Peninsula.

The World in Detail

The dial is crafted from titanium, with a blank circle meticulously stamped to form its strikingly curved shape. The surface is then etched with a high-precision laser to create the very detailed and fine relief of the landmasses.

Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO  

The whole dial is then blued with a PVD technique. Another laser removes the blue parts on the continents, which are then treated with a 5N rose gold finish. The remaining regions of the world not shown on the dial are not forgotten, but printed in gold over blue sapphire glass on the caseback.
