A Feat of Time
Originally founded in 1986 in New York, Jacob & Co this year celebrates its 30 years. To mark this new decade of innovation and audacity, the house is launching a sports Grande Complication model keeping with its expertise and the youthful vigor of this thirty-year-old company.
Technical Prowess
A world premiere, the Twin Turbo combines two triple-axis tourbillons and a minute repeater. Through a poising system, these tourbillons maintain a consistent rate set at 40 seconds, 3 minutes and 4 minutes per cycle so as to turn symmetrically and at the same pace.

With a deep-sounding chime, the minute repeater with a cathedral gong o ers a modern approach to striking the hour, the 10 minutes instead of the traditional 15 minutes, and the minutes. A safety system prevents its striking during time setting.

Sporty Design
Something rare for a grand complication, the two tourbillons and minute repeater are housed into a shaped watchcase equipped with 63 components. Its sporty look combines titanium and carbon that provide ultra lightness. Inspired by automotive design, its ange is trimmed in red neoralithe and the smoked sapphire crystal opens on to its impressive motor featuring two triple-axis tourbillons. The transparent case back reveals an abstract architecture of triangles in openwork metal. A symbol of stability, spirituality and determination, this motif, dear to the founder Jacob Arabo, is now an icon of the house of Jacob & Co.
