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.

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.”

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.

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.

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.

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!”

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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).

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.

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.

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.
