 The Only Double Melody Musical Timepiece

Jacob & Co. doubles down on its massively popular Godfather-themed timepieces with the introduction of The Godfather II, a musical watch that plays two melodies from The Godfather score: “The Godfather’s Waltz” and “The Godfather Love Theme”.

 Housed in a new rectangular, curved case inspired by Art Deco, The Godfather II features enhanced sound projection and intensity. Its streamlined movement incorporates a flying tourbillon and dual power reserve indicators, combining musical complexity with high watchmaking.

The timepiece stands as an elaborate tribute to Founder Jacob Arabo’s favorite film, defined by a completely unique complication. The Godfather II is edited in a limited edition of 74 pieces, a reference to the movie’s 1974 release.

The two world famous compositions that were created by Nino Rota for director Francis Ford Coppola are central to The Godfather II’s identity. “The Godfather Love Theme” serves as the franchise’s main theme, while “The Godfather’s Waltz” is first heard during the original film’s wedding scene. Both are played via the integrated music box at the heart of The Godfather II timepiece.

“The Godfather Part II is one of those rare sequels as strong as the original,” says Jacob Arabo, Chairman and Founder of Jacob & Co. “We’ve put so much thought and creativity into this second opus that we believe it’s a worthy sequel.”

 Powered by the new JCAM62 caliber, the watch introduces a complication that is completely unique in today’s watchmaking landscape: a melody selector at 10 o’clock that allows the wearer to choose between two tunes.

Activated by a pusher at 8 o’clock, each melody plays for 15–20 seconds and can be repeated up to 10 times on a single wind. Both songs are programmed onto a single music box barrel, an advancement that enables a more compact case while still housing a one-minute flying tourbillon.

“I wanted The Godfather II timepiece to offer a different take on the musical timepiece concept” Jacob Arabo adds. “We designed a refined, 1930s-inspired case and spent three years developing a movement that could play two melodies while remaining wearable.”

Like a movie set

True to Jacob & Co.’s design language, The Godfather II is rich in cinematic references. The black lacquer dial evokes the film’s noir aesthetic, while engraved bullet holes on the caseback nod to its violence. The crown features spiral grooves reminiscent of a gun barrel, and Don Corleone’s rose motif is engraved along the case.

A finely detailed portrait of Marlon Brando as Don Corleone anchors the dial, alongside the franchise’s signature puppet strings rendered in three-dimensional applique.

 The 42 x 44 mm rose gold case marks a departure from the Opera Godfather, with its curved, ergonomic profile and Art Deco styling.. The caseback features a piano-shaped sapphire opening, revealing the music box comb inside. It's covered by a plate engraved with The Godfather Love Theme’s actual score.

A personal resonance

For Jacob Arabo, The Godfather holds deep personal meaning.

“When I came to the U.S. in 1979, I was 14 and didn’t speak the language,” he recalls. “It took me two years to afford a movie ticket. The Godfather was the first film I saw in a theater.”

That experience inspired a series of creations, from the Opera Godfather collection to The Godfather II. Each timepiece tells a dual story: that of the Corleone family, and Arabo’s own journey.

The film’s opening line - “I believe in America” - resonated deeply with Jacob Arabo as a young immigrant, shaping the emotional core of this collection.

The comb and cylinder

At the heart of caliber JCAM62 is an intricate music box system built around a comb and cylinder. The comb’s 18 steel teeth produce different notes depending on their length, while a pin-studded brass cylinder activates them in sequence.

A lateral shift of less than a millimeter, controlled by the melody selector, changes which pins engage the comb, allowing the watch to alternate between the two compositions.

Energy management

The Godfather II features two power reserve indicators. The main movement offers a 72-hour reserve, while a separate indicator tracks the energy available for the music box.

On a full wind, it can play up to 10 melodies, another improvement on the original Opera Godfather. As energy depletes, visual cues signal when rewinding is needed.

A Godfather’s legacy

The Godfather II builds on the legacy of the Opera Godfather, the original 49-mm musical timepiece developed under the licensing agreement with Paramount Pictures.

That model featured a triple-axis tourbillon and a movement that rotated when the music box was activated, setting the foundation for the collection.
