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. 

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.

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).

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.

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

 

JACOB & CO. – HIGH COMPLICATION  "The World Is Yours" Dual Time Zone Gold Edition 2023

This is the story of the watch that started it all. The watch that opened the world and the world of watchmaking to Jacob Arabo."The World Is Yours" Dual Time Zone watch is a tribute to an Arabov family heirloom, inspired by a double time zone watch that Jacob Arabov received at the age of 13, from the hands of his father, Nison Arabov.

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO 

A timepiece so special in his eyes that it gave him the desire and the determination to one day create his own timepieces. It is the original spark that inspired every single Jacob & Co. timepiece. This watch is still in the family, waiting to be passed on to the next generation. While waiting, it became the inspiration for The World Is Yours Dual Time Zone.

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.

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

 The new chapter

There is always an intimate component in a Jacob & Co. creation. Design never comes out of the blue. It's rooted in a story, a desire, and for Jacob Arabov, that story always has something to do with passion. What he does, he does entirely. What he designs, he designs wholeheartedly. In that respect, The World Is Yours Dual Time Zone is the most authentic creation he ever undertook. It comes from the heart.

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO 

In a moving gesture of respect, gratitude, love and care, Jacob Arabo and Benjamin Arabov decided that this new collection would be named The World Is Yours, as a tribute to Mr. Nison Arabov, the man that gave them the True North in their life. A true north that is represented on The World Is Yours Dual Time Zone in the shape of a wind rose, serving as small seconds.

A family legacy

Two sub-dials caught between two engravings, one of Europe, the other of the Americas : the timepiece Jacob Arabov received had a two time zone complication. A dial that represents a map view of the world was a rare sight at the time, and not traditional at all. 

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO 

Especially not one depicting the West in the USSR. Picturing the West was a luxury afforded privately, secretly even in that time and place. Yet that's what the Arabov family did, and so they eventually managed to leave and reached the U.S.A.

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO  

Nison Arabov's gift to his son was a sign, a reminder that the world is an open possibility, that it can be reached and conquered. And so, as he received it, Jacob Arabov decided he would one day make watches, his own watches. In a way, this timepiece is the mother of all Jacob & Co. timepieces, or rather, their father.

Showing the way

The World Is Yours Dual Time Zone is the first timepiece from the new The World Is Yours collection. Because of its original inspiration, the first complication Jacob & Co. implemented is a double time zone with two sub-dials. It's sitting inside a 43-mm rose gold case where everything is curved. Its bezel is stepped, rounded and very thin in order to offer the largest dial possible. It's followed by a large, highly domed sapphire crystal. 

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO  

This is a necessary feature as the dial itself is curved, like the Earth it represents. The height difference between its lower and highest points is an astonishing 3.7 mm. As a result, the hands are also curved. The crown is short, integrated into the case outline, rounded, polished and discreet.

Grasping the Earth

The World Is Yours Dual Time Zone dial is a testament to Jacob & Co.'s sense of craft and detail. On either side of the Atlantic Ocean, three continents are represented. Northern, Central and Southern America to the west, Africa, Europe and the western most parts of Asia to the East, including the Arabian Peninsula.

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO 

Each landmass is stamped and rendered in a rose gold finish of exceptional relief. Mountains and depressions present a high level of detail and realism. They're given extra presence by the curvature of the dial. Overall, this dial gives the impression of seeing Earth from space. But the world is a globe. And The World Is Yours Dual Time Zone represents all of it. 

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO 

The caseback is full, also made of 18k rose gold, and engraved. This is where the rest of the world lies. From Europe to Japan, depicting all of Africa and Asia. Against the skin. Hidden from view from everyone, except the wearer.

Crafting the world

The dial is a highly domed brass plate. The continents' outlines are carved with a high precision laser. Their surface is stamped using a purpose-built, high-accuracy mold. All three sub-dials are carved into the dial plate. The entire piece then undergoes a galvanic treatment covering it in rose gold.

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO 

The oceans and seas are lacquered blue, an operation so delicate it's entirely made by hand. Lastly, Roman and Arabic numerals and the minute tracks are gold-stamped into place on top of the blue lacquer. And with that final touch, The World Is Yours Dual Time Zone becomes a profound technical, aesthetic and emotional creation.

Powering the orbit

The World Is Yours Dual Time Zone is powered by a brand new Jacob & Co. exclusive caliber. It indicates two time zones, complete with hours and minutes, vertically aligned on either side of a small seconds. Each time zone can be set at will using the crown, down to the minute. This feature is very rare, but completely indispensable in Jacob & Co.'s view. It is the only way countries with an unusual UTC time offset can display both their local time and another one.

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO 

Such is the case of India and its 1.3 bn inhabitants. Indian Standard Time is UTC + 05:30 on the entire sub-continent. Its small seconds hand is a rose wind with four main arms, one of which is painted red to act as a pointer. It symbolizes the compass one needs to navigate the world. 

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO 

It is the one that helps us find our bearings, like the moral compass provided by M. Nison Arabov. Logically, it sits in the center, at the highest point of the domed dial.
