The Jacob & Co. Grand Collection mingles the exuberant spirit of the iconic Five Timezones watch with the intoxicating atmosphere of freedom in watches that express all the glamour and luxury of the Jet Age in a decidedly contemporary flavour.

Jacob & Co - Grand 4 - GR4-17

The Grand Collection is like the original Five Timezones watch in displaying the local time, as well as the time in four reference cities around the globe, each one of which is a global hub for both 24 hour commerce and a cultural life that never sleeps, but unlike the earlier but always classic Five Timezones watch, it shows the local time on a dial of the same dimensions as the other time­zones, allowing the overall shape of the watch to be expressed in the shape of a pentagon, a most unusual and distinctive choice which has only very seldom been used in the entire history of wristwatch design.

To accentuate the bold and unusual pentagonal profile of the Jacob & Co. Grand Collection shows the adventurous spirit of the 1960s when air travel was such a special luxury that the term “jet setter” was coined to describe those privileged few who enjoyed its miraculous speed and glamour.

Distinctive, aerodynamically styled bezel elements further accentuate the link between the Grand timepieces and the on-the-go world of interna­tional jet travel, as well as creating a dramatic visible link to the design world of the early jet travel era.

Luxurious and high tech finishes combine, such as 18 carat rose gold, stainless steel, and stainless steel finished in dramatic black PVD.

One of the most striking models is the Grand 5, which features a full black PVD treatment.

Jacob and Co chose watch designer Jacques Fournier of Horology Design Limited to create the G5 series including the Grand, Galega, Ghost and Global collections. As can be seen Jacques has a unique and distinctive style providing renowned watch brands worldwide with groundbreaking creations.

All Jacob & Co. Grand timepieces are powered by Swiss precision quartz movements, and are offered on natural black rubber straps with folding clasps.

J&Co Watches - Ghost GT3

The stars come out at night, and nowhere more so than in the world of Jacob & Co., a name synonymous with the nocturnal world of glamour, intrigue, and international excitement.

One of the most daring new intro­ductions from Jacob & Co. the Ghost Collection lives up to its name by appearing mysteriously out of the darkness to thrill and excite wearer and viewer alike.

The timepieces of the Jacob & Co. Ghost collection show the day and date in five different time zones “on demand” –with the press of a button, the digital displays are illumi­nated in a stunning burst of light and colour. The pentagonal Ghost case, a homage to the iconic Jacob & Co. 5 Timezones watch, offers a profile as exotic as the illuminated time displays themselves, and the Ghost cases and bezels with a variety of both cutting edge modern materials and traditional tokens of luxury.

To enjoy the splendid fireworks of the Ghost timepiece, there are a variety of choices, pressing each of the crowns individually illuminates a single time display, while a longer press of the crown located at the upper right corner of the pentagon will illuminate all displays, which are able to display 32 colours including bril­liant red, blue or yellow. The date alone can be displayed for each time zone at will as well, and nat­urally, the Jacob & Co. logo at the center of the watch glows whenever the time display is activated.

Like the supernatural creature of the night from which it takes its name, the Ghost can change personality as well. Each Ghost timepiece features an interchangeable bezel, which is available in black PVD, carbon fibre, stainless steel, or 18 carat rose gold, with white or black diamond set bezels available.

Ever chang­ing, and always dramatic and unexpected, the Ghost timepieces from Jacob & Co. are glamorous creatures of the night.
