Jacob Arabo, visionary and founder of one of the most prestigious brands in the world of luxury watches, began his career at a young age working with his father in the jewelry industry. He quickly recognized the opportunity to merge the world of fine watchmaking with the art of jewelry design, leading him to create a company that is now renowned worldwide.
The Jacob & Co. Astronomia Dragon collection is a perfect example of this unique combination of exceptional design and intricate mechanical complexity.
One of the most impressive models, the Astronomia Clarity Art White Dragon, features a unique version of Jacob & Co.’s iconic dragon. The sculpture is crafted from solid rose gold, hand-finished, polished, and painted. It consists of three parts to fit perfectly inside the Astronomia Clarity case and around the complex, three-dimensional Astronomia movement.
The Jacob & Co. Astronomia White Dragon with Gold is another outstanding example of artistry and engineering. The dragon is made of gold and coated with white enamel, with sections of the golden surface visible through the enamel. A key feature of this model is that the entire movement can be viewed from both the front and back, thanks to sapphire crystals. The yellow sphere, a 3-carat diamond cut in the signature Jacob style, further enhances the watch’s value. Priced at $1.3 million, this one-of-a-kind piece will never be reproduced due to the rarity of the diamond used.
