Jacob & Co
Jacob & Co, often known as "Jacob And Company", is a privately held jewelry and wristwatch company created by diamond designer Jacob Arabo in 1986. Jacob Arabo began his watchmaking career at the age of 16 after being inspired by innovation and individuality. Jacob & Co, Arabo's own premium label, was created in 1986. Manhattan is home to the company's flagship boutique and corporate offices.
Arabo switched to watches after his success in the jewelry industry. He produced the Five Time Zone quartz watch series in 2002, which included vibrant primary colors and various time zone technologies that appealed to both men and women. It was inspired by his clients' jet-setting lifestyle and became a fashion statement as well as a functional clock for travelers. The watch was worn by famous superstars such as Naomi Campbell, Bono, Angela Bassett, and Derek Jeter. Fast forward to now, and the cutting-edge Billionaire watch boasts 260 carats of diamonds, while the dazzling ASHOKA features a white gold band and case adorned with diamonds.
