You can now discover the extravagant creations of Jacob the Jeweller up close in this dedicated space at Takashimaya S.C..

New York-based watchmaker <a href="https://www.lofficielsingapore.com/jewellery/check-out-the-dazzling-creations-of-jacob-co-at-sincere-fine-watches" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jacob &amp; Co.</a> continues to expand its presence in Singapore with the opening of a standalone boutique at <a href="https://www.hommessingapore.com/style/louis-vuitton-unveils-expanded-mens-store-takashimaya-shopping-centre-pharrell-williams-fashion-menswear" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Takashimaya Shopping Centre</a>, in partnership with Sincere Fine Watches. Located beside the retailer&rsquo;s own newly refurbished store, the dedicated space gives the extravagant creations of founder Jacob Arabo the stage they deserve &mdash; a place where these visual masterpieces can be appreciated up close.
Arabo originally made a name for himself as a jeweller to the stars, earning the moniker &ldquo;Jacob the Jeweller&rdquo;. His first foray into watchmaking came in 2002 with the colourful, jetset-ready Five Time Zone watch. But it wasn&rsquo;t long before he traded fashionable timepieces for serious complications, inventing wild and technically audacious machines like the Epic X Skeleton and various flying tourbillon baguette models. Arabo&rsquo;s radical watchmaking creativity quickly caught the attention of Sincere Fine Watches, who recognised in Jacob &amp; Co. a brand with both spectacle and substance, leading to a partnership that established the Maison's foothold in the region, starting with a showcase at the SHH (Sincere Haute Horlogerie) specialist boutique at The Shoppes at Marina Bay Sands.

To understand the fantastic appeal of Jacob &amp; Co., one only needs to look at the company it keeps. Among its admirers are hiphop icons, sports legends, and even K-pop superstars like BigBang&rsquo;s <a href="https://www.hommessingapore.com/style/g-dragon-fashion-big-bang-trendsetter-grandma-core-menswear-chanel-power" target="_blank" rel="noopener">G-Dragon</a> and Got7&rsquo;s BamBam &mdash; global figures celebrated for their unapologetic, maximalist style. G-Dragon&rsquo;s relationship with the Maison has even produced the Astronomia Solar G-Dragon timepiece and a series of limited edition PEACEMINUSONE pendants, dazzling creations that perfectly encapsulate the brand&rsquo;s avant-garde spirit.

That same creative brilliance now extends to the new boutique design, with star motifs on the ceiling and diamond-quilted wall panels lending an air of opulence to the shining space. Collections are displayed as objets d&rsquo;art, including the debut of Jacob &amp; Co. jewellery in Singapore, with a sculptural showcase tower serving as a focal point against the radiant backdrop.

While Jacob &amp; Co. is best known for their bling, the Maison also commands serious technical muscle. The Epic X Skeleton is a fine example of their horological engineering, pushing the sporty chic aesthetic to the extreme with a signature &lsquo;X&rsquo; motif that runs from the lugs directly onto the movement&rsquo;s architecture. The twin vertical bridges not only connect the &lsquo;X&rsquo; design, they also anchor the openworked calibre and frame the airy transparency of the dial. The titanium timepiece remains perfectly legible despite being a technical and visual dynamo, making it a quintessential sports luxury timepiece for everyday wear.

Bugatti Tourbillon watch

For something even more high octane, check out the extraordinary Bugatti Tourbillon wristwatch. Based on the hyper sports car of the same name, this horological tour de force incorporates automotive codes such as the body profile, front grille, and large sapphire side windows into its design. Mechanically, it possesses a 30-second flying tourbillon (Jacob &amp; Co.&rsquo;s fastest), a thrilling sapphire engine block automaton that mimics actual internal combustion animation, and jumping retrograde hours and minutes. The Bugatti Tourbillon is an exhilarating luxury in a sleek and sexy package, packed to the gills with exclusive technical innovations.

Then there&rsquo;s The World Is Yours Dual Time Zone MAD Paris, which is equally compelling but in a different way. Based on the vintage timepiece that first sparked Arabo&rsquo;s fascination with watchmaking, this model in black DLC steel represents a nighttime view of the world in collaboration with the bespoke specialists at MAD Paris. In the dark, the watch&rsquo;s all-black dial is illuminated by hundreds of Super-LumiNova dots scattered across the world map like a constellation of city lights, providing a breathtaking view right on your wrist. The two time subdials can also be set independently to display virtually any time zone, including those with non-standard offsets, making the watch a tribute to truly intrepid travellers.
These rare timepieces underscore why Jacob &amp; Co. is so irresistible to collectors: they ignite the imagination with their mechanical daring and visual extravagance, without ever sacrificing performance. And in a world where true originality is a rarity, that makes Jacob &amp; Co. one of the most coveted names in modern watchmaking. If you&rsquo;re ever in the mood for inspiration or want to enjoy some horological eye candy, simply drop by the Jacob &amp; Co. boutique by Sincere Fine Watches on Level 2 of Takashimaya S.C. to check out these sensational creations.
