Jacob & Co. Presents A New Pièce Unique: Introducing The Skull Double Tourbillon

Jacob & Co. has just debuted its latest masterpiece—the Skull Double Tourbillon. Limited to just 18 pieces, the Skull Double Tourbillon is a profound tribute to immortality, blending cutting-edge mechanical precision with a daring, philosophical design that reflects humanity’s eternal connection with death.

Founder Jacob Arabo has always been recognized for his disruptive vision in the watchmaking world, creating pieces that transcend conventional norms. The Skull Double Tourbillon is no exception, embodying Jacob & Co’s signature style of merging high-precision engineering with an aesthetic that breaks traditional design barriers. With this piece, the Maison continues to explore new horizons, presenting a watch that challenges watchmaking conventions and transforms the act of timekeeping into a deeper reflection on life and legacy.

The centerpiece of the Skull Double Tourbillon is, of course, its design—a bold rose gold skull set against a deep onyx dial. The skull, an ancient symbol of life’s duality, is a beacon of rebellion, immortality, and exclusivity. It is more than just a decorative element; it embodies the essence of life’s continuity, reminding wearers that time is fleeting yet precious. The skull’s presence on the dial transforms it into a symbol of strength and a reminder of the legacy one leaves behind.

Every element of this timepiece is crafted with meticulous attention to detail, paying homage to both the technical mastery and philosophical depth of watchmaking. The movement’s constant motion symbolizes the uninterrupted flow of time, while the overall design invites a reflection on mortality and life’s ephemeral nature. The double tourbillon mechanism adds a layer of complexity, enhancing the watch’s precision and serving as a metaphor for life’s intricate balance between the fleeting and the eternal.

Housed in a 46 mm rose gold case, the Skull Double Tourbillon features a manual movement with a 48-hour power reserve. The watch’s heartbeat, driven by its intricate gears, represents the relentless passage of time, transforming each tick into a celebration of life. The case back reveals a sculpted skull, further reinforcing the watch’s deep symbolism and Jacob & Co’s fearless approach to design.
