As product innovation has always been the hallmark of Jacob & Co., it was no surprise that Jacob Arabov would begin designing world-first movements within three years of his first timepiece introduction. The Five Time Zone Automatic, the first of the proprietary men’s complications, was developed to build on Jacob’s well-known five time zone characteristic.
In 2005, Jacob the Jeweler Arabov unveiled this new direction in watch-making by combining his signature time zone technology with an automatic movement. The resulting limited-edition timepiece is striking in its simplicity; the clean lines belie the master complication within this original, world-class movement.
The Five Time Zone Automatic’s enamel dial is painted and embossed with special guilloche, with accents on the circular time zone markers in each of four quadrants. Roman numerals appear at twelve and six o’clock, with a date indicator at three o’clock. Leaf shaped hands in steel with a gun color treatment move effortlessly about the dial.
This revolutionary 24-jewel movement is ETA A07.111 with a proprietary Jacob the Jeweler Arabov complication controlling the principal and additional four time zones, as well as date indicator. The exhibition case back reveals an automatic bridge and rotor with Jacob the Jeweler engraving and bi-color metal treatment.
This 1,800 piece limited edition is available with a 47.5mm case in stainless steel or 18K white, yellow and rose gold. The Five Time Zone Automatic is crafted, assembled and decorated by hand to the highest Jacob the Jeweler’s quality standards.
