To endeavor to think about the brand name Jacob and Co. means to endeavor also to think of the genius behind the mere world recognized and world class brand name and merchandise. The genius was formerly just a boy, who had a pure talent and knack for unique creations. Jacob and Co., the world renowned source of watches and other luxury merchandise, was started by Jacob Arabo, one of the few unique examples of what pure, inborn talent can do with the right place, the right time, and the right level of capitalization on creativity and market need.

At the young age of sixteen, Jacob Arabo had left his homeland of Russia to enroll at a jewelry course; but because of his inborn talent and creativity, a kindred soul in the form of an instructor had told him that the course had little to give him, if at all. And that is how the history of the company truly started; he was given the freedom to create at such a young age, because his talent for crafting had stood out from the crowd. Soon, the young man, often known by his name, Jacob, was soon wowing patrons of the Diamond District in the modern city of New York at that time. At such a young age, he was able to also stand out from the rest because of his exciting, innovative and fresh designs.

In the year 1986, Jacob and Co. finally came into being, because Jacob Arabo was able to finally establish his own footing in the market, the craft, and the industry itself. Jacob and Co. was well known throughout the industry as an innovator and a re-interpreter of what was held to be the fine classics. The word perhaps is “fresh” and Jacob and Co. continually provided the world with the same, never tiring of rehashing and reinventing its products.

Soon, word spread that a company by the name of Jacob and Co. had interesting new ideas and designs. The music industry of the United States of America soon grew to love Jacob and Co., and well known icons throughout the world soon began to seek these fresh designs to liven up and flavor their own identities as musical individuals. Individuals like Whitney Houston and Sir Elton John wore Jacob and Co.

Who else wore Jacob and Co.? Many, many, almost too many to mention here. But rest assured that the likes also of Justin Timberlake also wore Jacob and Co. This fact alone assures that the discerning watch connoisseur would be inheriting not only quality and design, but a rich and wonderful tradition that could only come from a name like Jacob and Co. Perhaps one of the most well known series of watches from Jacob and Co. is the Five Time Zone, which features to the world colors and textures that no one had dared integrated into luxury and practical time pieces.
