II

The tourbillon

Abraham-Louis Breguet patented the tourbillon in 1801. The escapement and balance turn in a small cage, usually once a minute, so the pull of gravity in each position is averaged out instead of always acting in one direction. Today it is as much a display of hand finishing as a matter of precision: the cage is visible through the dial.

III

The chronograph

A chronograph is a stopwatch built into the watch. On most models one pusher starts and stops it and another sets it back to zero, while the time of day runs on regardless. The counters on the dial add up the elapsed minutes and, on many models, the hours.

IV · The manufacture

Jacob & Co since 1986

Jacob Arabo founded Jacob & Co in New York in 1986, initially making jewellery. The colourful quartz Five Time Zone collection brought watches into the business in 2002. A Geneva headquarters and watchmaking workshop opened in 2012. The 2013 Epic SF24 displayed a second time zone on airport-style split flaps. Astronomia arrived in 2014 with a moving mechanical sculpture under a sapphire dome. The 2019 Opera Godfather combined musical mechanics with a multi-axis tourbillon. The business remains a family company, with the founder and his son Benjamin shaping its direction. Its Swiss watchmaking draws on specialist partners including Concepto and Atelier 7h38 for complex movements.

V · Ownership

Wearing and caring

  1. 1

    A hand-wound watch is wound with the crown, ideally at the same time every day, until you feel resistance. Never force it past that point.

  2. 2

    Water resistance of 100 m and more is for swimming. Keep the crown screwed or pushed in, and do not use the pushers under water.

  3. 3

    Have the movement serviced every few years by the brand's own service or an authorised watchmaker.
