History

Jacob & Co. was founded in 1986 by Jacob Arabo, an Uzbekistan-born jeweler who established himself on New York's Diamond District. The Five Time Zone watch in the early 2000s became a cultural phenomenon embraced by hip-hop, sports, and Hollywood. The Billionaire watch — million, 260 carats of emerald-cut diamonds — embodied the brand's "more is more" philosophy. Jacob & Co. occupies the unique niche where haute joaillerie meets haute horlogerie, with the Angel Cut introducing a proprietary diamond cut for maximum brilliance.
