About the original
Jacob & Co. was founded in 1986 in New York by Jacob Arabo, who built a clientele in hip-hop and professional sports before launching his own watch line. The Five Time Zone watch displays New York, Paris, Tokyo, Los Angeles, and Moscow on a single stainless-steel case with five independent dials — a layout Arabo introduced in the early 2000s and which became a Jacob & Co. signature. The FW2020 Supreme collab released in two case sizes: 40mm with a white guilloché dial, red alligator strap, and a bezel set with 52 diamonds totaling roughly 2.08 carats, and 47mm on a stainless bracelet. Both carry Supreme and Jacob & Co. logos on the dial. Released October 8, 2020 at $12,000 and $14,000.
About Jacob & Co.
Jacob & Co. is an American jewelry and watch house founded in 1986 by Jacob Arabo in New York City. Born in Uzbekistan and trained as a jewelry designer in Manhattan's diamond district, Arabo built the brand around pavé-set, multi-time-zone watches that became fixtures of late-1990s and 2000s hip-hop; his Five Time Zone watch was worn by Jay-Z, Notorious B.I.G., and Kanye West. The company has since moved into high complications, including the Astronomia tourbillon and the Billionaire watch. Jacob & Co. operates flagship salons in New York, Dubai, and Geneva. Supreme's Jacob & Co. collaboration produced a branded Five Time Zone watch.
