Not sure I want a moon doll rotating on my wrist. Besides I can't imagine how thick some of his watch cases are.

Guess that will be Michael Blakey's next buy, believe he's a big fan of Jacob & Co.

Wow, very interesting.

Not a watch I would wear, but I love the creativity.

I've certainly seen some really ugly watches for that kind of money. These are quite interesting.

Actually I think a couple of them are pretty cool but as said and agree I would rather have a Patek Repeater.

If you already have the 90 metre yacht, any of these would be a fun item to wear whilst wandering around the deck.

If I shat gold bars I’d buy the roulette watch just to entertain myself on the crapper on my PJ

They are incredible works of engineering and art - obviously not a daily wearer but if you have the money and want a statement piece on your wrist these are super

I love what they're doing and look at it more as a work of art on your wrist. Here's something that goes to the next level in a direction for those who truly care about the creative mechanical arts in my opinion. I've considered custom Patek repeaters, even considered the music wheel watch by UN, and frankly those pale by comparison to these creations.

Beautiful wearable art that also tells time...very interesting styles. The Bugatti’s CC are also fantastic.

I would undoubtedly bump that oil derrick watch on the first door jam I passed by.

Jacob & Co has come a long way in a short amount of time. Remember their stupid 5 time zone watches from the early 2000s?



Now they’re making double tourbillons and partnering with Bugatti.

That 5 time zone is quartz too.
