From the typically outrageous Jacob & Co comes the classical-looking Jean Bugatti watch that is a first in several ways. Three years in the making, the 46mm timepiece houses the JCFM09 caliber with two one-minute flying tourbillons and a revolutionary high-frequency, double-retrograde chronograph with split hands and digital jumping counters. The dial is meant to recall the appearance of the 1930s Type 57 SC Atlantic Bugatti roadster grill. Time is displayed on the periphery of the dial using two short red hands. It's crafted in 18-karat white gold, and just 57 pieces will be made.

Jacob Arbo, founder of Jacob & Co, emigrated to the USA in search of a better life but instead ended up making life better for multitudes of people through the creation of reliable and riveting timepieces. After his father gifted Jacob his first watch aged 13, Jacob did not just admire its mechanism and prize it but sought to instill the same happiness that he received from this gift onto others. The result are watches that are filled with ambition, passion and love that live up to Swiss standards of high jewelry making.After three years in the making, Jacob & Co launched the Jean Bugatti in 2022.
