Pre-Basel 2018: Jacob & Co. Gets Furious
One thing about Jacob Arabo, founder and head of Jacob & Co., is that he can never leave well enough alone. The Twin Turbo was introduced in 2016 and turned heads for its unique sporty look, while featuring twin tourbillons and a cathedral gong minute repeater.
This year, Jacob takes the Twin Turbo a step further with the “Furious” edition, which adds a mono-pusher chronograph, with reference time, to the mix with great effect.
Oh, yeah, the turning of the tourbillon cage has been sped up this year, from eight minutes to just 30 seconds. Now, the tourbillons do the following: they rotate on one axis in 24 seconds, in eight seconds on the second axis and in 30 seconds on the third.
In addition, the minute repeater is now a decimal minute repeater, chiming the hour, the ten minutes and the minutes on demand with two gongs.
I can’t wait to see the Twin Turbo Furious, and all the other great watches from Jacob, in person at Baselworld.
