Jacob & Co. is among the most prestigious traditional creators of timepieces in New York City. The company's watches are indeed popular with collectors — Jacob & Co. is noted for multicolored-gemstone designs, oversized complications, and its unusual take on forms and features, such as watch faces with complex, asymmetrical shapes and bezels accented with bold color schemes.
Jacob & Co. was founded by designer Jacob Arabo. Arabo immigrated to the United States from Soviet Uzbekistan as a teenager. He later graduated from a New York jewelry design school in 1981.
In 1986, he opened Jacob & Co. on the one-block stretch of 47th Street in Manhattan known as the Diamond District. From the beginning, he focused on opulent jewelry instead of more conventional items, like rings and simple necklaces. Arabo’s risk paid off, and demand for his products grew, including among pop and hip-hop artists like Jay-Z and 50 Cent.
In 2004, Jacob & Co. moved its operations to 57th Street, joining such renowned neighbors as Swiss watchmaker Audemars Piguet and Italian jewelry house Bulgari. The company soon shifted its focus to high-end watches and opened a facility in Switzerland dedicated to watchmaking. Arabo applied the same visionary sensibilities to timepieces that he had brought to his jewelry, with each creation merging function with sculptural form.
Over the next two decades, Jacob & Co. engaged in several major collaborations, including with Paramount Studios in 2019 and NBCUniversal in 2020. In 2021, Jacob & Co. became the first top-tier watchmaking brand to accept cryptocurrency and to offer NFTs.
Jacob & Co. continues to produce lavish, elite timepieces. Its clients include Naomi Campbell and David Beckham, who have acted as brand ambassadors.

Jacob & Co. is considered expensive for a few reasons. For one thing, the watch collectors of the world know the watchmaker for its multicolored-gemstone designs as well as its oversized and innovative complications. There are substantial costs related to the design, assembly and premium materials associated with Jacob & Co.’s luxury watches, which are painstakingly crafted in Switzerland and sold all over the world. The price tag reflects the brand’s use of meticulously sourced round brilliant cut diamonds and metals such as 18-karat gold. Additionally, only a limited number of timepieces leave the watchmaker's workshops each year, so demand usually far exceeds supply. Find Jacob & Co. watches for sale on 1stDibs.
