Laurent's opinion
Jacob has created a deeply personal and perfectly designed piece. The two time zones are independent, instantly readable, and, above all, remarkably easy to set. Each hour and minute can be adjusted effortlessly, with a logic that is rare in complicated watches. A travel tool with the emotion of a family heirloom.

The World Is Yours Dual Time Zone Blue – The art of time in two time zones by Jacob & Co.

The Jacob & Co. The World Is Yours Dual Time Zone Blue is much more than just a watch: it is a personal statement, an iconic piece steeped in history and emotion. Designed as a tribute to the first watch that sparked Jacob Arabo’s passion for watchmaking—a dual time zone timepiece he inherited from his father at the age of 13—this creation draws on personal memories to offer a deeply poetic and technical view of the world.

An independent dual time zone watch, accurate to the minute

Equipped with the JCAA11 automatic caliber, this exceptional watch displays two completely independent time zones with separate hour and minute settings – a rarity in watchmaking. This unique feature allows atypical time differences, such as that of India (UTC +4:30), to be displayed accurately. A watch designed for discerning travelers who want to stay connected to the world without compromising on elegance.

Three-dimensional design: a global view of the world

The World Is Yours Dual Time Zone stands out with its domed case and three-dimensional dial, a veritable celestial map of the Western world. The curvature of the dial requires the hands to be tilted at a 12° angle, highlighting the technical sophistication of the design. The seas are covered with a deep blue lacquer, while the continents are finely engraved for a spectacular effect. The domed sapphire crystal completes this immersion in the geography of the globe.

Small seconds in the shape of a compass rose: a universal symbol

At the center of the dial, a small seconds hand in the shape of a compass rose reminds us that this watch is not only functional, but also an invitation to find your bearings and orient yourself in a world in perpetual motion.

A laser-engraved case back to complete the globe

While the dial represents the western hemisphere, the laser-engraved case back offers a view of the other half of the world, completing this poetic map. Every detail of the case back reflects the same precision craftsmanship as the rest of the timepiece.

An elegant watch designed for everyday explorers

With its 206 components, 42-hour power reserve, and refined aesthetics, the Jacob & Co. The World Is Yours Dual Time Zone Blue is a technical and sophisticated travel watch. Its sculptural appearance, useful complications, and personal connection to the history of Jacob Arabo make it a rare piece, intended for watch enthusiasts who want to wear the world on their wrist.
