I look forward to your Jacob incomings.



Didn’t Jacob start out blinging watches (ruining) with aftermarket customizations?

They may be appealing to someone’s artistic side but when considering a watch my lens is function before art.

in the years on this forum of watch collectors I cannot recall a single owner of a Jacob piece

Ps I also cannot find the sub forum, I’m sure Steve is just about to put one up.

Would a text book example of a gimmick be naming your watch the The “Bugatti” or “godfather”?
While I am not a Jacob and Co fan....the have come a long way from their original throw away watches. While for sure not for me, I can really appreciate the amount of craftsmanship that goes into them.
