THE WORLD IS YOURS DUAL TIME ZONE

Design Inspiration

The World Is Yours Dual Time Zone is a tribute to the watch that started it all. The watch that opened the world of watchmaking to Jacob Arabo. It's inspired by a vintage timepiece that's an Arabov family heirloom : a double time zone watch that Jacob Arabo received at the age of 13, from the hands of his father, Nison Arabov.

There is always an intimate component in a Jacob & Co. creation. For Jacob Arabo, design is rooted in passion. What he does, he does wholeheartedly. The World Is Yours Dual Time Zone is the most authentic creation he ever undertook. It comes from the heart.

The Development Process

The World Is Yours Dual Time Zone takes after the original Wakmann double time zone Jacob Arabo received from his father. Like its inspiration, it features a double, independent timezone. It's powered by self-winding caliber JCAA11, which allows both sub-dials to be set separately.

Each one shows a different hour and a different minute, allowing to keep up with any timezones, including India's, set to UTC + 4:30.

The Complications & Features

The original timepiece Jacob Arabo received was a practical watch with an original design. The World Is Yours Dual Time Zone perpetuates its dial and its complication, updated to contemporary standards, with an exclusive self-winding caliber.

The Dome Design

The World Is Yours is inspired by the world and the way it looks. Its design emulates the shape of our planet. The case is rounded, the dial is an ample curve and the sapphire crystal that tops it all is an even wider curve. As a whole, The World Is Yours Dual Time Zone celebrates the third dimension of space.

Two Independent Time Zone

The World Is Yours Dual Time Zone indicates two time zones, complete with hours and minutes. Each zone can be set down to the minute. It is the only way countries with unusual UTC time offsets, like India, can display both local time and home time accurately. The crown, located on the right side of the case, has three positions. Winding, time setting for the lower time zone, time setting for the upper time zone. It's up to the wearer to choose which one is local time.

The Wind Rose Central Seconds

At the center of the domed dial lies a small seconds hand. It's shaped like a wind rose, a necessary compass in the middle of a world map. It belongs to both time zones. And it's a reminder of the importance of finding one's bearings in the world.

The 3D Dial

The World Is Yours houses a fine craft dial. Its surface is widely curved, requiring the hands to be tilted at a 12° angle. It's stamped with a sky view of the western hemisphere. Seas are lacquered blue with highly detailed continents.

The Engraved Caseback

The World Is Yours' dial only represents half the world. Its caseback offers a wider, more general view. A large and detailed engraving on the smooth surface features the missing continents. Executed with an advanced laser technology, it completes the global representation.

The Lifestyle

The World Is Yours Dual Time Zone is a highly functional traveler's timepiece. Its domed dial, the level of detail on the continents, the glow of the lacquered blue dial make it an elegant, everyday watch. It is meant for watch lovers that embrace the world.
