Renowned for redefining the boundaries of high watchmaking, Jacob & Co is now officially available at the SHH (Sincere Haute Horlogerie) boutique in Pavilion Kuala Lumpur.

To celebrate this momentous occasion, “The World Is Yours” exhibition was held at the mall recently to introduce the iconic watchmaking House to guests and give collectors a more in-depth look.

A true pillar of high horology, the exhibition showcased Jacob & Co’s 2025 novelties alongside its most iconic masterpieces, offering guests a compelling glimpse into the Maison’s distinctive universe.

A key highlight from the exhibition that immediately drew admiration from collectors was the groundbreaking Astronomia Revolution Four-Axis Tourbillon.

This 2025 novelty represents a world-first high complication, choreographing the tourbillon’s motion at three precise speeds: 60 seconds, 18 seconds and 15 seconds.

This avant-garde innovation brings the principles of astrophysics to life in horological form and was unveiled in celebration of the 10th anniversary of the Astronomia collection.

Complementing the exclusive showcase were notable masterpieces from the brand, including the Bugatti Chiron Tourbillon Baguette, Brilliant Baguette Rainbow, Caviar Tourbillon, Fleurs de Jardin, and Mystery Tourbillon – each exemplifying the brand’s unmatched mastery in horological excellence.

Each is an outstanding display of artistic brilliance, adorned with an array of gemstones that elevate the timekeeping function of these exceptional statement timepieces.

Each timepiece is a testament to the visionary spirit of founder Jacob Arabo, brought to life through exceptional craftsmanship and technical ingenuity.

High jewellery meets high horology

In 2019, Bugatti Automobiles and Jacob & Co entered into a partnership agreement, based on a shared focus on extreme luxury, mechanical performance and craft.

Both brands have been working hand in hand, at the highest level, to create unrivaled hypercar-inspired timepieces.

This shared mindset led to the creation of the Bugatti Chiron Tourbillon in 2020 and the Bugatti Tourbillon in 2024, exceptional timepieces inspired by extraordinary sports cars.

Today, Jacob & Co and Bugatti have taken their collaboration in a new direction with a new watchmaking format, an exquisite table clock crafted with French crystal maker Lalique.

The Bugatti Calandre is a combination of design and historic traits from all three brands, that took three years to complete.

The Bugatti Calandre is primarily designed by Jacob & Co, with the luxury brand translating a century of iconic design cues from Bugatti into an intricate timepiece.

Lalique crafted the crystal case that helped in translating this tribute to past generations of Bugatti’s artistry as well as the visionary future of the iconic automotive brand.

Jacob & Co timepieces are available in Malaysia exclusively at SHH Pavilion Kuala Lumpur.
