As Jacob Arabo once remarked, “My clients were always traveling, and they loved that I put diamonds on bezels. They dressed in so many colors back then—they needed a watch that would go with their outfits.” Few creations embody the spirit of the early 2000s quite like Jacob & Co.’s Five Time Zone.
Designed with a central dial and four subsidiary dials displaying the times in New York, Los Angeles, Paris, and Tokyo, the model became an instant symbol of cosmopolitan style. Popularized by celebrities and sought after by those drawn to their world of luxury and travel, it stands today as a defining icon of its era.
This early example from 2000 is diamond set steel.
