Having established a major presence in Dubai with a flagship boutique in the Dubai Mall and the launch of the Burj Binghatti Jacob & Co. Residences residential hypertower, Jacob & Co. recognizes the maturity, dynamic growth and overall importance of the region. As a beacon event in the watchmaking universe, Dubai Watch Week is a testament to said importance and a must-attend for the brand.
There is a connection, a spark even, that ignited between Dubai’s connoisseurs of high watchmaking and high jewelry and Jacob & Co.'s creativity. This bond is only growing stronger as Jacob & Co. expands into lifestyle luxury segments. The discerning public’s ability to recognize what truly stands out, to identify what surpasses expectations, and to value what embodies “Inspired by the Impossible” has established Dubai –and indeed the entire Arabian peninsula – as Jacob & Co.’s number one market.
CEO Benjamin Arabov will be in attendance and available for meetings upon request. Also on the booth will be the brand's artistic director and founder, Jacob Arabo. The father-and-son leadership team underscores the brand’s familial foundation, with Mr. Arabo, his wife Angela and their three sons – Benjamin, David, and Joey – holding key positions.
The concept of family legacy – of passing down values and the aspiration to continue a father’s heritage – was fundamental to the creation of ‘The World Is Yours Dual Time Zone’ timepiece. The watch was directly inspired by the one Jacob Arabo received from his father on his 13th birthday. It featured dual time zones and a dial depicting a world map, capturing young Jacob’s imagination and prompting him to explore the world and forge his own destiny.
This in turn inspired Benjamin Arabov, who is taking the brand into new territories and to new heights. In doing so, he is realizing Jacob Arabo’s creative and strategic vision, as evidenced by consistent double-digit revenue growth, record achievements in executing an innovative digital strategy, and strong engagement with younger, affluent and horologically sophisticated audiences.
The ability to consistently live up to the brand motto – “Inspired by the Impossible” – and deliver on its promise is a key ingredient of Jacob & Co.’s success. Time has shown that it rests in equal measure on the open dialogue between generations, the effective transmission of values, and the masterful execution of watchmaking expertise and craftsmanship.
