JACOB & CO. copy announced a long-term partnership with Bugatti at Baselworld 2019. March 20, 2019 Molsheim/Basel: Jacob & Co. is pleased to announce a long-term partnership with Bugatti, the world’s most renowned manufacturer of high-performance sports cars, to launch a series of exclusive co-branded products. The partnership brings together two cutting-edge design giants, both passionate about pushing the limits of machinery. Stephan Winkelmann, President of Bugatti, and Jacob Arabo, founder of Jack & Bao, officially entered into a partnership at Baselworld 2019.
“For this project, we have found the right partner, because we are committed to the highest level of technology, absolute Aesthetics, craftsmanship and the highest quality materials enable innovation.”
Jakob Alebo, founder of Jackpot, also said: “When I see a Bugatti Chiron, its craftsmanship is so refined that it sometimes even feels like it looks like it’s moving even when it’s standing still. It’s the same feeling when wearing a fine watch from our brand: an urge, a feeling of energy, movement and momentum that is almost uncontrollable.”
The cooperation between the two parties began with the Twin Turbo Furious Bugatti Limited Edition watch, the masterpiece of high-end watchmaking masters. When the original Twin Turbo Furious collection was released at Baselworld 2018, it stunned the world with its stunning triple-axis double tourbillon, column-wheel chronograph and decimal minute repeater mechanism. The Twin Turbo Furious Series Bugatti Edition is inspired by high-performance sports cars. The dial is surrounded by turquoise to pay tribute to the 110th anniversary of the Bugatti Chiron. At the same time, the Bugatti logo is placed in the most prominent center position, and the power reserve indicator is renamed “Fuel (fuel)” and used the three colors of the French flag on the gauges. This watch is available in limited quantities, each with an individual number: carbon fiber, rose gold, diamond.
Both parties will also release the Bugatti 110th Anniversary Global Limited Sports copy Watch, commemorating the 110 years since Ettore Bugatti founded the Bugatti company in 1909. The most iconic technology of the Twin Turbo Furious series Bugatti Edition is the Jackpot JCAA05 skeletonized self-winding chronograph movement. This high-end chronograph movement is equipped with a column wheel to activate the chronograph functions. Its counters are arranged in the form of two sub-dials, the dial on the left at nine o’clock indicates the passage of time in seconds, and the dial on the right at three o’clock indicates the passage of time in minutes. The elapsed seconds are read by the central chronograph second hand in the red of the French flag.
This Bugatti watch uses a newly invented special forged carbon case and incorporates the colors of the French flag into its bold dial design that highlights Bugatti elements. The watch features a special rubber strap, inspired by the iconic Bugatti Chiron’s rear hood, and the iconic “EB” logo on the clasp to commemorate the partnership.
