Although it made its name through bold creations worn by fashion and stage celebrities, the Jacob & Co brand has recently demonstrated that it could also create surprises in the classical department. The new Palatial line is a good example and particularly with regards to the Palatial Automatic model with its lean proportions, perfectly suited to the needs of fans of tradition in search of a touch of modernity and originality. This watch with its current look is equipped with a high-precision movement developed for Jacob & Co by Jura-based company, Swiss Timeless Manufacture. It displays hours and minutes with sword-shaped hands and hour-markers on three versions of the spiral-built dial. The round case is personalised by the swept or receding design of its lugs and crown-guard. One may also opt for a diamond-set bezel in the more spectacular version. The movement, which can be seen through the sapphire crystal back, features a circular, grained decoration and is adorned with the Côtes de Genève motif.
