Designer
Gérald Genta
Gérald Genta (1931–2011) trained as a goldsmith in Geneva and became the most influential watch designer of the 20th century. Working freelance, he sketched the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak overnight in 1970, followed by the Patek Philippe Nautilus, the IWC Ingenieur SL and the Bulgari Bulgari — defining the integrated-bracelet luxury sports watch as a category.
Historical significance
Jacob & Co. Twin Turbo Furious 44 mm Mother-of-pearl Carbon sits within Jacob & Co.'s Twin Turbo Furious line, introduced in 1986. It carries the house codes established since 1986 — carbon tpt case, mother-of-pearl dial and in-house automatic with 22k gold rotor — and is one of the references collectors use to date the evolution of the collection.
Interesting facts
- Early production dials show a slightly different minute track, and collectors pay a premium for them.
- The bracelet tapers across its length, which is why the profile looks thinner on the wrist than the specification suggests.
- The movement's bridges are decorated even where they will never be seen once the watch is cased.

Brand history

From the earliest workshop pieces to today's Astronomia, the house has balanced technical ambition with a recognisable design language, and its collections remain among the most closely followed by collectors worldwide.
Jacob Arabo established Jacob & Co. in 1986, working from United States at a time when precision was measured by hand. The founder's obsession with finishing and accuracy still defines every Jacob & Co. calibre produced today.
