The Manhattan Watch By ‘Jacob The Jeweler’
 

You know him, you love him, and if you get a chance to do business with him, you know you have finally made it into the rich and famous club.  We are talking about ‘Jacob the Jeweler’.

Rappers and musicians from every back ground gave him the “Jacob The Jeweler” title representing a man who sells luxurious jewelry to the rich and the famous without budget. However, Jacob is more than a jeweler; he’s also a watch maker with his own line.  The one that the Watch Digest would love to get our hands on is called The Manhattan and it’s a limited edition Jacob & Co. watch with a diamond case top and signature case back.

The watch dial is what intrigued us most about Jacob & Co. ’s Manhattan Limited Edition Watch.  It’s actually a 3 dimensional dial watch reminiscent of monopoly with names of famous New York areas engraved into the dial face including Park Avenue, Wall Street, 5th Avenue, and Time Square.  In the center, the actual hour and minute hands with are encased in a 3D box and studded with diamonds.

It gets even better, the hour markers are pretty amazing too. New York buildings and shapes are used as hour markers for the 1,2, 4, 5, 7,8, 10, and 11 o’clock markers.  The 12, 3, 6, and 9 o’clock markers’ are diamond studded shapes and numbers.  The entire case measures at 29 by 29 millimeters and protects a Quartz movement and 5 jewels.  Sapphire crystal protects the case as a crocodile strap finishes off the look.

It’s an extravagant, over-the-top, and luxurious watch that only “Jacob the Jeweler” could create!
