The Day of the Dead, or Día de los Muertos, is a day when Mexico comes alive with colours, auspiciously celebrating the life and eternal existence of their ancestors. This reverent gathering profoundly enlightens people that life and death are two distinct threads woven intricately into the unfalteringly eternal fabric of existence, and not starkly opposing forces. Taking due inspiration from this sacred tradition, Jacob & Co. has monumentally unveiled the freshly minted Skull Double Tourbillon, a remarkable timepiece that makes a bold statement in the pioneer watchmaker’s illustrious history of avant-garde innovation and pristine opulence, gracefully musing the enduring legacy of memory and time’s fleeting nature.

Artisanal Craftsmanship

Epitomizing state-of-the-art horological craftsmanship, the magnificent timepiece features a robust 46-mm rose gold case and a solid onyx dial, making way for a deeply meditative backdrop. At the heart this esteemed design peacefully rests a rose gold skull, a powerful testament to the transient human journey that is transformative, everlasting and bold. Adding glory to its breathtaking design are two gleaming spinels embellished into the eyes of the skull, elegantly incorporating an additional touch of artisanal brilliance which evokes the departed soul’s vibrant presence. 

Flawlessly mirroring life’s unending rhythm are the meticulously forged dual triple-axis tourbillons, functioning tirelessly in a perpetual motion. With each turn, this cutting-edge tourbillion effortlessly mimics time’s transient nature, while duly honouring memorable moments that gracefully testify the philosophy that the past, present, and future are intertwined. Additionally, this twin tourbillion’s enigmatic dance respectfully pays homage to our forefathers, poignantly reminding the discerning wearer to live a life with utmost intention, embracing every second that flies past. 

Eternally Exclusive

Exemplifying unparallelled exclusivity, the Skull Double Tourbillon is limited to merely 18 pieces worldwide. This is not just a watch, but an heirloom that awe-inspiringly transcends conventional horological craftsmanship, boldly redefining standards in the vast realm of luxury timepieces. Every attribute of this exclusive timepiece- from the precisely-calibrated movement to the marvellously forged dial, vibrantly celebrates the essence of Día de los Muertos, gloriously echoing a timeless message: life transforms, but it never truly ends.

This makes the Jacob & Co. Skull Double Tourbillon an artistic marvel that spiritually connects the living and the departed, standing as a remarkable testament to eternal remembrance, inviting horological connoisseurs and the superwealthy alike to cherish and contemplate the legacies that define us.
