Specialist note

Founded in 1980 by Jacob Arabo in New York, the jeweler soon gained a reputation among celebrities. In 2002, Jacob & Co. officially launched their very first timepiece with an emphasis on creating extravagant timepieces set with exquisite gem-stones.

The present hourglass timer from Jacob & Co. in plated brass is presented with a spinning and illuminated stand featuring yellow gems that fall effortlessly in the hour glass. The combination of the stunning yellow/ gold colours and the gems which appear to be floating is sure to enchant anybody who comes across. Combined with the multi-time zones, this hour glass makes for the perfect desk-clock, the only danger being that you won’t be able to take your eyes off it!
