The Jacob & Co mono-brand flagship at Takashimaya Shopping Centre offers a singular destination for its celebrated horological automata and groundbreaking haute joaillerie
The full creative force of Jacob & Co has arrived in Singapore with the announcement of its first mono-brand flagship boutique, located on level two of Takashimaya Shopping Centre, in partnership with Singapore luxury watch retailer Sincere Fine Watches. Known for its mastery of bold, yet wearable horological sculptures, this significant opening marks a pivotal moment for the American brand's Southeast Asian presence. The new boutique will offer watch and jewellery collectors a unified space to experience the full spectrum of the Jacob & Co universe.

Inside the flagship, the interiors are designed to mirror the artistry the brand offers. Every detail, from the ceiling’s signature star motif and the high-gloss cladding to the pristine diamond-patterned quilted wall panels, creates a luminous atmosphere for discovery of Jacob & Co’s technical spectacles. As Jacob Arabo, chairman and founder of Jacob & Co, states, “The opening of the Singapore boutique gives us the ideal platform to showcase the full breadth of our creativity. High watchmaking, high jewellery and frequently, both in a single piece, we love to push the boundaries, reinvent them. That’s what our motto, ‘Inspired by the Impossible,’ truly means.”
Within this extraordinary setting resides a curated collection of pieces that truly embody the Inspired by the Impossible ethos. Leading the showcase is the Bugatti Tourbillon Baguette, a timepiece that elevates mechanical audacity into a high jewellery art form. This collaboration with the hyper sports car manufacturer Bugatti is a masterpiece of design integration. Encased in white gold and set with 328 invisibly mounted baguette-cut diamonds, the watch houses a hand-wound calibre featuring a miniature V16 engine block automaton. This complex spectacle faithfully replicates the motion of the Bugatti supercar's engine, complete with a 30-second flying tourbillon, and is limited to only 18 pieces globally.

A contrasting, yet equally magnificent creation is the Fleurs de Jardin White Gold Pink Sapphires. This piece applies Jacob & Co’s complex Astronomia savoir-faire to a feminine piece of poetic perpetual motion. Beneath its domed sapphire, time becomes art as a constellation of gemstone flowers twirl in harmony—suspended blooms turn clockwise, mirrored by a mother-of-pearl floral ring in counter-rotation. Powered by a vertical Astronomia movement with a flying tourbillon and patented Differential Gears System, this 42.5 mm creation is framed by pink sapphires, completing a symphony of eternal spring.
The boutique experience is expanded by pieces that defy traditional gem-setting limits, such as the spectacular Caviar Tourbillon Rainbow. This is a pièce unique where the case, dial, crown, and buckle are entirely paved in a seamless gradient of over 350 baguette-cut multicoloured sapphires using the challenging invisible setting technique. The stunning, continuous spectrum of colour curves around the one-minute Flying Tourbillon, turning the watch into a truly unique and vivid sculpture.

Beyond watches, the full scope of Jacob & Co’s artistry is revealed through its jewellery collections.

Crafted in precious gold and adorned with hundreds of meticulously set diamonds, each piece embodies confidence and connection. This collection captures the unique dialogue between strength and grace, reflecting the brand’s unmistakable ability to transform passion into wearable artistry.
The new flagship boutique by Sincere Fine Watches brings Jacob & Co’s mastery of high watchmaking to our shores, offering visitors direct access to a world where technical ingenuity, fearless creativity, and the pursuit of the extraordinary are the true guiding principles.
