The Philippe Dufour Family x the Jacob Family

The story revolves around family — the story of a new generation in the watch industry, personified by Daniela Dufour, a watchmaker and daughter of Philippe Dufour, a living legend of horology, and Benjamin Arabov, son of Jacob Arabo and CEO of Jacob&Co. Both are guided by their father’s love of watches.

Several months back, Daniela acquired the Jacob & Co timepiece, “The World is Yours,” as a gift for her father. Daniela Dufour was captivated by origins of the watch, which Jacob and his son Benjamin had created together.

Indeed, the “The World Is Yours” Dual Time Zone has a very special story. It symbolizes heritage, a familial legacy, and watchmaking in Jacob’s family.

Inspired by the dual time zone watch that Jacob at age 13 received as a gift from his father, Nison Arabov, “The World is Yours” Dual Time Zone represents the timepiece that opened the doors of the world and watchmaking to Jacob Arabov – it serves as an homage to the Arabov family’s enduring legacy.
