In comparison to traditional dual-time watches, “The World Is Yours” design allows for a wholly independent hour and minute setting, this makes it especially practical for time zones with unique offsets, like India’s GMT +5:30.
“The World Is Yours” watch showcases a domed, three-dimensional dial resembling a globe. Designed with global travellers in mind, it includes an adjustable dual time zone feature, a rarity in fine watchmaking, according to Jacob & Co.
The watch also celebrates India’s culture and flag with vibrant saffron and green accents. Its case back features a laser-engraved world map and the inscription “Salman Khan.” These intricate details make the timepiece both rare and highly valuable.
Another watch that celebs have been spotted wearing is Jacob & Co.’s Epic X Ram Janmabhoomi Titanium Edition, a watch that goes beyond timekeeping to honour Indian history and spirituality. Designed in partnership with Ethos Watches, this limited-edition piece features intricate engravings celebrating the iconic Ram Janmabhoomi site.
The watch is as remarkable in price as it is in craftsmanship, retailing at ₹34 lakh, according to the brand's website. It showcases the Ram Janmabhoomi temple with a design that reflects its architectural beauty and historical significance. The dial and bezel also feature engravings, including depictions of Hindu deities.
