This Bracelet Pays Homage to One of Jacob & Co.'s Most Iconic Watches
Jacob & Co. has created custom jewelry for everyone from Nigo to Diddy, in the early days, Kanye West and Justin Timberlake would even wait for hours to be seen by Jacob the jeweler. So when launching the brand's first-ever fashion and lifestyle collection, it was only right we got the New York legend to create our own custom piece of jewelry.
The brand's iconic Five Time Zone watch collection inspired much of our collaborative drop, used on everything from varsity jackets to an ashtray, and our bracelets are no different.
Shown above on the wrist of Jay Z, the design includes four different colored shapes to represent the different time zones presented on the quartz watch's face. Taking the shapes and colors from that iconic watch, a selection of charms form the made-to-order bracelet, sitting on a clear string.
As is to be expected with Jacob & Co. there is no expense spared when it comes to materials. 14K yellow gold is used to create each charm, with enamel added to the tops to make each a different color. The blue circle which decorates New York's time zone on the original watch is replaced twice to include a round cham, one presenting the Jacob & Co. logo and the other that of Highsnobiety.
Everything above is true for both of the custom bracelets in our collection, however, the "Diamond Bracelet Multi" has one important addition to its design: diamonds.
A Jacob & Co. trademark, the jeweler started his career by producing diamond-encrusted designs for the stars; he's iced out everything from dice to Pepsi cans, and that's only with his favorite customer Pharrell. Our diamond bracelet gives a subtle nod to that history by including five rectangle charms encrusted with 3.75 ct diamonds.
Completing the collaborative exchange, our Jacob & Co. collection also includes us working together on something that the HS in-house brand specializes in: fashion and lifestyle products. Everything from graphic t-shirts and hats to leather coasters and an ashtray are available in the full drop, check it out on the Highsnobiety Shop.
