Several Indian celebrities have recently been spotted wearing an eye-catching statement piece from luxury watchmaker Jacob & Co. This includes Anant Ambani and actor Salman Khan from Sikandar. These watches are far from ordinary- they carry deep cultural meaning in the world of fashion.

Some celebrities who often showcase their luxurious collections, one stunning timepiece at a time, include Anant Ambani, Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan, Abhishek Bachchan, and Ram Charan. Recently, the “Ram Janmabhoomi” watch, featuring a vermilion design, has become the centre of attention. This limited-edition timepiece draws inspiration from Indian culture. Salman Khan was recently seen wearing it.

Jacob & Co owner

Jacob Arabo, the founder of Jacob & Co, is the creative mind behind the brand. Born in Tashkent, Uzbekistan, into a Jewish family as the youngest of five children, Arabo had a passion for watches from a young age, fascinated by their intricate gears and parts.

Due to financial struggles, he left school and enrolled in a jewellery-making course, eventually starting his career as a jeweller. He later founded Diamond Quasar, a retail jewellery company. His unique craftsmanship quickly gained attention, making his first store a hub for luxury seekers. Before long, he became an internationally recognised name.

Today, almost every major Indian celebrity owns at least one Jacob & Co watch. Arabo was even a guest at Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant’s wedding.
