Most famous for its jewelled timepieces and the Astronomia, Jacob & Co. specialises in over-the-top watches. The Opera Godfather 50th Anniversary combines the world of ultra-high-end watchmaking with the breathtaking complexity of a mechanical music box, playing the stirring theme music of The Godfather.
This 50-piece limited series is a striking cinematic, graphic and musical recollection of Francis Ford Coppola's cult classic that surpasses every previous iteration. A worthy and symbolic celebration of a motion picture that turned 50 without ageing in the least.
It incorporates thirteen of the movie's scenes, in the same narrative order as in the movie. This graphic synopsis is laser-etched onto the white gold case with an unprecedented level of vividness and quality. The piece also features the movie's thirteen most famous quotes engraved on the music box barrels. Some of them are firmly anchored in popular culture, the most famous being "I'm gonna make him an offer he can't refuse." The Godfather repeater, and Jacob & Co. more broadly, occupies a peculiar niche of extravagant, excessive horology that few other brands can match.
