The Godfather Watch: A Timeless Tribute to Cinematic Elegance
Since its release in 1972,
The Godfather has stood as a monumental work in film history, influencing generations of creators and audiences alike. Jacob & Co. has taken this cinematic legacy and reinterpreted it in the realm of horology. In an unprecedented collaboration, Jacob & Co. secured the first-ever licensing agreement with Paramount Pictures, allowing them to craft timepieces that encapsulate the essence, themes, and musical motifs of
The Godfather.
The centerpiece of this collaboration is the
Opera Godfather collection, which translates the film's rich narrative into complex watchmaking. This unique collection allows wearers to experience the cinematic universe on their wrist through advanced horological features like the three-axis flying tourbillon and a functioning music box that plays the iconic

Love Theme over approximately 30 seconds. This multisensory experience captures the essence of Jacob & Co.'s mission to reignite the magical world of cinema.
