Celebrating half a century of Don Corleone mythology. Jacob & Co. OPERA GODFATHER 50TH ANNIVERSARY
The Godfather is considered one of the greatest and most influential films of all time. Francis Ford Coppola's film portrait of the Corleone family is an absolute masterpiece, winning three Oscars and seven Golden Globes. The crime family saga celebrated its 50th anniversary, first released in 1972, with a remake of the gangster drama this year. This is the perfect opportunity for Jacob & Co. to present the epic re-creation of its Godfather Triaxial Tourbillon Musical Watch.
Great show on the wrist
The 50th anniversary of Jacob & Co. Opera Godfather has a special meaning for the brand's founder, Jacob Arabo, and its CEO, Benjamin Arabov, who are die-hard fans of the film. One of the earliest conversations was "I believe in America," a phrase that resonated closely with Jacob. “When I first came to the US from Uzbekistan in 1979, I was 14, didn’t speak the language, and my family didn’t have a cent. So we worked really hard. It took me two years Just earned the time and money to go to the movies. The Godfather was released again; it was the first movie I saw in the cinema."
In the purest Jacob & Co style, the Godfather 50th Anniversary Edition high quality watches replica is a statement piece, visually and technically spectacular. Combining professional craftsmanship and precision watchmaking, this limited-edition watch presents complications and decorative arts in a unique way, creating a 3D kinetic sculpture. Its impressive high-domed sapphire crystal invites you to appreciate the ever-changing details inspired by this cult movie.
First up is the miniature grand piano with a portrait of Marlon Brando/Don Vito Corleone, black PVD-pink gold plate "50 Years of the Godfather" with the iconic puppet string logo and a hand-painted rose in the center move. The time is displayed on a small dial reminiscent of a piano keyboard. The movement is regulated by a fascinating three-axis flying tourbillon (97 parts, 1.79 grams), and the ballets of concentric frames (rotating in 24, 48 and 180 seconds respectively) allow for multi-dimensional rotation to counter the negative effects of gravity.
Godfather Love Theme On Demand
But the spectacle isn't just visual. A musical installation plays Nino Rota's "The Godfather's Love Theme". The mechanism works as a small music box. A pair of drums are set with 120 individually hand-riveted pins - these pins must be positioned precisely to hit the blades of the comb to play the 120-note melody. These twin cylinders feature 13 iconic Godfather quotes, which are revealed as they rotate. The musical mechanism is driven by the rotation of the entire movement (120° in 30 seconds)! replica Richard Mille Felipe Massa
Comprising no less than 658 parts, the hand-wound JCFM04 revs at 21,600vph and has a 42-hour power reserve. A violin-shaped crank at 3 o'clock winds the two barrels that power the time mechanism and the music mechanism. The latter is activated on demand via a pusher at 10 o'clock, and like the minute repeater, the flywheel regulates its speed. Finally, the time is set via the flip-up bow on the back of the case.
Femtosecond Laser Etching Technology
This micro-mechanical miniature is protected by a sapphire dome and housed in an impressive 43mm gold case with skeletonized lugs. Another case side that pays homage to the Godfather has been used as a canvas for laser engraving a film roll with 13 movie scenes. The engraving is very deep (0.3mm) and sharp. DM Surfaces, one of Jacob & Co.'s Swiss partners, achieved an impressive level of rendering. Each case is engraved for no less than 30 hours using a combination of nanolaser and femtosecond laser. The selective and masterful oxidation of gold allows the creation of a wide variety of shades and tones (256 in total), reproducing images in ultra-realistic 3D chiaroscuro.Discount replica watches
