Jacob & Co.’s Limited-Edition ‘Fast & Furious’ Timepiece Is Indeed Designed For Speed
Earlier this month, revolutionary timepiece brand Jacob & Co unveiled its latest collaboration: the “Fast & Furious Twin Turbo.” A limited-edition timepiece that fuses the DNA of Universal Pictures’ renowned film saga, Fast & Furious, and the luxury brand, the inspiration for the design is speed.

“Our Twin Turbo Furious is such a natural fit for the Fast & Furious franchise,” says Benjamin Arabov, Jacob & Co. CEO. “Not only the name of our watch but the whole emphasis on speed and being exceptional. Jacob & Co. has been in many important and successful partnerships, but we have never partnered with an entity that so closely fits our DNA. The new Fast & Furious Twin Turbo Furious watches are going to be awesome.”
The new timepiece is reminiscent of the original Jacob & Co. Twin Turbo Furious, the first timepiece in the world to combine a high-speed twin-axis tourbillon, decimal minute repeater, monopusher chronograph, and mechanical time reference indicator. Meticulously designed with details that embody the racing theme, like the twin triple-axis tourbillons that rotate in unison at lightning-fast speeds of 24, 48, and 180 seconds, the sapphire crystal face that features the iconic Fast & Furious film imagery of the starting girl with checkered flags, and a monopusher chronograph, using a horizontal clutch system operated by a column wheel, the new timepiece seamlessly integrates the two brands’ ethos of extraordinary storytelling.

Priced at $580,000, the watch is limited to nine pieces to celebrate the latest chapter in Universal Pictures’ Fast & Furious film saga, “F9,” which debuted on June 25th. And while this is the first installment of this partnership, Arabov teases how this collaboration will evolve, “What we have planned is incredibly exciting and will be as fast, furious, and exciting as the film saga.”
