SALMAN KHAN DUAL TIME ZONE

Indian cinema legend Salman Khan and Jacob & Co. Founder and Chairman Jacob Arabo have been friends since Jacob & Co. decided to establish a strong presence in India. Their bond deepened when Khan learned that The World Is Yours Dual Time Zone was inspired by a watch Jacob’s father gifted him at age 13. It was a symbol of time’s significance, of the importance of realizing your unlimited potential. Drawing inspiration from this story, they came together to create a special edition of The World Is Yours Dual Time Zone that honors Khan’s own father, legendary cinema writer Salim Khan.

The World Is Yours Dual Time Zone Salman Khan is a tribute to the watch that started it all. The watch that opened the world of watchmaking to Jacob Arabo. It's inspired by a vintage timepiece that's an Arabov family heirloom : a double time zone watch that Jacob Arabo received at the age of 13, from the hands of his father, Nison Arabov. This steel version of The World Is Yours Dual Time Zone is the first model to be crafted in partnership with India's movie star Salman Khan. “Sallu Bhai”, as his fans call him, is a central and massive figure in the Indian Cinema ecosystem. His loyal following, his frequent hits, his generosity and independence have made him one of the most beloved actors in the world.

The World Is Yours Dual Time Zone Salman Khan takes after the original Wakmann double time zone Jacob Arabo received from his father. Like its inspiration, it features a double, independent timezone. It's powered by self-winding caliber JCAA11, which allows both sub-dials to be set separately. Each one shows a different hour and a different minute, allowing to keep up with any timezone, especially the ones with a 15, 30 or 45 minute offset. The most important of them is India's single timezone, set at UTC + 4:30.

TWO INDEPENDENT TIME ZONES

The World Is Yours Dual Time Zone Salman Khan indicates two time zones, complete with hours and minutes. Each one zone can be set down to the minute. It is the only way countries with unusual UTC time offsets, like India, can display both local time and home time accurately. The subdials take after India's flag and the 30-minute index at 6 o'clock is discreetly replaced by SK, Salman Khan's initials. The crown located on the right side of the case has three positions. Winding, time setting for the lower time zone, time setting for the upper time zone. It's up to the wearer to choose which one is local time.

THE ASHOKA CHAKRA CENTRAL SECONDS

At the center of the domed dial lies a small seconds hand. It's shaped like a wind rose, a necessary compass in the middle of a world map. Underneath, the printed pattern is that of India's flag, the 24-spoke wheel of the Ashoka Chakra, which symbolizes the Dharma.

THE DOMED, 3D DIAL
