This $330k Jacob & Co ‘Godfather’ watch plays opera music

by Ben Welham | Feb 24, 2022 - 8:57AM | Watches

This Jacob & Co ‘Godfather’ musical watch might just be the most insane timepiece we’ve ever seen.

The Opera Godfather Musical Watch combines the world of high-end watchmaking with the mechanical nature of the musical box, playing the theme music of Francis Ford Coppola’s The Godfather.

It’s powered by its very own exclusive, 658-component JCFM04 movement as well as featuring its own bespoke rotating cylinders with a total of 36 teeth turning to play 120 notes from The Godfather theme music.

Not only is this watch musical, but horologically speaking it’s a masterpiece too.

The Opera Godfather relies on a triple-axis gravitational tourbillon that you can actually see working.

The watch is made of a combination of steel, brass, platinum and titanium (or 18K rose gold) components in the JCFM04 calibre, as well as various hand-finished decorations to give it that personal touch.

The closer you look, the more you see.

It’s a real masterpiece, but it will set you back at least $330,000.
