ICristiano Ronaldo’s watch collection has recently expanded with the addition of an extraordinary watch presented to him by Jacob Arabo, founder of Jacob & Co.
This horological masterpiece is the Twin Turbo Furious Baguette watch, equipped with two three-axis tourbillons and estimated to retail for a whopping $1.3 million.
However, this extraordinary watch is extremely unique, with only 18 examples remaining. Owning one at retail price seems to be the preserve of a select few, such as long-time Jacob & Co. customers and world-renowned celebrities such as Portuguese football player CR7.
Cristiano Ronaldo marvels at his Twin Turbo Furious Baguette watch
In a video shared by Jacob & Co., Jacob Arabo can be seen personally presenting the Twin Turbo Furious Baguette watch to Cristiano Ronaldo.
Legend humorously hints that Arab is “nearby,” but it’s worth noting CR7’s luxury Four Seasons hotel in Riyadh’s Kingdom Tower.
This new Cristiano Ronaldo watch is anything but ordinary: it is a testament to luxury and innovation in watchmaking. Its unique features are the double three-axis tourbillon and the decimal minute repeater, which makes it worth an eye-popping $1.3 million.
The watch consists of 832 complex parts and is decorated with 75 precious jewels. The case is made of 18-karat rose gold and decorated with 334 white baguette diamonds, and the crown is also made of the same luxurious material.
The buckle is also decorated with 18 baguette diamonds, which enhances the watch’s exquisite appearance.
What makes Cristiano Ronaldo’s new watch so expensive?
Jacob & Co. aptly describes the Twin Turbo Furious Baguette as “a true high-complication masterpiece, incorporating ultra-high-end mechanics, all exclusive to Jacob & Co.”
It was created to blend the exhilarating energy of the world’s fastest cars with the unparalleled refinement and mechanical complexity of the highest quality watches.
Understanding the complex technology of this watch can be a daunting task. Even explaining how a typical tourbillon watch works is a complex task.
Comprehensive mechanical and horological knowledge is a prerequisite when it comes to understanding the function of the double three-axis tourbillon in a watch with this movement.
The $1.3 million price tag for Cristiano Ronaldo’s new Jacob & Co. watch may seem steep, but it’s affordable for one of the world’s richest athletes. Cristiano Ronaldo currently earns an estimated $200 million annually over two years in the Saudi Professional League.
This acquisition will only enhance the greatness of Ronaldo’s already brilliant watch collection, which embodies the union of art and engineering in the world of watchmaking.
