Jacob & Co. Opera Godfather Edition

Music exists in time. Jacob & Co. Opera replica watches combines two traditional Swiss handicrafts, both a highly complex timepiece and a wearable music box... Besides, this is a spectacular performance on the wrist that is difficult to describe. Its three-axis tourbillon ballet and its dynamic musical mechanism are surprising and fascinating. Technically, the combination of these two rare complications is impressive. Show off a timepiece that goes against the traditional label by tying the “Godfather” theme and putting a miniature Don Vito Corleone inside. Its center!

This music organization works based on the principle of miniaturizing music boxes to fit watches. It is driven by its own barrel. Just like a minute repeater, the regulator flywheel controls the speed of complications and sets the rhythm of the melody generated by the gear drive pin and the steel comb drive gear.

The 2 cylinders have manually set pins that can sweep the 30 (2×15) blades of the 2 combs to play the melody. The precise adjustment of the pins and the different lengths of the blades will produce different notes. Each of the 100 pins is manually inserted into the cylinder with the highest accuracy. The manufacture of the comb is very important, especially the length of the blade and its strength to produce the correct melody.discount replica watches

When playing the melody, the entire mechanical module (including the three-axis tourbillon, the music mechanism and the hour and minute eccentricity indicator) rotates 120° around the dial within 20 seconds.

The manual winding movement JCFM02 includes no less than 664 parts and a diameter of 43 mm. It is adjusted by a three-axis tourbillon. The ballet in the concentric cage allows multi-dimensional rotation to counteract the negative effects of gravity: 40 seconds on the first axis, 3 minutes on the second axis, and 8 minutes on the third axis. The complex design includes 97 parts and weighs only 1.79g. Its variable inertial balance runs at a speed of 21,600 vibrations per hour. The power reserve of the chronograph mechanism is 72 hours.


The completion of the movement involves a lot of work and artistic mastery. For example, the “Godfather” character in the center is hand-carved and hand-painted. The gold sheet music was engraved and painted by hand. The cylinder is gilded. The plates and bridges are sandblasted and PVD coated, and the screw heads are mirror polished. The dial is decorated with gold appliques and blue hands.replica watches for sale


This moving movement is housed in a 47mm case made of DLC titanium and rose gold. It is protected by a highly domed sapphire crystal. Although the top is curved and the cutting angle is clear, the technical achievement made of glass is only one part, it can observe the complex movement from all angles at a glance. The winding of the movement JCFM02 is set by the two folding crowns on the back of the watch. Activate the melody with faders at 2 o’clock. The watch is worn on a crocodile leather strap and is equipped with a folding clasp.

Jacob & Co. Opera is not the first musical watch, but it does belong to the same category with its amazing design and super-complex mechanical principle (a music mechanism with two combs and a three-axis tourbillon). The retail price of the “Godfather” DLC titanium/pink gold limited edition is 300.000 Swiss francs, and we are reviewing it here. Several other versions also have different materials, melodies and themes. You can also order watches according to your preferences.

Two versions of Jacob & Co. Opera are introduced. The first is the Godfather Limited Edition, a DLC titanium/pink gold version with a miniature role of the Godfather in the center and playing the theme of the Godfather. The second is rose gold, which has no special features. One of the earliest versions of the watch was a couple dancing in its center.swiss replica watches usa
