While not a fan of Jacob & Co by any stretch - but had this been branded Richard Mille, then I think the attitude would be vastly different.

I personaly don't like it - then again, I'm not really a fan of Mille while I do respect the inovation and engineering.
Was about to post the same thing, had it been Mille it would be a different reaction..!

It would look ridiculous whatever brand was on the front of it.

No more ridiculous than all of the Mille offerings I have seen adored on here.

Can't comment on that as my original sentiment for this watch was, NO. I hadn't even looked at the maker, but was commenting on the horrendous looks.

Fair enough, I just think people are quick to tar Jacob as the rappers choice (which they are hehe) even though this particular one doesn't look dissimilar to some Mille offerings that have received great praise on this forum.

But yes, ugly biggrin
