PH opinions on this Jacob & Co watch?

[MadMullah]

Would like to know what PH thinks of this Jacob & co and the brand/make in general...





its on for £2500 but i'm sure that can be shaved off...

[Hoofy]

Looks like a £5 ebay special.

I think there are plenty of other better options for the money that exude sobriety in taste and craftsmanship.

Vile.

I have never seen one that I like or would wear. And this one is no different

What a disgusting watch

[PJ S]

That's a watch?
On which planet?

[Asterix]

Planet 'More Money Than Taste'.

[Voldemort]

I could understand the need for a device displaying more than 1 time zone. But five??? Oh, and it only matches what you're wearing if you're at work and your job is a clown.

Even they don't wear these anymore.


They've always looked like a woman's watch to me.

Is this for real?

Look at the various images of this watch! So crass!

[militantmandy]

I think this pretty much sums the company up:



The Caligula. You couldn't make it up!

ETA - It's number 1 of 69! Maybe they have a sense of humour after all. You'd certainly need one to wear their watches!

I haven't seen that complication before, it's certainly not an ETA one.

I assume you are joking or you have a guide dog ? would only be worn by the great unwashed

[AlexWF]

Aside from any issues of taste (which is entirely subjective), that fact of the matter is that these watches are poorly made and depreciate worse than any brand I have ever come across.

£2500 may seem cheap but when you try and trade it in to a dealer and get offered less than a grand (or get a point blank refusal to buy it from you) it won't seem like much of a bargain!

Taste is subjective.
No one but no one could ever say these are in good taste.
Unless of course they are a graduation present from Clown College

[westberks]

only time I saw one in the flesh it had been bought for a youngster who had aspirations to be a professional footballer by his dad, who was involved in the distribution of recreational pharmaceuticals.


sums it up really!

I, for my sins, did the grand launch of Jacob & Co in Dubai. My firm was looking after the PR side of things.

The whole thing was an exercise in bling and bad taste.
