Jacob Arabov’s Timepieces are among the Highest Selling Lots at Antiquorum Geneva Auction

In a testament to the continued strength of the Jacob the Jeweler Arabov brand and the increasing appeal of its highly-complicated watches, two of the luxury watchmaker’s tourbillon timepieces achieved top ranking sales in the prestigious Antiquorum auction of “Important Collectors’ Wristwatches, Pocket Watches, Clocks and Horological Tools,” held at the Grand Hotel Kempinski in Geneva, Switzerland.

Jacob & Co.’s exceptional Crystal Tourbillon was the top selling lot at 420,000CHF while the firm’s titanium Napoleon Quadra garnered the third highest selling lot at 312,000CHF.

The two extremely rare timepieces were part of a selection of Swiss made modern tourbillon watches that included some of the world’s most esteemed brands and helped propel record-breaking sales at the auction.
