The Description

The Ultimate Tribute: Jacob & Co. Opera Godfather 50th Anniversary Engineering Marvel with 658 Components The Jacob & Co. Opera Godfather is a testament to the pinnacle of haute horlogerie. This extraordinary timepiece is powered by a movement consisting of 658 individual components, a number far exceeding standard luxury watches. Each part is meticulously assembled to facilitate the intricate music box complication. When activated via the pusher at 10 o’clock, two hand-finished cylinders with 36 teeth pluck the combs to play a 120-note melody of the legendary Godfather theme. As the music plays, the entire internal mechanism—including the time display and the triple-axis tourbillon—rotates 120 degrees, creating a mesmerizing mechanical dance on your wrist. A Dial That Tells a Story Every detail on the dial is inspired by the Francis Ford Coppola masterpiece. You will find a highly detailed miniature grand piano whose keys move as the music plays, a symbolic hand-painted red rose at the center, and the iconic image of Marlon Brando as Vito Corleone. The “The Godfather 50” logo is proudly displayed, marking this as a special anniversary edition. The time is shown on a distinct sub-dial with a sunburst finish and blue-tone hands, designed to remain perfectly upright even as the movement rotates, thanks to a patented differential system. Exceptional Design and Presence The watch features a massive, specially domed sapphire-style crystal designed to capture and reflect light from every angle, making the complex movement visible even from the sides. The polished silver-tone case is engraved with intricate details, and the case back features the “Opera Godfather” branding along with specific series markings like “OP110.40” and “01/88”. To power the musical soul of the watch, a violin-shaped crank unfolds from the side of the case, allowing the wearer to manually wind the melody, adding a tactile and vintage feel to this modern mechanical wonder.
