Bollywood icon Salman Khan joins forces with esteemed luxury watchmaker Jacob & Co. to unveil an exclusive timepiece—an elegant homage to his father, legendary screenwriter Salim Khan. This special edition, part of The World Is Yours Dual Time Zone collection, beautifully encapsulates the essence of legacy, familial ties, and global unity. Blending masterful craftsmanship with deep personal significance, this collaboration stands as a timeless symbol of heritage and connection.
Salman Khan shares a profound bond with Jacob & Co.’s Founder and Chairman, Jacob Arabo, a friendship reflected in his admiration for the brand’s exquisite timepieces, including the Bugatti Chiron Tourbillon. Their connection deepened when Khan discovered the heartfelt inspiration behind The World Is Yours Dual Time Zone—a watch inspired by a cherished gift from Jacob’s father, symbolizing the value of time and boundless possibilities. Moved by this sentiment, Khan and Arabo came together to create a timepiece that pays tribute to Salim Khan’s enduring legacy and the profound influence he has had on his son’s journey.
This exclusive edition stands out with its striking domed dial, which resembles a globe, emphasizing its connection to international travellers. Unlike conventional dual-time watches, this model features an independently adjustable time zone mechanism, allowing for seamless setting of both hours and minutes, a rare innovation in high watchmaking. This function is particularly useful for locations with unique time offsets, such as India’s GMT +5:30 zone.
Paying homage to Salman Khan’s Indian heritage, the watch incorporates design elements inspired by the nation’s much-talked about cultural richness. Saffron and green details reflect the Indian flag’s colours, while a finely engraved world map and “Salman Khan” inscription on the case back highlight his global impact and signature style. Additionally, his initials “S.K.” are elegantly placed at the six o’clock position on the dial. The timepiece is presented in a bespoke box in Khan’s signature turquoise shade, matching the iconic bracelet he is rarely seen without.
Salman Khan, reflecting on his profound personal bond with the project, expressed how time serves as a bridge across generations. Inspired by Jacob’s story, he felt an innate desire to craft something that pays homage to his father’s lasting influence. The World Is Yours is more than just a timepiece—it embodies legacy, family, and the cherished moments that shape our lives.
With this collaboration, Salman Khan becomes part of an elite group of Jacob & Co. ambassadors, further cementing the brand’s legacy of crafting timepieces that transcend functionality. More than just luxury watches, these masterpieces embody personal stories, heritage, and timeless sophistication, making each creation a statement of exclusivity and prestige.
