- We've been promising you something very special, and this week, it's here! We had the amazing opportunity to tour one of Jacob's factories where his incredible watches are made. This week, we're finding out about the amazingly intricate process of creating sapphire crystal cases for some of his most expensive creations, such as the Astronomia, Chiron and Twin Turbo.
Big thank you to Jacob and Alexander for letting us film some of the processes involved in creating these cases. As you can imagine, a lot of the techniques and knowledge is highly guarded, and this is the first time that cameras have ever been allowed around this factory.
Stay tuned (and make sure you're subscribed) as we delve deeper into the watchmaking process, when we head to a different factory to find out how Jacob's movements are created and installed into the watches.

Michael secretly went to the factory to design his new watch
I bet it’d actually look good too lol
Hopefully not with drumsticks again. Was verry personal to him yes, but that was truly the only thing i didn't like on this watch.
Ask Jaboc about prison , it would be great
@@AnastasiaifbbJaboc ? Did you go to prison Anastasia ?
Now that makes to much sense, only an intelligent person can see that
Thanks Michael, Adam, Alex, Jacob of course, and everyone at the factory for your efforts. Very cool to see and I appreciate it.
ty
Really enjoyed, looking forward to the movements factory
Absolutely, it's killing me waiting for the next episode but it's gonna be well worth it I'm sure . Love your videos Sparkles ! Keep doing your thing 💪
When will sparkles get a jacob and co watch or do you already own one that we don't know about? 🤔
Hi sparkles love your case opening videos, nice that u also love watches 😎🔥

Great to see you guys out on the road producing some of the best content on the internet... And full credit to Jacob for letting you guys into his world!! What a privilege!
jacob is not manufacture , ! novo cristal sa !made cases for him
Road? they flying.
@@TheLondonCyclist London Simpleton triggered by the word road LOL 'On the road' phrase

"she has accompanied Michael Jackson on the road"
@@HEATSEEKER00 You actually fell for that comment? come on man.
@@TheLondonCyclist ignore the bot
Best video yet. As an engineer this is fascinating and the problems are real. 10 to 30 is a ridiculous margin of error for people who are trying thier very best to reduce that. Highlights just hoe difficult this is to do.
@@hassyg4083 agreed, cant wait for the next one
not when its $10 crystal
Amazing video! Jacob saying to Michael he's just happy to spend the day with him shows how nice of a guy he is
Love that Michael’s channel is getting the attention he deserves, he’s such a humble guy!
A whole new level of respect for everyone involved in the making of these pieces. Special doesn't cut it. Thanks to everyone.💕
yeh great cnc machines. seem like bot comments here
Exactly!
Still max cost less then 10k to produce those cases are from 2k to 5k max any color or shape
All these Jacob and Co watches can be found in their Clone versions at Tepito's Market in Mexico City for only $250 USD each. They look and work exactly the same as the originals !
@@ezequielcronswell8520It may “look and work the same” but that doesn’t mean they are the same at all. Very ignorant to think they are
Incredible. Truly amazing to see the behind the scenes of what goes into creating Jacob's incredible pieces. Great video!
Much respect to Jacob for giving us access and supporting the producer Michael channel. He's always super down to earth and gracious.
Hands down, ONE OF THE BEST VIDEOS TO DATE! Was suprized to see precision workers under 50 yrs old! Cannot imagine their training process. Thanks!
I respect Jacob and the watch makers transparency. It's so cool!
The fact that you were able to get this content from Jacob speaks to how great this channel is
Tacky promoted by tacky, makes perfect sense.
We should note that it is not "his" factory, but an independent factory (probably) serving several watch brands. This company does not have their brands, but solely a supplier to the companies owning the brands.
Jacob do not design watches. They have a concept and convey it to the suppliers.
Unlike brands like Greubel Forsey, F P Journe and even Omega. J&C is not a true watchmaker brands.
@@sakudoo What we see here is a crystal factory.
With a background in the optical industry, I did have an idea this would be complicated, yet controllable, but Jacob and Co has created a whole new level which adds enormously to the value. Who could know they grow their own materials. As for breaking during polishing, I imagine that temperature plays a significant role. And as I have polished materials myself for 7-8 hours, I can so understand the man crying when at the last point that goes wrong. Your video has created an enormous additional value to Jacob and Co because clients have no idea really what goes on behind the scenes. Much appreciated.
Producer Michael and Adam's videos may be exclusive and well-made, but what makes them even more unique, captivating and contagious is the personality of our favorite producer and right-hand man. In the company of Michael and Adam, I could be interested in anything, even macramé.
Every video with Jacob in his office in New York, he kept on telling us that it was complicated but his warm tone made it seems like Ok Jacob, we know its complicated. After watching that Video, my goodness, it is SO FREAKING COMPLICATED. Jacob was right the whole time. Wow. I am amazed and have a much more grand respect for Jacob and his watches. Thank you to Michael and Adam so much for doing the hard work, filming all these contents for us. Thank you to Jacob giving us the honor of showing his watchmaking life. Wow it's really complicated and that's only the case.
its more complicated than making a hot rod
I can’t imagine that anyone who had seen this video can deny that J&co watches are technical masterpieces.
sapires are lab made, almost every step is automated and machined, there is no art to this.
@@lemarkusmywords4441 come on man you’ve got to be kidding. No art? Have you even seen the whole video bro?
@@pasquale78 which part of this was "art"? looked more like some sort of a sweat shop to me
@@lemarkusmywords4441😂you don't have to be a hater it's OK
@@lemarkusmywords4441 sweat shop ? In switzerland ? those guys earn and have benefits that you could only dream of. Do you even know that in Switzerland there are some of the highest salaries in the world ? In some cases it puts even the USA to shame...
This is amazing, thanks to Jacob for all this. You'd never get this from a LOT of high end watch brands.
Amazing video, big respect for Jacob having the guts showing us the inside of his amazing craft. Very educational!
This video is a major mic-drop moment to all those that say Jacob watches are trash! Awesome work you guys! And kudos to the presenter that was explained everything without holding back.
@@hassyg4083 Well... it's Switzerland, so... not many bearded dudes called Abdullah, I assume 😆
@@hassyg4083migrant workers gets at least minimum wage, and the health benefits of a excellent health system 🙌
Executing jobs the locals doesn’t want…..
@@watcheswithabdullah idk Mr Arabo is there anyway they hid most of the workers, assume China can produce the same for 1/4 the cost
Just because something takes time to make doesn't mean it looks good..
@@hassyg4083well that's a good theory, maybe the whole process is so easy and standard to make watches that they didn't wanted to show it lol
Those cases are absolutely unique and stunning! Quality-wise excellent!
There’s actually a few brands that do crystal cases
@@msquared6695 there's no way he would've known that without you mentioning it
@@kyledriscollmusic well he seems to think that they are “unique” so..
@@msquared6695 what other brand makes a bugatti shaped case?
@@kyledriscollmusic no brand does that,but Jacob makes a Bugatti shape engine
Not a huge fan of Jacob watches (maybe because I can't afford one) but I can certainly understand and appreciate the level of complexity, finishing, time and love spent on each piece. You can tell how much Michael loves these watches - he looks like a kid in a Lego factory. Amazing insight and content.

Michael hit the nail on the head, it's an eye opener and goes a long way towards justifying the price tag of these watches. Amazing stuff.
Absolutely fascinating, gentlemen. The skill, craftsmanship, patience, and desire to produce flawless watches is obvious here. Another A+ video. More watches, more mansions.
Kyropoulos method
HUGE THANK YOU TO MR. ARABO! What a treat. I had no idea how they made such complicated pieces, the intricacy of the cases and polishing of those intricacies is amazing! I wondered where/ how they obtained sapphire. I thought it was mined like a diamond or marble. It is cool to see they make it like a lab grown diamond. Thank you again to Jacob, Michael and Adam for showing some of the processes and explaining the techniques on this episode of “How it’s made” hahaha cheers. It really puts into perspective the phrase, “you get what you pay for” and shows the cost in a more justifiable light Vs it being expensive because it has the Jacob & Co name on it like Gucci, Prada, or…
That is just phenomenal!! I never thought I could see anything like this. Please keep bringing such extraordinary content for us!!!
Big thanks to Mr Jacob and Mr Alexander for letting us see this process!!!
This is the best camera footage I’ve seen yet from you guys. Looks fantastic. Great job
Love how Jacob & Co. is showing how transparent they are even through the crystal…
Amazing how I watch it after just an hour from release. I love Jacob's watches! It is not just a watch but an Art!
Thank you for sharing this Michael! It is always awesome to see some state of the art manufacturing, and it helps to understand the difficulties to create Jacob's wonderful watches.
I have a new found respect to see what goes into making these fantastic pieces! People are very quick to complain about the price of the pieces but we now have an insightful look into what really goes into making them! I myself will never be able to afford one but I have a better understanding as to why there so expensive now with this video! It’s a great insight and hopefully people can get a better understanding of the whole process now! Take a bow Michael and Jacob ! It’s great content and a great insight for people who have an interest in watches!
enjoy seeing how proud Jacob is of his factory
he makes amazing watches that i will never have
Jacob is the modern Godfather (máfia vibes) Godfather of modern watches
Absolutely fascinating. Now l understand why Jacob's watches are so expensive. Thank-you Jacob and Michael (and Adam, of course). Brilliant.
This has to be the best episode yet . Jacob set up is amazing I never new the amount off attention to detail went into making a jacobs watch
Wow. What an amazing video. The dedication of Michael and Adam to give us such great content every week is amazing. Thank you for all that you do. Keep it up 👍🏾
Truly amazing to see the process of how these masterpieces are made.
its 100x more complex to make an iwatch than this
@@hassyg4083omg keyboard warrior ! Why dont you create? Which company you own ? Which watch you created ? Btw you cant afford thats y you sadist crying nd criticise others efforts nd creativity !! People liked it people buy those watches people spend their millions hard earned money ‘ so stop crying ! And do something ‘
@@hassyg4083not 100x more complex. But it’s a different kind of complexity.
@@charp150 very much so too much technology in an iwatch
yeah lots people dont think of the hand labor goes into something like this thats not mass made @@hassyg4083
Amazing factory ! many thanks to Jacob for the opportunity to see how the pieces of art are born! 💫

What a businessman, having this trip and making this video in order to possibility get a little increase of Jacob's watch :)
Absolutely fantastic!! & many thanks to Jacob for allowing access to see the process!, Excellent video & so looking forward to the next👍
This was fascinating, thank you Michael.
Thank you for the behind the scenes. It's unbelievable how much work goes into something like that. Very impressive
Very cool to see the solid sapphires/behind the scenes. I had no idea the polishing took so long. Thanks for sharing.
Awesome! Videos with Jacob never disappoint
Simply amazing idea. Your "tour guide" also explained it very well. Can't wait to see more.
the director
Wow if all this is just for the case then I can't imagine the complexities that go into making the inner mechanics of the watch itself! Definitely interested in seeing that video next.
I'm loving this series Michael! Jacob really trusts you with this information i see. That indicates not just a partnership but also a great friendship and that's the important part.
Amazing process and understanding why watches of high brands are so expensive and all the work the goes into them. my respect to MR JACOB AND HIS TEAM ..Blessings
alot of machine work
Wow that was AMAZING!! Thanks for taking us on this Journey Jacob and Michael!
Love this!! Thank you jacob for allowing us to watch the amazing proces of your art pieces 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
starts with $5 sapphire
So much effort and dedication to make Jacob watches.. always great to see Jacob and Michael… love the video and looking forward to the next one
As Michael stated, I have a new found respect for the workmanship involved in producing Jacob & Co watches. It motivates me to buy one given the passion and work that is dedicated to each piece.

I absolutely love these kinds of vids. It's so interesting to see the behind the scenes of watch making.
Awesome tour of Jacob & Co case factory. The sapphire case-making process is amazing.
This was SOOOO much fun to watch and see for the first time. True watchmaking and craftsmanship. Sapphires. Ruby's. Emeralds. All living crystals made into art. I am stunned and tip my hat off to Mr. Jacob and his entire team.
To think, this was just the CASES! Not movement (which I know is even more complex than cases). Absolutely ridiculous. Makes me want to own a Jacob of my own.
Someone also mentioned in the comments how much PRIDE and inner-joy/peace Jacob AND the team clearly have for the work they're creating - from the mind of one man. To break down in tears, crying, from pouring your all into a single piece that will be worn by one lucky wearer, and passed down for generations..that's just love.
There's a look on Jacob's face of, "I can't believe...this is my life...that all this began as a dream, now, a reality...and I'm alive to see it all before my eyes" It's just pure bliss, because so few people love and are passionate with the work they do and produce. You can't fake this.
Alchemy and Watch making combined incredible 👏🏽
Best video yet! Fascinating insight into what goes into the manufacturing of the finest watches in the world!
Hey, Michael and Adam I wanted to tell you both that, I am so grateful for your videos. I have been watching for the last few years and it always helps me escape my stressful days and relieves my frustration and of course those big numbers motivate me to keep going. One big massive Thank you.
Amazing content. Such a step up. All kudos to Jacob and the factory people as well as Michael and Adam.
Brilliant cutting edge manipulating of materials! Awesome Jacob watches, Awesome video! Thank You!
This is such an awesome video mini-series! Fascinating to see how Jacob makes his magic.
Amazing insight into the Jacob world this is very much appreciated keep up these fantastic vlogs 😊
That's so insane to see. Also, Alexander explained it in a way you can understand pretty well. Must be a pleasure to work there, all the knowledge and fine work, wow. I'm curious to see the next steps
Wow that's impressive, in my mind I had an idea of what was involved,but I was absolutely way off.
Jacob thank you for letting Michael and Adam to see this and allow us to see it.
Love this overseas series!!! So happy to take a tour of something new! :)
Amazing- I have a newfound appreciation of the time , effort and expertise required. Really appreciate seeing this. Thank you
This has just become one of my favorite videos that I have seen in a long time. And Michael you are right when you said you now know why these watches are so expensive.Can't wait for the next episode.
Great content Micheal and Adam! You guys keep delivering.
Wow, to say this was a fascinating video is an understatement!
Jacob, thank you so much for allowing Michael and Adam inside your first factory to see what goes into making your watches. To say a watch cost a Million $$$ you tend to think that a lot of that is the “brand name” ….BUT not the case with these watches clearly. The hours and labour of love and dedication that goes into making each and every watch in astounding. That this is JUST the case, without the hours of adding the movements inside is so eye opening. I know Jacob has said numerous times they are expensive to make and very complex, what an understatement. The hours upon hours, that machinery processes then the hand polishing before you even start to look like the end product it’s surprising they are not even more expensive. Kudos to Jacob for his very extremely challenging ideas and end creations, pushing the boundaries of nothing is impossible 🤩
I felt so bad for the guy that spent all that time making a case to accidentally break it, I imagine his heart sank to the floor along with his tears. So many, many hours of work gone in a split second.
Thank you so much Michael Adam and especially Jacob, for the honour of allowing us to see a “small” part of what you do for work, making your truly unique and amazing watches. What a privilege ❤
Love from Australia 🇦🇺💙💙💙
That was an incredible ride! Thanks! Jacob's stuff is so professionnal (So the guy!)! You guys (Michael and Jacob) are very fun to watch!
So much respect for all those working on these parts true crafts people my mind is blown by the complexity and attention to detail great video lads keep em coming
You just unlocked a new level on this channel. A pleasure to watch and inspiring. Can’t wait for the next one🤩
Jacob is truly a wonderful human and one of the best jewelers / watch designers the world has ever seen. Sad he is not as appreciated now as he will be in the future. His brand is going to BOOM. His son is doing huge things with the brand.
I'm curious how much you know about him to call him a wonderful human. I'm guessing you haven't googled him. You'll find interesting stuff about him regarding money laundering and fraudulent documents.
@@BLdontM he sold jewelry to drug dealers posing as rappers 🤷🏻♂️ big deal. He did his time in prison and came out to build a beautiful more vibrant brand than before.
I really hope you are planning on submitting this video series for an award somewhere. I can already tell it is going to be a wonderful documentary!
I was going to comment something but I have alot of respect for the craftsmanship that has gone into these cases. Absolutely gorgeous. Very upfront about the production. Expectations managed quite well.
Absolutely fascinating 😮 can't wait to see the work going into craftsmanship of the movement, let's hope skills like this aren't lost to the digital age 👍
yeh lets hope they dont stop using machines
Always good to see you guys
It is nice from Jacob to recognize this factory tour as an opportunity to show the real value behind all bling.
This was insanely interesting, I have a new found respect for these watches and the people making them behind the scenes
Amazing content…well done guys 😊
24:35 What an awesome scene captured. I can feel the sense of pride in his work through the video. A watch maker holding pieces of watches at different stages of development, asking a patron for feedback with a smile. Looks really happy here 😍 A scene that'll come to mind whenever I think of taking pride in your work, for sure. Thanks for sharing the factory tour with us.
Awesome content guys! Just love how humble Jacob is.
It's just incredible! Thank you for the tour and thanks to Jacob for that opportunity!
Boa Tarde Michael,Que ótimo vídeo,são verdadeiras obras de arte
jacob shady as hell
lol why
Over priced 3d printed shid
😂
Agree with you. Jacob & Co. uses 3rd party company just to make the cases. It’s safe to assume that they also use other contractors to the make the components of their movements, bracelets/straps, etc. of their watches, and the final assembly, waterproof/accuracy testing and packaging. They are not a vertically integrated watch company and don’t have their own factory.
And at the ends he says "now you know what I do for a living" like he polished his watches for 70 hours lol
This was fascinating and great to see the inside workings of the factory.
Jacob a legend dude was selling jewelry to BMF
Yeah BUT Casio uses the same machines & their watches are less than $100
N@@TodaTruth bull... of you take care of it a Casio will outlast any Rolex or Jacob and co
Utterly stunning, anything with Jacob is A+
Something about this Jacob guy seems off
nice so its all outsourced parts. just $5 sapphire rod from China , cnc and polishing machines and 1hr rough edge polishing migrant workers: :( and that machine isn't a million. your local glass factory could make this. all hype most comments here are chatbots
Incredible, what a great informative video that is, and so much patience each employee has. That’s why they cost the money, can’t wait for episode 2.
cnc is hard work
Your videos are priceless!! I really appreciate this! Thanks!! Big thank you!!
You guys are absolutely amazing!!! I’m learning a lot!!!!! Just because of you!
Soo much respect for these guys making these expensive time pieces, the amount of hours for just polishing these cases is mind blowing.
Wow im so very happy for two of you its a lot of fun...and excitement...god bless you both and good luck to all your journey....❤❤❤
Several year ago, I requested you do this for us Michael. Awesome to see you finally were able to make it happen! Many thanks sir!
