Bollywood icon Salman Khan has partnered with renowned luxury watchmaker Jacob & Co. to introduce an exclusive timepiece under The World Is Yours Dual Time Zone collection. This special edition watch is not just a statement of craftsmanship but also a heartfelt tribute to Khan’s father, veteran screenwriter Salim Khan. Designed to embody themes of heritage, family bonds, and global connectivity, the watch holds deep personal significance for the actor.
A friendship turned collaboration
The idea for this collaboration emerged from the strong friendship between Salman Khan and Jacob & Co. founder Jacob Arabo. Both share a profound appreciation for timepieces and a deep understanding of father-son relationships. Khan, an avid collector of luxury watches, has often been spotted wearing Jacob & Co. masterpieces, including the Bugatti Chiron Tourbillon. Inspired by the story behind The World Is Yours collection, Khan felt compelled to create a timepiece that reflected his love and respect for his father.
A symbol of legacy
Speaking about the project, Salman Khan shared, “Time connects us across generations. When I heard Jacob’s story, I knew I wanted to create something that honors my father’s presence in my life. This watch is not just about telling time-it’s about cherishing family, legacy, and the moments that define us.”
Crafted for collectors and world travelers alike, this exclusive timepiece features a sophisticated dual time zone mechanism, allowing independent adjustments for both hour and minute settings. This precision detail is especially valuable for those navigating unique time differences, such as India’s GMT +5:30. A rare attribute in high-end watchmaking, this feature enhances the practicality and appeal of the limited-edition model.
Indian-inspired aesthetics
The watch pays homage to Salman Khan’s Indian heritage with distinctive design elements. The dial incorporates saffron and green accents, subtly reflecting the colors of the Indian flag. The case back features a meticulously laser-engraved world map alongside Khan’s signature, further enhancing its exclusivity. Additionally, the initials “S.K.” are prominently displayed at the 6 o’clock position, adding a personalised touch.
In a nod to Khan’s signature style, the watch is presented in a bespoke box crafted in his favorite shade of turquoise-a direct tribute to his iconic turquoise bracelet, which has become an integral part of his persona.
A collector’s dream
Individually numbered, this special edition timepiece is designed for connoisseurs who value the blend of luxury, storytelling, and fine craftsmanship. With its exceptional mechanics and deeply personal inspiration, the watch stands as a testament to the bond between Salman Khan and his father, as well as his appreciation for timeless elegance.
