Louis Erard Collaborates with GoS on the Latest Edition of Le Régulateur

In December 2021, Louis Erard and GoS Watches were brought together by Manuel Emch, the visionary behind Louis Erard's strategic revival and creative transformation. He found a kindred spirit in Patrik Sjögren, watchmaker and founder of the Swedish atelier GoS, renowned for its mastery of Damascus steel. 

Together, they envisioned a timepiece that would seamlessly blend the essence of both Maisons: the technical precision and aesthetic refinement of the Swiss Jura, married to the artistry of a Swedish forge, where Damascus steel is meticulously crafted into mesmerizing patterns through an almost alchemical process.

Introducing A Special Edition of Jacob & Co.'s "The World Is Yours" for Salman Khan

Inspired by a shared father-son story, honoring familial bonds

Jacob & Co. is renowned for blending high jewelry with watchmaking, and over the years, the brand has pushed the boundaries of horology, creating groundbreaking complications and visually arresting timepieces. Each release reflects a relentless pursuit of creativity that is clearly looked at behind all the criticism we see online, making the brand a favorite among celebrities and collectors who want something uniquely different.

In 2023, Jacob & Co. introduced The World Is Yours Dual Time Zone as a tribute to the first dual-time watch owned by the brand’s founder, Jacob Arabo, a gift from his father when he was thirteen years old. This piece carried not only an inspiring design but also a profound family legacy. Two years later, the brand unveiled the first evolution of this model, incorporating one of its signature complications, the tourbillon.

Now, Jacob & Co. presents a special edition of The World Is Yours Dual Time Zone for Salman Khan, a beloved icon of Indian cinema. This timepiece honors familial bonds, inspired by a shared father-son story. Just as Jacob Arabo's father gifted him his first dual-time watch, this edition pays homage to Salman Khan's father, legendary Indian screenwriter Salim Khan.

The watch comes in a stainless steel case with the exact dimensions of the original “The World Is Yours”, featuring a 43mm diameter and a 14mm thickness. On the stainless steel caseback, a laser-engraved world map is accompanied by a custom inscription reading "Salman Khan.” Water resistance is rated at 30 meters. The winding crown offers three distinct positions: the first allows for manual winding, the second enables time zone correction for the 6 o’clock sub-dial, and the third adjusts the 12 o’clock time zone.

The domed blue PVD titanium dial is intricately engraved with continents and finished in rose gold. A compass rose sits at the center, while dual sub-dials showcase time zones with orange Roman numerals at 12 o’clock and green Arabic numerals at 6 o’clock, where Salman Khan's initials, "S.K.," replace the number 30.

Powering the watch is the JCAA14 caliber, an automatic movement with a 42-hour power reserve that operates at a frequency of 28,800 vph (4 Hz). The independently adjustable dual time zone complication is ideal for global travelers, especially for non-standard time zone offsets like India’s GMT +5:30.

It comes with a blue alligator leather strap featuring a stainless steel pin buckle. Each piece in this special edition is individually numbered and priced at USD 34,000, approximately AED 125,000.
