As a global fashion and music icon, G-Dragon never fails to set everything into a global trend. This was no exception at the grand opening of Jacob & Co.’s first boutique in South Korea on February 24, 2025.
But his appearance wasn’t the only thing that stole the spotlight. He also unveiled an ultra-exclusive timepiece, a collaboration between G-Dragon and Jacob & Co., that instantly became a highly sought-after masterpiece. Produced in an extremely limited run of just nine pieces worldwide, only three have been allocated specifically for South Korea.
In an Instagram Story shared on his personal account, @xxxibgdrgn, G-Dragon offered a first glimpse of the timepiece, showcasing a design rich with personal symbolism. A signature element of his brand, PEACEMINUSONE, is embedded in the subdial, a daisy with a missing petal positioned at 8 o’clock. This detail is far from random; the number 8 is considered luck in Korean and broader Asian culture, and it also holds deep personal significance as G-Dragon’s birthdate is 8/18/88.
This watch immediately captured the attention of collectors, as Jacob & Co. is renowned for blending avant-garde aesthetics with extraordinary craftsmanship, making this collaboration an ultra-rare fusion of high horology and personal artistry.
This momentous release coincided with the grand opening of Jacob & Co.’s very first boutique in South Korea, located in Dosan-daero, Gangnam. Founded in 1986 by Jacob Arabo, the brand has cemented its status as a powerhouse in luxury watchmaking. Known for pushing the boundaries of design and mechanics, Jacob & Co. has introduced legendary collections like the Astronomia, Opera Godfather, and Bugatti Tourbillon—each combining high jewelry with technical mastery.
Now, the question is: would you want to be one of the six remaining collectors to own this rare and exclusive timepiece?
