The Godfather Movie Clock: The Opera Godfather by Jacob & Company
The perfect watch does exist, especially for fans of Francis Ford Coppola’s masterpiece, The Godfather, one of the greatest films of all time. The result of a collaboration between Jacob & Co. and Paramount Pictures, it is a minute repeater integrated with a two-cylinder music box that plays the first 120 notes of the film’s theme. As if that wasn’t enough, the Godfather of the Opera minute repeater also integrates a three-axis tourbillon.
As Paramount’s first cooperation with a watch company, copyright transfer is not easy. In the end, however, the musical license and logos are brought to life in this collection for generations to come.
Its core integrates the JCFM07 movement composed of 758 parts, the time display sub-dial and the three-axis gravity tourbillon that rotates simultaneously, the first axis rotates every 180 seconds, the second axis 48 seconds, and the third axis rotates once. 24 seconds later. Likewise, the weight of 104 tourbillon components is 1.15 grams, with an average weight of 0.11 grams per tourbillon component, which brings greater precision to the cheap replica watches.

First, the film’s logo is presented on a black-lacquered 18-carat gold plate, as well as a hand-painted black-lacquered piano replica. the best? As expected, on the piano is the image of Don Corleone, played by Marlo Brando.
In addition to expressing the impressive theme aesthetically and sonically, the two cylinders of the diamond minute repeater barrel are cast in 18K rose gold and paved with 666 round brilliant-cut diamonds.
If you’re a fake luxury watches lover, you know: the minute repeater is a complication that few brands have mastered. In this model, he strikes the hours, quarters and minutes using two hammers striking a circular gong.
Thanks to the generous pink gold case, the sound of the gongs, which rotate on the dial and can be admired through the sapphire crystal, are reproduced even more clearly.
Even better, since the 44-hour power reserve is separate from the music box, music can be played three times before being wound up again.
There’s no question that any production that carries on The Godfather’s legacy has to be masterful. That’s how Jacob & Co. set out to create a piece that was both technically and aesthetically up to par, and they succeeded.
