"Jacob & Co. Opera Godfather is a timepiece with its own distinction and fanfare. It features a high-end complication and state-of-the-art movement, which comprises a music box with two cylindrical barrels that plays the theme from The Godfather on demand. When the music is activated, the watch's movement and the triple-axis tourbillon rotate, creating a mindboggling display for the horologists and movie buffs to appreciate."
"Designer Pedro Costa of eponymous Costa Design Studio is highly regarded for his interesting handmade luxury sculptures and functional art pieces that particularly include sculptural tables inspired by timepieces and lamps that share their design cues with aeronautics. The new iteration, the Godfather Sculpture Table clearly inspired by collectors' favorite watch, which can now become part of your home and wrist."
Jacob & Co. and Costa Design Studio collaborated to create a Godfather Sculpture Table inspired by the Opera Godfather watch. The table incorporates a mechanical movement and a music box with two cylindrical barrels that plays The Godfather theme on demand. Activation causes the movement and a triple-axis tourbillon-inspired mechanism to rotate, producing a kinetic spectacle. Designer Pedro Costa translated watch design cues into a large functional sculpture measuring 135 x 80 x 76 cm and weighing 170 kg. The piece is limited to 20 examples and carries a price of $300,000. The table blurs boundaries between art, furniture, and horology.
