Jacob & Co.Opera Godfather Minute Repeater

Jacob & Co. has the exclusive rights, in partnership with Paramount Pictures, to use The Godfather logo and the haunting melody in this amazing Opera timepiece.
The Godfather is widely recognized as one of the top five greatest movies ever made, introducing iconic characters like the Godfather, Michael Corleone, Sonny Corleone, Luca Brasi, Tessio, Clemenza, Johnny Fontaine and more.
The Opera Godfather Minute Repeater honors this movie with its unique styling, its combination of complications, and its ability to play the theme music from The Godfather on demand.
The minute repeater in the Opera Godfather uses two hammers to strike exposed circular gongs to sound out the hours, the quarters of hours, and the minutes. In the Opera Godfather Minute Repeater, the gongs circle above the dial, visible through the large sapphire crystal and rose gold case. This voluminous case enhances the clarity, tone, and richness of the sound of the gongs.
Playing 120 notes, the two cylinders turn against the two, 30-pin combs to produce the beautiful theme music from The Godfather. Manufacturing these small cylinders requires incredible precision, so that the music plays exactly right.
The tourbillon Jacob & Co. uses in the Opera Minute Repeater is anything but a traditional tourbillon. Rather, it is a high-speed triple-axis tourbillon, turning in three minutes on one axis, 48 seconds on the second axis, and 24 seconds on the third. This ballet of high-end mechanics is in constant motion, keeping the timekeeping precise.
