Product overview

Everything worth knowing.

A detailed, evidence-led view of the product—not a generic sales summary.

Palatial Classic Big Date is the one Jacob & Co. collection that pays a clear tribute to watchmaking classics. The elegant 42-mm case is elevated by its curved and gracious lug design, turning Palatial Classic Big Date into an everyday-wear timepiece. The choice of a slim case with contained dimensions goes hand in hand with a sense of symmetry, where the large date balances the power reserve indicator at 6 o'clock. Palatial Classic Big Date is further elevated by a wide selection of dials. These dials are delicate ornaments, under the sapphire crystal, chosen among the most lavish and refined materials made available from For Him: hard stones. Blue Lapis Lazuli, green Malachite and black Onyx offer their unique patterns and sheen to the polished allure of the collection. Caliber JCAM52 is in a class of its own in the Jacob & Co. collection. The large date and power reserve indication sit on top of a finely executed movement, chosen for its reliability. Developed in a hand-wound version, it does away with self-winding in order to shave off a precious few millimeters. This slimness is reflected in the overall design of Palatial Classic Big Date. Caliber JCAM52 offers a classic combination of complications, aiming to be both symmetrical and effectively useful on a daily basis. Readability, availability and thoroughness of information are the very basics of watchmaking, the same ones that have inspired Palatial Classic Big Date. Right under the dial, a pair of discs indicate the date. One is dedicated to the tens, the other to the units. Once properly coordinated, they work in unison to display the date in a larger window, in a large font, resulting in optimal readability. A hand-wound movement requires a little upkeep: it has to be wound before its power reserve is fully exhausted. The power reserve indicator is a precious instrument when it comes to wearing Palatial Classic Big Date. Once the hand gets too close to zero, it's time to wind the crown and fill the proverbial tank. With a Lapis Lazuli dial. Large date with double disc at 12 o'clock.
