South Korean rapper G-Dragon has launched his first timepiece collection in partnership with Jacob & Co.
With 28 baguette white diamonds and 48 multi-colored sapphires, the titanium timepiece reflects the artist's colorful artistry and singular imagination. The dial model is the Astronomia Solar Baguette, of which Jacob & Co. and G-Dragon made a custom-made version using turquoise, the rapper's favorite color. Highlights also include a rose gold dragon wrapped in a white spine, with a ring underneath that reads "The world is mine," in dedication to G-Dragon's message.
The timepieces 288-facets pulls from G-Dragon's favored palette of orange, white, pink and green, while the caseback has engravings that read "Astronomia for G.D." and "Ubermensch" the title of G-Dragon's latest album. The watch retails for a whopping $1 million, but makes a timeless collectable to dedicated G-Dragon fans.
"I’m happy to have the opportunity to collaborate with Jacob & Co., a brand that anyone who has loved hip-hop since they were young knows," he said in a statement. "During the collaboration, I was reminded that watches are products that require complex and delicate craftsmanship, so this collaboration is truly an honor. I would be grateful if everyone shows a lot of interest and enjoys it together."
