Missed Al Nassr’s AFC Champions League group stage match against Al Duhail, but in return, Cristiano Ronaldo was given a huge super watch worth 2 million USD. The founder and creative director of watch and jewelry brand Jacob & Co, Mr. Jacob Arabo, personally put the lavish Twin Turbo Furious watch on the wrist of striker Al Nassr.
This is considered a consolation for Ronaldo, when the Portuguese star was absent in Al Nassr’s recent 3-2 win over Al Duhail in the 2023/24 AFC Champions League group stage, which took place in the early morning of August 8.
Sharing on Instagram, Jacob Arabo said: “I was in the neighborhood so I decided to come and deliver this special watch to the unique star, Cristiano.”The Twin Turbo was originally launched at Baselworld in 2016. It is recognized as the first watch in history to combine two three-axis tourbillions and a minute repeater. However, that still wasn’t crazy enough for Arabo.
The Twin Turbo Furious, introduced in 2018, went even further, incorporating a single-pusher chronograph and time difference computer. Like all the watches in this product line, the “super product” that Ronaldo just received is an ode to high-performance supercars and their level of mechanical complexity.
Meticulously decorated and assembled by hand, this model consists of approximately 832 components, of which the tourbillon accounts for a total of 104 components but weighs only 1.15 grams.
The 57 mm diameter case of the Twin Turbo Furious is made of 18-carat white gold and set with 344 baguette-cut white diamonds. Specially curved sapphire crystals are featured on the front and back, allowing one to see through the complex movement called the JCFM05, which has an impressive power reserve of 50 hours.
Gray sapphire crystal dial with luminescent hour and minute hands. It is also decorated with a “duct” and “fuel gauge” following the car’s design. The side of the case reveals the lever, which also serves as the crown for the watch. Of course, this watch is limited to only 18 pieces.
