Like stars revealing themselves in all their glory at night, or nocturnal creatures that only howl at the moon, the Ghost Collection, from Swiss luxury watchmaker Jacob & Co's G5 Series, emerges from darkness to the delight of the wearer.
With the press of a button, the 47mm diameter Ghost collection lights up, displaying the day and date in five different time zones. Its pentagonal case pays tribute to the Five Timezones watch. Pressing each crown individually illuminates one time zone, while pressing longer at the upper right corner of the pentagon lights up all five time zones in 32 colours from yellow to blue to red.
Like a ghost that can take on various beautiful guises, the mysterious timepieces of the Ghost Collection are equipped with an interchangeable bezel from carbon fibre to 18kt rose gold to black PVD.
Another novelty from the G5 Series is the Grand Collection, which his water resistant up to 50 metres.
Like the iconic Five Timezones watch, timepieces from the collection showcase local time and the time in four reference cities from around the world, each being commercial and cultural centres that never sleep. What distinguishes the Grand Collection from its predecessor is it displays the local time on a dial of the same dimensions as the other time zones, translating into the uncommon pentagonal shape of the watch. Timepieces from the Grand Collection feature a 47mm diameter case, the Swiss quartz ETA 9560112 movement and a freely moving central rotor.
Besides the Grand Collection and the Ghost Collection, the G5 Series, which is popular among people who are well-travelled, also comes with the new Galega and Global Collections.
