Let’s talk about wrist candy. You know, the kind that doesn’t just tell time but announces your presence like a royal trumpet. Imagine strolling into a room, casually lifting your arm, and blinding everyone with the glint from your watch. Well, Jacob Arabo, the founder of Jacob and Co, has taken that concept to an entirely new level.

A Casio G-Shock. Simple, sturdy, and the epitome of practical timekeeping. Now, throw all that out the window and reimagine it drenched in 18-carat white gold, adorned with 16.50 carats of diamonds, and finished off with a bold pink rubber strap and dial. Yes, you read that right—a pink strap. It’s like pairing a tuxedo with sneakers, but if the sneakers were designed by the gods of bling.

Jacob Arabo, known for turning the ordinary into the extraordinary, has collaborated with fashion icon Nigo to create this one-of-a-kind masterpiece. This isn’t just a watch; it’s a statement piece. It says, “I’m here, I’m fabulous, and I might just blind you with my wrist.” And oh, did I mention it sold at auction for a cool $22,500? That’s right, this little gem fetched a price tag that could buy you a decent car, a round-the-world trip, or roughly 1,125 standard G-Shocks.

Let’s break it down: You’ve got 18-carat white gold—because who wants regular old gold, right? Then, there’s the small matter of 16.50 carats of diamonds. It’s the kind of bling that makes you wonder if Jacob and Co. secretly bought a diamond mine. Finally, the pink rubber strap. It’s the perfect touch of rebellious flair, saying, “I’m luxurious, but I also know how to have fun.” It’s like the watch equivalent of wearing a tuxedo with neon sneakers.

Now, I love my G-Shock. It’s reliable and rugged, and it cost me less than a fancy dinner. But compared to Jacob Arabo’s creation, it’s like bringing a pocket knife to a lightsaber fight. His version is the kind of watch that makes you feel like you should be attending a diamond-studded gala, even if you’re just grabbing coffee. So, next time you check the time on your humble watch, just remember: somewhere out there, Jacob Arabo is flexing with a G-Shock that’s worth more than your entire wardrobe. And honestly, we wouldn’t have it any other way. Keep on shining, Jacob. Keep on shining.
