AS MANY OF US DO, I love Batman. The Caped Crusader first caught my imagination when I was a child and continues to do so well into my adulthood.
But one thing I think we overlook about Bruce Wayne and his secret identity is that he isn’t just the world’s greatest detective; he might possibly, with the help of one Alfred Pennyworth, also be the world’s greatest scientist and engineer. Think about it. He’s crafted countless gizmos and gadgets, engineered numerous bat-themed vehicles (I didn’t say he was the world’s subtlest engineer), and built a whole frickin’ bat cave/ crimefighting HQ underneath his home.
Over the years, many watchmakers have tried to incorporate the spirit of Batman and Wayne into their works, ranging from cutesy children’s watches to adult timepieces with iconic Batman comic book scenes printed onto their dials. Jacob & Co. takes a novel, innovative approach in the Jacob & Co. Gotham City – a 45.5mm Batman-themed watch filled with details, complications and Easter eggs inspired by DC Comics’ Dark Knight.
