Jacob & Co Unveils ₹14 Crore Vantara-Themed Watch Featuring Anant Ambani Figurine
Ultra-luxury timepiece pays homage to Ambani family’s private zoo and conservation efforts.
Jacob & Co has unveiled an extraordinary bespoke watch inspired by Vantara, the private animal rescue and conservation initiative run by the Ambani family. Valued at approximately $1.5 million (around ₹13–14 crore), the one-of-a-kind timepiece stands out as one of the most expensive and personalised watches ever created.
At the heart of the dial sits a meticulously hand-painted figurine of Anant Ambani, seated on a chair and flanked by finely sculpted representations of a lion and a Bengal tiger. This design directly reflects Vantara’s focus on wildlife protection and the young industrialist’s deep involvement in the project. The background adopts a striking green camouflage motif, enhancing the thematic connection to nature and conservation.
The watch is crafted entirely in white gold and lavishly adorned with hundreds of precious stones. These include rare green gemstones and brilliant diamonds, each hand-set with exceptional precision to create a miniature artistic masterpiece rather than a purely functional timekeeper. Every element—from the painted figurines to the intricate gem placement—underscores the unparalleled level of custom craftsmanship typical of Jacob & Co’s high-end commissions.

The launch has ignited conversations in luxury circles about India’s rising influence in global high-end horology. It showcases how the country’s wealthiest families are commissioning statement pieces that fuse personal legacy, philanthropy, and opulent design—further cementing India’s place in the world of extreme luxury.
