Jacob & Co. Astronomia Solar G-Dragon: A Horological Masterpiece Of Art And Identity

When Jacob & Co. Astronomia Solar G-Dragon debuted in Seoul, marking an unprecedented fusion of haute horlogerie and contemporary culture. This collaboration between Jacob & Co. and the K-pop icon reimagines one of the maison’s most audacious complications — the Astronomia Solar — through the lens of G-Dragon’s artistic identity and his fashion imprint, PEACEMINUSONE.

G-Dragon and the PEACEMINUSONE Aesthetic

G-Dragon\'s fashion label, PEACEMINUSONE, represents a unique philosophy: bridging utopian ideals with reality, symbolised by its signature daisy motif.

G-Dragon, born Kwon Ji-yong, is a global music sensation and a cultural architect. His fashion label, PEACEMINUSONE, represents a unique philosophy: bridging utopian ideals with reality, symbolised by its signature daisy motif. This flower, at once delicate and subversive, signifies peace, freedom, and individuality — themes G-Dragon has championed throughout his career. Incorporating this motif into the Astronomia Solar reflects not only personal symbolism but also a statement of artistic continuity across mediums.

Reinterpreting The Astronomia Solar

Jacob & Co. Astronomia Solar G-Dragon: a 47mm 18k rose gold watch with a sapphire dome, featuring a three-axis movement, hand-painted Earth, citrine Sun, and a sculpted dragon symbolizing strength

At the core of this creation lies Jacob & Co.’s avant-garde design language. The Jacob & Co. Astronomia Solar G-Dragon features a 47mm case in 18k rose gold, capped with a striking sapphire crystal dome. The three-axis gravitational movement—a hallmark of the Astronomia line — takes centre stage, its components in perpetual motion. Orbiting on the signature platform are three satellites: the time display, a hand-painted Earth, and a sparkling citrine representing the Sun. Around this kinetic stage coils a meticulously sculpted 18k rose gold dragon with ruby-set eyes, representing strength and power, an emblematic nod to G-Dragon himself.

The making of Jacob & Co. Astronomia Solar G-Dragon

Interwoven into this dynamic architecture is the PEACEMINUSONE daisy, delicately positioned amid the celestial display. This small yet powerful emblem injects a layer of personal identity into the watch, making it a  wearable art that narrates a story.

Rarity, Exclusivity, And Engraved Philosophy

Only nine pieces of the Jacob & Co. Astronomia Solar G-Dragon exist globally, with three reserved exclusively for Korea. Retailing at approximately USD 1 million, this limited edition is as rare as it is opulent. For collectors and connoisseurs, this is not just an investment in horology but a piece of cultural history—where high-end watchmaking intersects with the global influence of G-Dragon.

The caseback bears two engravings: “The World Is Mine” and “Übermensch.”

Beyond its visual spectacle, the watch speaks in words. The caseback bears two engravings: “The World Is Mine” and “Übermensch.” These phrases, deeply symbolic, mirror G-Dragon’s ethos of empowerment and transcendence, aligning with the Nietzschean ideal of self-overcoming. This makes the timepiece not just a watch but an intimate reflection of G-Dragon’s identity, ambitions, and worldview.

Why It Matters

For Jacob & Co., this collaboration reinforces their position as a brand unafraid to blur boundaries between luxury, art, and pop culture. For G-Dragon, it is another manifestation of his multifaceted creativity, solidifying his status as a trendsetter not just in music and fashion, but now in horology.
