Few movies, if any, can live up to the status that The Godfather has achieved. This 1972 blockbuster, featuring Marlon Brando as Don Vito Corleone, also features one of the most memorable theme songs in history. It was written by Italian composer Giovanni "Nino" Rota, and its first few notes are enough to be recognized by people around the world. For Jacob & Co, the movie, but especially the music, was the inspiration for an exceptional watch.

The essence of a watch is keeping accurate time, but that has never stopped watchmakers turning them into more. At Baselworld we were delighted by a few watches that delighted us by motion, music and light!
