For her Las Vegas F1 Grand Prix appearance, Rihanna chose to wear a unique masterpiece: the Jacob & Co. Watch Anklet — proving yet another innovative way to wear a watch after rocking the Jacob & Co. Brilliant Flying Tourbillon as a choker at Pharrell’s first show at Louis Vuitton. This one-of-a-kind creation seamlessly blends high fashion with creativity, and it’s no surprise that Rihanna personally requested its design.

Arabo has long been known as a trusted jeweler to the stars, from Drake to Jay-Z, because of his unique ability to understand the personal style and preferences of his clients in the entertainment world. His close relationship with Rihanna is a prime example of this — he doesn’t just create jewelry; he acts as a trusted advisor, ensuring that each piece perfectly complements the wearer’s personality and style.

Rihanna has donned Jacob & Co. timepieces and jewelry on several significant occasions, making a statement each time.
