Jacob & Co’s global presence and distribution are experiencing an unprecedented acceleration. On May 3rd, Jacob & Co. and the Salujain Group hosted a major gala event to celebrate the official opening of the new stunning Jacob & Co. boutique, situated in Riyadh, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Located on Olaya Street, Riyadh's most prestigious high street and main artery, the 220 sqm outlet flanks Akaria Plaza and is now the largest Jacob & Co. boutique in the world.
 
The boutique stands out in a unique way as it's not tied to a mall, but instead has direct street access and visibility. And some visibility that is : the rounded window with Jacob & Co.'s signature star pattern spans over 40 feet. Opened in partnership with local high jewelry retail specialist Salujain, it ushers in a new presence in one of the most crucial markets for Jacob & Co. : the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

So the experience Salujain has in high jewelry and watchmaking, and their unique position in the country's high society is very precious to us in spreading our message, Inspired by the Impossible.”
 
“At Salujain, we scour the globe to bring the most treasured brands to the region…and Jacob & Co fits our brand legacy in timeless beauty, says Nour Beydoun, CEO of Salujain. Launching our boutique in Riyadh and serving the right market is our first step to develop Jaco & Co. presence in Saudi Arabia.
