Jacob & Co. Presents Unique Gates of Olympus Watch Inspired by the Pragmatic Play Slot
Swiss watch brand Jacob & Co. has unveiled a new model in its Astronomia line — Gates of Olympus. The watch has been produced as a one-of-a-kind piece, and both its name and visual concept directly echo Pragmatic Play’s slot of the same name, which was released in 2022.
At the centre of the concept is the image of Zeus, familiar to players from Gates of Olympus. In the watch, this motif has been transformed into a showcase of high-end mechanics and jewellery craftsmanship: the case is set with baguette diamonds weighing more than 9 carats in total, while Zeus’s eyes and lightning bolt are illuminated with Super-LumiNova. In the dark, these elements are meant to create the same “charged” lightning effect — only not on a slot screen, but inside the Astronomia case.
Another notable detail is the dial placement. According to the brand, this is the first time in the Astronomia line that the dial has been positioned entirely above the movement. For Jacob & Co., that is a significant move: the series is already built around a complex construction and an open-worked mechanism, but Gates of Olympus shifts the visual focus even more strongly toward a decorative scene.
The result is a rare crossover between luxury watchmaking and iGaming culture. Pragmatic Play has long since turned Gates of Olympus into one of the most recognizable slots of recent years, and Jacob & Co. has effectively brought its symbolism into the world of collector-level objects. Not as mass-market merch, not as an ordinary branded collaboration, but as a one-off watch with diamonds and an intricate presentation.
For the gambling industry, this release is just as interesting as it is for watch fans. A slot that began as a digital game with a mythological setting now has its reflection in a physical luxury object. And that clearly shows just how far individual iGaming brands and game imagery can travel beyond casino screens.
