In Monaco, beneath the final light of a Mediterranean summer, two international luminaries - Loewe Technology and Jacob & Co. - unveiled an unprecedented collaboration that merges acoustic innovation with the meticulous artistry of high jewellery. The setting: an exclusive event aboard the Loewe Yacht, a D55 Sportiva masterpiece designed by Studio Dini and constructed entirely in aluminium by Tankoa Yachts S.p.A. Contracted in 2022 and flying the Maltese flag, the yacht embodies contemporary design and refined Italian craftsmanship, evoking the same materials and sensibilities that Loewe is known for.
In this carefully curated environment, guests including Kylian Mbappé, Tom Claeren, Jeetendr Sehdev and others were introduced to a vision that is as technically ambitious as it is aesthetically daring. The collaboration between Loewe Technology - renowned for German engineering precision and acoustic innovation - and Jacob & Co. - a global leader in high jewellery and bold timepieces - has resulted in a limited edition collection of handcrafted headphones that redefine the meaning of luxury audio.
The Loewe x Jacob & Co. Bespoke Limited Edition comprises just ten creations worldwide, each a sculptural work of audio art, designed to be seen, felt, and heard. These headphones fuse high-resolution audio engineering with the brilliance of jewellery design, presenting a sensory object where function and form coalesce. Fully handcrafted, the headphones are imbued with both the technical depth of Loewe’s acoustic mastery and the aesthetic vision of Jacob & Co.’s jewellery heritage. They offer an immersive, refined listening experience that combines advanced active noise cancellation, intelligent AI integration, real-time translation, and voice assistant capability - hallmarks of Loewe’s commitment to shaping the future of smart sound.
Aslan Khabliev, CEO and Owner of Loewe Technology, and Jacob Arabo, Chairman and CEO of Jacob & Co., stated jointly: “This innovative project honors both heritage and forward-thinking design. Our collaboration is unique and exclusive, bringing together two worlds that, at their core, serve the same discerning clientele. By uniting Jacob & Co.’s artistry in high jewellery and timepieces with Loewe’s mastery in acoustic precision, technology and design, we are shaping experiences that are not only luxurious but also seamlessly connected to modern lifestyles. This partnership symbolizes the craftsmanship and values shared by both our Maisons, redefining what it means to merge technology with art.”
Each of the two design editions - Noir Rainbow and Ice Diamond - presents an extraordinary expression of technical and artistic excellence. Noir Rainbow features a handcrafted 14K rose gold ring set with 15.97 carats of expertly matched multicolour sapphires. Ice Diamond is cast in 14K white gold, weighing 42.5 grams and adorned with 12.47 carats of radiant white diamonds, including 456 brilliant-cut stones. The sculptural surface of each headphone is etched with geometric lines that catch and refract light, echoing the poetic language of both modern design and traditional craftsmanship.
These are not mere accessories - they are limited edition masterpieces, with only five of each creation available worldwide. This rarity ensures that each owner is part of an exclusive group, whose possession signifies not just taste, but participation in a new cultural movement at the intersection of sound, art, and technology. They are objects of experience and belonging, created for those who value precision as much as passion.
Technological performance is matched with aesthetic brilliance: high-resolution sound, expert tuning for immersive listening, adaptive active noise cancellation responsive to real-time ambient changes, AI-powered features including voice assistant and translation, up to 65 hours of battery life, and materials of the highest quality - from anodised aluminium to genuine leather and gold.
This launch marks a defining moment in Loewe’s evolution. Founded in 1923 and widely recognized for inventing electronic television in 1931, Loewe has long represented the highest standards of luxury consumer electronics. With more than 200 employees and operations in over 50 countries, Loewe Technology GmbH remains at the forefront of innovation. Its production site in Kronach, Germany, continues to be a symbol of the company’s dedication to craftsmanship, engineering excellence, and sustainable manufacturing.
Jacob & Co., founded in New York in 1986, has built a global legacy of pushing boundaries in haute jewellery and horology. Known for bold, technically daring creations that blend art and extravagance, the brand is a natural partner for this new category of experiential luxury.
As the Loewe Yacht sailed along the Riviera, lit by the warm dusk of the Mediterranean, the collaboration between these two houses stood as a testament to what is possible when innovation meets imagination. More creations are expected to follow in September 2025 - but the message is already clear: with Loewe x Jacob & Co., luxury has found a new frequency.
