The Brazilian football superstar has added another wonderful creation from Jacob & Co to his personal collection, choosing the Astronomia Baguette Dragon and Tiger during a recent visit to the brand's New York boutique.

At its centre are two hand-sculpted figures, a dragon and a tiger, representing strength, courage, wisdom and balance. Every detail has been designed to transform the watch into a miniature sculpture in constant motion.
The latest acquisition further strengthens Neymar's long-standing relationship with Jacob & Co, a brand known for creating some of the world's most technically ambitious and visually distinctive watches. Over the years, the football star has often been spotted wearing the company's bold creations, making him one of its most recognised collectors.
Sharing the moment on social media, Jacob & Co revealed that Neymar personally visited its New York boutique to select his next watch ahead of what the brand described as "the world's biggest stage this summer." Alongside the Astronomia Baguette Dragon and Tiger, he also chose a selection of high jewellery pieces, each reflecting the house's signature blend of craftsmanship and artistic design.
The Astronomia collection has become one of Jacob & Co's defining creations, celebrated for turning complex watchmaking into a moving display of mechanical art. Within this universe, the dragon has emerged as one of the brand's most iconic symbols, representing creativity, power and technical mastery. Sculpted with remarkable precision, the mythical creature showcases the level of artistry that has become synonymous with the collection.
For Jacob & Co, Neymar's latest purchase is another reminder of how luxury watchmaking continues to find fans beyond traditional collectors. As athletes increasingly embrace rare timepieces as expressions of personal style, watches like the Astronomia Dragon and Tiger stand at the intersection of engineering, jewellery and modern luxury.
