Jacob & Co.’s announcement confirmed retail began at $220,000. Those are historical launch prices, not verified current asking prices.
What is the Jacob & Co. Gotham City watch?
Gotham City was introduced as the first watch in Jacob & Co.’s multi-year partnership with Warner Bros. Consumer Products and DC. The Batman-themed design draws on the character’s equipment, while its two versions connect Batman with Bruce Wayne.
Jacob & Co.’s March 14, 2022 announcement describes a 45.5 mm case and a bat-shaped onyx dial outlined in yellow. The crown has a rubber ring, and the two models differ in case material and caseback treatment.
Launch prices and the two versions
| Version | Case material and association | Launch price | Caseback |
|---|---|---|---|
| Black DLC titanium | Black DLC titanium; associated with Batman | $220,000, reported by Monochrome Watches in 2022 | Batman drawing, according to Jacob & Co. |
| Rose gold | 18K rose gold; associated with Bruce Wayne | $240,000, reported by Monochrome Watches in 2022 | Transparent sapphire, according to Jacob & Co. |
Jacob & Co. announced a total edition of 72 watches: 36 in black DLC titanium and 36 in 18K rose gold. Its announcement said retail began at $220,000; Monochrome Watches supplied the variant-specific launch prices above. No current stock, dealer asking price, or resale value is established here, so neither launch figure should be treated as today’s price.

Movement and technical details
The hand-wound JCFM10 calibre contains 382 components and powers twin flying, sequential, high-speed triple-axis tourbillons. Jacob & Co. lists their rotation times as 24, 48, and 180 seconds, and gives the movement a 48-hour power reserve. Monochrome Watches’ launch coverage also reports the main movement specifications.
Case-size discrepancy
Jacob & Co.’s March 14, 2022 announcement specifies a 45.5 mm case. A separate product specification page lists 46 mm for the rose-gold model. Because the official announcement is the primary source and the other listing gives a slightly different figure, 45.5 mm is the maker’s announced size; the 46 mm figure should be understood as a discrepancy in that separate listing, not a settled alternative specification.
Quick Recap
Rank #4
- Officially licensed Joker product
- High quality design
- Satisfaction guaranteed
- Great gift idea!
Rank #3
- SNIKT! The first X-Men watch in the Marvel | Citizen Collection is Wolverine (alias: Logan, birth name: James Howlett). This ageless mutant with animal senses, super-human strength, and healing powers is dramatically represented on the blue dial by his lethal retractable claws that are fully luminous.
- A yellow outer ring, silver-tone markers, and luminous hands and the X-Men logo at 12 o’clock complete the striking look. The case back is etched with the Wolverine logo and “SNIKT!,” the fearsome sound of his claws busting out.
- The 43mm case and bracelet are fashioned from black ion-plated stainless steel (not adamantian, which is fictional), and the boxed set comes with a matching collectible pin.
- Unlike Wolverine, who can be fueled by berserker rage, this watch is powered by light with Eco-Drive technology and never needs a battery. 2023 MARVEL

- A new Marvel | Citizen Spider-Man watch has swung into town. The Miles Morales timepiece is a stunning showcase for the teen Super Hero and science prodigy from Brooklyn who has the power to produce bio-electrical charges at will.
- The character’s logo and luminous hands and markers adorn the deep black dial, while the 42mm black IP stainless steel case features distinctive arachnid-style lugs.
- Red contrast stitches are a striking detail on the black leather strap, and the case back features a colorful insert that encourages you to “Find Your Power.”
- No need to worry about that with this watch: it’s powered by any light with Citizen’s proprietary Eco-Drive technology and never needs a battery.
