Luxury watchmaker Jacob & Co has unveiled its latest creation inspired by Anant Ambani. Titled ‘Opera Vantara Green Camo', the bespoke timepiece was launched on Jan. 21. The watch serves as a tribute to Vantara, a wildlife conservation initiative in Gujarat, which is led by Anant Ambani. He is the younger son of Reliance Industries Limited chairman and managing director Mukesh Ambani and philanthropist Nita Ambani. The $1.5 million (Rs 13.7 crore) watch features a miniature of Anant Ambani inside the dial. It celebrates his work in protecting wildlife and supporting conservation efforts.

"A story told in miniature. At the centre of the dial, a hand-painted figurine of Anant Ambani anchors the scene, surrounded by finely detailed depictions of a lion and a Bengal tiger. Framed by a green camouflage motif crafted from demantoid garnets, tsavorites, green sapphires, and white diamonds, Opera Vantara Green Camo brings artistry and intention together—one detail at a time," the company posted on Instagram, unveiling the design of the watch.
