Luxury watchmaker Jacob & Co has designed a $1.5 million timepiece featuring a hand-painted figurine of Anant Ambani, son of Indian billionaire Mukesh Ambani. The watch is a tribute to Vantara, Anant Ambani's private wildlife rescue and rehabilitation center in Jamnagar, Gujarat. The bejeweled watch includes sculpted figures of a lion and Bengal tiger around Anant's statue and is made of 397 precious stones.

The watch symbolizes stewardship and responsibility, according to Jacob & Co.
