Jacob & Co unveils exclusive timepieces in collaboration with Manchester City
Jacob & Co is one of the most recognized luxury watchmakers for its horological expertise, as well as its use of high-end materials in crafting great complications. Each masterpiece has made its benchmark around the world and became a true collector’s item, just like the Billionaire Timeless Treasure watch which fused high jewellery and horology together and was only available in a limited release of 21 pieces.
In hopes of creating yet another memorable collection, the Maison unveils a new local partnership with Manchester City, an England-based football club that competes in the Premier League. This collaboration includes a total of three new limited-edition timepieces that are each inspired by the team’s colours, while bearing impressive complications created by Jacob & Co.
The collection includes the Epic X Sport Edition Manchester City, a brand-new model from the Maison. This timepiece is made of 41-mm titanium and is powered by the automatic Jacob & Co JCHA01 Calibre movement with a 70-hour power reserve.
It also features light-blue aluminium accents to honour Manchester City’s colours and a rhodium dial with a diamond-shaped pattern that highlights its logo. The sapphire crystal back, on the hand, features a custom inscription that reads, “The best team in the land and all the world.”
The collaborative collection also includes premium editions of the Epic X Chrono 44 line, which features the Skeleton Bi-Compax Chronograph Self-Winding Jacob&Co JCAA05 Calibre movement. These editions both have a 48-hour power reserve and are available in Rose Gold/Blue Ceramic and full Rose Gold. The timepieces also feature the same Manchester City light blue colours and bear the same custom inscription at the case back.
“Our fandom in the sports world continues to grow tremendously, especially in football. This partnership is the perfect opportunity for Manchester City fans to experience our ultra-premium custom products while representing their favorite city, team, and players,” says Jacob & Co’s chief executive officer Benjamin Arabov.
The Epic X Sport Edition Manchester City will only be available in a limited release of 250 pieces. On the other hand, the Epic X Chrono 44 Edition Manchester City in Rose Gold/Blue Ceramic and Epic X Chrono 44 Edition Manchester City in full Rose Gold are limited to 30 pieces and 20 pieces respectively.
