Jacob & Co. Unveils New Epic X
While Jacob & Co. is known for some of the most mechanically complex and visually spectacular high quality replica watches of the past decade, such as the Astronomia and Twin Turbo Furious, the brand has also produced a watch that is more attuned to the pace of everyday life in the form of the time-only Epic X.
Introduced in 2015, the Epic X was originally designed by French jewelry and watch designer Benjamin Muller, founder of independent watch brand M. Benjamin, and later re-licensed by Jacob & Co. Originally known as the Spyder in the M. Benjamin collection, the Epic X features striking sloping lugs that extend from the bezel to the strap like the legs of a spider. Now, at Geneva Watch Days, Jacob & Co. has unveiled a new generation of the Epic X, with subtle but important design tweaks to the case and dial.
Previously, the entire case featured contrasting brushed and mirrored finishes. The spider lugs have a raised polished edge, while the satin-brushed bezel has a wide polished bevel. The bezel and lugs are now smooth and fully polished, making them look fuller and the watch stand out more on the wrist. This effect is further amplified by its massive 44mm case, available in rose gold, stainless steel or black DLC. It is paired with an equally striking five-link bracelet with polished chamfered links, but is still available with its signature honeycomb rubber strap. luxury replica watches
Another update that makes its profile even bolder is the crown guard, which extends further from the bezel. The crown itself has also been redesigned with a two-tiered fluted tip, while the crown tube is covered in colored aluminum.
Powering the Epic X is the very light, skeletonized Caliber JCAM45 developed by Concepto. This movement was carefully designed from the outset to be a skeletonized movement. It features a skeletonized barrel, secured by a separate bridge, which allows the winding status to be estimated based on the coils of the mainspring. Jacob & Co. Bugatti Chiron
As with most skeleton watches, the barrel and balance wheel are vertically aligned. However, to provide an unobstructed view of the balance wheel below, the gear train does not cross the central axis of the movement. Instead, it is moved to the left, with the pinion above the movement's second wheel driving the cannon directly in the movement. This opens up the dial to allow a full view of the escapement and balance wheel. At the same time, the movement is completely exposed, with a pair of vertical bridges decorated with Paris hobnail patterns at either end. replica Richard Mille Felipe Massa
One noteworthy detail on the back is an octopus-shaped spring with three elegantly curved blades. It serves as a positioning spring for the setting and clutch levers in the keyless mechanism, as well as a pawl spring that tensions the winding pawl.
The smooth and evenly polished surface helps to highlight the lines of the watch, creating a more gorgeous visual effect, repositioning the watch in the brand's minimalist watchmaking language, as led by its top watches. replica Franck Muller watches
The movement's construction is actually very light, but this effect is weakened by a pair of vertical bridges that highlight the vertical arrangement of the barrel and balance wheel, visually connect the lugs, and bring a sense of texture to the highly polished case. However, Jacob & Co. assures that they may be skeletonized in the future like the original. For now, it all gives this watch a strong and confident character, which, if judged by Astronomia's standards, could be a casual, everyday sports buy replica Watches.
