When launching the new Epic X collection in 2016, Jacob & Co. ventured into a new direction, with new shapes, new material and a new frame of mind. The inspiration of the design came from the letter X which symbolizes something unknown, mysterious and appealing which was the energy of the brand at the time.
Epic X Ceramic is a fusion of two generations of Epic X. From Epic X Skeleton, it retains the intensely openworked bridges, Jacob & Co.'s modern interpretation of a watchmaking classic. From Epic X Bridges, it retains the sleek, smooth case and bracelet, with its rows of five rectangular links.
Ceramic provides Epic X Ceramic with unique light and very special properties. It's completely hypoallergenic. It will feel comfortable on everyone's wrist, no matter the weather. It's also extremely hard to scratch. Epic X Ceramic will retain its polished appearance for several years.

Epic X Ceramic is a case and a movement coming together as one. Designing Epic X Ceramic required a different frame of mind, where everything is ruled by the X, while letting the light in.
The four lugs on Epic X Ceramic are unique. Their shape, their inclination, their edges are a true Epic X Ceramic signature. They are a continuation of the exclusive skeleton movement. It is structured around two openworked bridges and the framing of a vast amount of void.
