Following up on the enduring appeal of the 47-mm versions, Jacob & Co. went on to create a 44-mm Epic X Chrono. This alternative case size opens up the Epic X Chrono to a new crowd, seduced by Jacob & Co.'s unique design features in a universally wearable, definitely unisex format. 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 Chrono 44MM is the high function of Epic X with an extra dose of elegance. A natural step in the complication and design direction, Epic X Chrono 44MM retains all the core elements of its namesake collection, and takes them all one level higher. A level that the chronograph perfectly represents.
The crown guards, the pusher protectors, the X shape that runs from the lugs through the dial, the skeleton parts, they all embody the transformation of Epic X into a sports chronograph with a sense of material exclusivity and a refined state of mind.

Epic X Chrono 44MM requires a movement that brings all the energy of Epic X and takes it up one notch. Caliber JCAA05 is a self-winding chronograph with two registers, a configuration called bi-compax. The classic movement architecture, with horizontal clutch, column wheel and two pushers is interpreted in a sporty fashion.
The case is engineered to shield every protruding part. The crown, the pushers, the countdown crown are all inserted in pieces that come out of the case's round shape. Both pusher guards are echoed on the other side of the case for perfect symmetry. This ruggedness is further enhanced by the case's water-resistance to 200 meters.

THE CHRONOGRAPH
The pusher at 2 o'clock starts and stops the timing function. This sequence can be activated at will, with no necessary end. Elapsed time is shown with the central seconds hand and the 30-minute register at 3 o'clock on the dial. Once the timing sequence is over, the 4 o'clock pusher resets all the hands. Epic X Chrono 44MM is ready for the next timing.

THE SELF-WINDING MOVEMENT
A practical sports chronograph is a self-winding chronograph. Caliber JCAA05 is fitted with a rotor that automatically winds its power source. Its signature shape is directly inspired by the X that makes Epic X. It's visible to the naked eye thanks to a see-through caseback.
