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 Chrono Tourbillon Baguette is the combination of a staple of watchmaking, the skeleton watch, the radical design approach of Jacob & Co. and its mastery of high jewelry gem-setting. As a result, Epic X Chrono Tourbillon Baguette brunites the movement and the 47-mm case, the complication and the diamonds. Epic X Chrono Tourbillon Baguette on Bracelet is the vehicle of absolute Jacob & Co. creativity. It uses the original Epic X Chrono movement enhanced with a flying tourbillon. The entire case and movement are set with baguette diamonds. And Jacob & Co. has created a dedicated gold bracelet, whose every link is also set with gems. Transparency, structure, high jewelry, high watchmaking, all of Jacob & Co.'s design guidelines are gathered in Epic X Chrono Tourbillon Baguette.

From a creative concept to design inspiration. To the first stroke of a pencil through hundreds of iterations. A timepiece like no other comes to life. Epic X Chrono Tourbillon Baguette paints a picture of everything a Jacob & Co. timepiece may be : daring, lavish, technical and incredibly glowing.

Epic X Chrono Tourbillon Baguette is a case, a movement, a bracelet and gems coming together as one. Designing Epic X Chrono Tourbillon Baguette required a different frame of mind, where everything is ruled by the X, while letting the light in so gems could reflect it fully. Caliber JCAA09 is a self-winding movement fitted with a high-end flying tourbillon and a 2-register chronograph. These two high-end complications are on display on the smoked crystal dial, where they intertwine with the X shape of Epic X. As a result, this dial is highly complex, being both translucent and set with diamonds.

Case, movement, crown and bracelet invisibly-set with 621 baguette-cut gems. One-minute flying tourbillon. Bi-compax chronograph. Skeleton movement. 278 components. 48-hour power reserve. Water-resistant to 200 meters.
