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 Baguette is the high function, high sports, high jewelry evolution of Epic X. A natural step in the complication and design direction, Epic X Chrono Baguette retains all the core elements of its namesake collection, and takes them all one level higher. A level that the chronograph perfectly represents, a level that an extensive setting of baguette-cut diamonds personifies. The multi-parts case construction allows a unique diversity of materials and different levels of gem-setting, each bringing its own style, luxury and energy into the mix. The mineral, colored, translucent dial gives a peek onto its core components. The same material is used on the case back to reveal the winding rotor, with its signature Jacob & Co. shape.
