If your goal is to slip through the day unnoticed, the new Epic X Chrono Messi Full Baguette is definitely NOT for you.

This is the second year that Jacob & Co. has partnered with footballer Lionel Messi on an exclusive collection of limited-edition timepieces. The GOAT is a trend-setter, especially when it comes to watches, and this new unique piece is quite the stunner.

The current collection includes a titanium Epic X Chrono Messi, one model in rose gold, and a white gold and baguette version. Now, this unique piece raises the bar, with just about every available surface set with precious stones.

The 47mm 18K white gold case and lugs are set with total of 141 carats of Baguette Diamonds, with the crowns set with single round diamonds. Even the blue mineral crystal dial is adorned with diamonds, rubies, and sapphires, while the clasp of the open-worked rubber or alligator strap is also set with baguette diamonds.

The diamonds, rubies, and sapphires put this piece in rarified company, as the expert Jacob & Co. diamond-setters are unequaled in the watch and jewelry industry. This is a tour de force of the gem-setting art, as the precious stones complement rather than overwhelm the bold X-shaped style of the Epic X Chrono. The structure of the unique white gold case can still be appreciated, making a statement on your wrist.

Lionel Messi, football’s most prolific goal scorer and arguably the best modern football player, could have chosen any watch company in the world to work with, and he chose Jacob & Co., high watchmaking’s most creative brand. He said to Jacob Arabo, the founder of Jacob & Co., when the partnership was finalized, “I’ll keep trying to do my best on the pitch and together we will realize our vision.”

This long-term partnership between two leaders of their respective fields has already created three limited editions of the Epic X Chrono Messi, incorporating the colors of the flag of Argentina, Messi’s famous number 10, his stylized “M” logo and his signature on the caseback.

Globally praised for his incredible precision and speed in the beautiful game and followed for his trend-setting lifestyle, Messi worked closely with Jacob & Co, giving his personal input and unique trademarks when designing the Epic X Chrono “Messi” Limited Edition.

“At Jacob & Co., we make sure we partner with the best in the world, or we don’t partner at all,” says Jacob Arabo, founder, Jacob & Co. “With Messi and the Epic X Chrono, we have certainly accomplished this.”

This long-term partnership between two leaders of their respective fields has created limited editions and unique pieces based on the Epic X Chrono.

On every timepiece are the blue and white colors of the flag of Argentina, Messi’s home country.

Messi’s famous number 10 is highlighted in red on the bezel, and his stylized “M” logo is at the six o’clock position on the dial. And in an extra-special touch, Messi’s signature is on the exhibition caseback.

Jacob & Co. designed the Epic X to be the true sports watch in its collection, so what better timepiece to dedicate to Lionel Messi?

This timepiece is rough and ready, with built-in shock resistance, water resistance to 200 meters, and a high watchmaking, column-wheel chronograph movement. The bi-compax design features two chronograph subdials on the mineral crystal dial, which shows off the semi-skeletonized movement. An antireflective sapphire crystal protects it all, front and back.

This one-of-a-kind timepiece has the Messi touches, including his logo – the stylized M – on the dial at six o’clock, and his signature on the sapphire glass on the back of the watch.

Lionel Messi knows what it’s like to turn heads everywhere he goes. Wearing this watch, you can too.

The high-quality movement is a Swiss Made column-wheel chronograph movement, partially skeletonized. Controlled by two pushers (start/stop and reset), the seconds are counted by the central chronograph hand and the minutes are clocked by the right-hand subdial.

The 47mm titanium and white gold case features an anti-reflective sapphire crystal, a ceramic bezel and rubber pushers. Water resistant to 200 meters, the case also has a screw-down crown and an inner rotating bezel, controlled by the push-down crown at 10 o’clock. Every available surface of the case and bezel is hand-set with baguette-cut white diamonds.

The Epic X Chrono Messi Full Baguette has a bi-compax layout, with the right subdial for the chronograph minutes and the left subdial for the running seconds. The dial itself is colored mineral crystal, allowing a glimpse into the column-wheel chronograph movement below.

The skeletonized hands complete the see-through character of the dial.

The inner bezel of the Epic X Chrono Messi Full Baguette is set with diamonds and colored gemstones, and the “X” lines on the dial are set with baguette-cut diamonds.
