About the Jacob & Co. Epic X Collection
The Epic X collection, launched in 2015, quickly became a hallmark of Jacob & Co.’s innovative spirit and bold design. Defined by the striking “X” motif, which symbolises mystery and allure, the collection reflects their daring approach to contemporary watchmaking. By 2022, the Epic X underwent a significant transformation at Geneva Watch Days, introducing new materials and refined craftsmanship across five distinct versions. With its iconic X-shaped lugs and skeletonised dials, the Epic X perfectly balances elegance and innovation, showcasing the brand’s commitment to luxury watchmaking.
Timeless Designs And Precision Engineering
The 2022 Epic X collection retains its signature X-shaped case, with angular lugs that seamlessly integrate into the bezel for a refined, cohesive design. The high-polished stainless steel and rose gold versions exude luxury, while the stainless steel model features blue aluminium accents on the inner bezel, bridges, and crown base. A newly designed five-link bracelet with angular profiles adds to its modern appeal. All Epic X models share common specifications, including a 44mm case diameter and a thickness of 13.05mm. Powered by the hand-wound calibre JCAM45, recognised for its skeletonised vertical construction, the collection operates at 28,800 vph with a 48-hour power reserve. The 2022 update introduces Clous de Paris-textured bridges and redesigned crown guards, elevating the collection’s sophistication.
Honouring Heritage: The Epic X India Edition
India holds significant promise for Jacob & Co., inspiring the brand to create exclusive limited editions in collaboration with Ethos. The Epic X India Edition showcases four iconic monuments—Taj Mahal, India Gate, Gateway of India, and Qutub Minar—in intricate 2D titanium designs, honouring Indian heritage. Further enriching its thematic offerings, Jacob & Co. introduced two exclusive Ram Janmabhoomi editions, incorporating distinctive cultural motifs and historical significance. In October 2024, Jacob & Co. elevated the collection with the Wonders of India, replacing the Gateway of India with the Ram Mandir, an emblem of India’s diverse heritage and the brand’s dedication to authentic cultural representation.
