Jacob & Co. Epic X CR7 Watch Review: A Champion's Timepiece

Jacob & Co. has long been synonymous with bold, extravagant timepieces, and the Epic X CR7, created in collaboration with Cristiano Ronaldo, is no exception. This watch is a celebration of sporting excellence translated into haute horlogerie.

Design

The 44mm case comes in titanium or 18K rose gold, with a fully skeletonized dial that reveals the JCAA05 movement in all its glory. Two versions exist: the "Flight of CR7" and the "Heart of CR7," each telling a different aspect of Ronaldo's story through its design elements.

Movement

The in-house JCAA05 manual-winding movement is a technical marvel. The skeletonization is meticulous, and the finishing, a mix of polished and brushed surfaces, is exceptional at this level.

Exclusivity

Limited to just 116 pieces per version, owning an Epic X CR7 means joining an extremely exclusive club. The serial number and CR7 branding are subtle yet present for those who know.

Verdict

The Jacob & Co. Epic X CR7 is more than a watch, it's a wearable piece of football history. For collectors at the intersection of sports fandom and serious horology, nothing else quite compares.
