Swiss watchmaker Jacob & Co has teamed up with English club Manchester City to launch a series of bespoke luxury watches.
Jacob & Co has just announced a new major partnership with Manchester City Football Club. Jacob & Co becomes an “Official Partner” and is working with the club to create a series of limited edition watches that “celebrate iconic moments in the club’s history”.
The watchmaker said that “each watch will embody the precision, teamwork and ingenuity that both brands are famous for, perfectly blending Jacob & Co’s innovative design with Manchester City’s pioneering spirit”.
This series of watches by Jacob & Co and Manchester City has three references:
Epic X Sport Edition Manchester City, a brand new model from Jacob & Co
Epic X Chrono 44 Manchester City Edition Rose Gold/Blue Ceramic
Epic X Chrono 44 Manchester City Edition Rose Gold
Firstly, the Epic X Sport is a 41mm titanium watch, the smallest model. Equipped with Jacob & Co automatic movement JCHA01, the rhodium-plated dial is decorated with a diamond pattern and highlights the Manchester City logo (located at 6 o’clock). The light blue aluminum decoration on the crown and inner ring and the honeycomb rubber strap reflect the iconic colors of Erling Haaland’s club.
The first version of the Epic X Chrono 44 Edition Manchester City watch is based on the unchanging line of Epic
The light blue of Manchester City is a strong theme of this watch, with the yellow and blue team logo embedded in the chronograph, while the club motto is printed in blue letters on the back of the watch.
For the “Rose Gold” version of the Epic X Chrono 44 Manchester City Edition, there is little difference except for the gold case.
