Jacob & Co: Epic X
Here’s everything you need to know about the new Jacob & Co Epic X best replica watches, an evolution of the brand’s stylish offering.
The redesigned Epic X is sleeker and more streamlined than the classic watch. Jacob & Co has subtly altered the shapes, surfaces and lines, with rich details that make the Epic X completely up to date. It’s also one of the few Jacob & Co watches to be made in steel.
The first watch of the new Epic X has a bold 44mm steel case, a new 5-link steel bracelet, X-shaped lugs and a vertically arranged skeleton movement with Clous de Paris bridges. There’s also a full rose gold version. They feature a new set of crown guards, a new lug design and the introduction of green, blue or black aluminum components, opening up endless possibilities.
The Epic X collection luxury replica watches, launched in 2015, was key to Jacob & Co becoming the mature watchmaking brand it is today. Years after the launch of the iconic five-time zone watch, Jacob & Co began to move towards more horological watches, a watch that left its mark throughout the era and was worn by countless celebrities.
The Epic X is a perfect watchmaking piece that led the trend of sporty, high-end watchmaking, skeleton watches that became the protagonists of the 2020s. It later became the blueprint for the Epic X Chrono and Epix X Tourbillon.
Infinite chapters
The case has a diameter of 44 mm and a thickness of 13.05 mm. The bracelet has a completely new design, derived from the unique angles and curves of the case. Each of the 5 rows of links is a polished and chamfered three-dimensional sculpture with a semi-octagonal profile and a curved base. This and the careful study of the joints allow it to fit perfectly to the wrist. In addition, the Epic X is still available with its iconic honeycomb rubber strap.
In addition, the original Epic X buy replica watches has also undergone a series of changes, both in design and mechanical movement. The way the Epic X is constructed allows for infinite interpretations of materials, colors and gemstone settings.
Jacob & Co has demonstrated its versatility by launching three versions: a steel case with blue aluminum parts and a steel bracelet or black rubber strap; a rose gold case with green aluminum parts and a rose gold bracelet or black rubber strap; and a black DLC case with black details and a rubber strap.
The Epic X is one of those rare examples of a true symbiosis between the inside and the outside of a watch. The collection is named after the X graphic that is located on its lug pairs. They are connected to each other by the vertical bridge of the skeletonized movement, forming a continuous shape for the entire watch.
All of these distinctive features have been retained and enhanced in the new collection. The most obvious update in the design is the new shape of the case. The once stepped bezel is now smooth and polished with steeper angles. The X-shaped lugs are now full and flush, slightly above the sapphire crystal. Their ends are more angled and vertical, and fit better with the strap. replica Jacob & Co. Epic X
Design Language
The second most obvious change is the case flange, which extends far beyond the case flange to form a set of crown guards. Between them, the redesigned crown presents a two-tiered notched steel tip. Its foundation introduces a new design principle: the Epic X now features several colored components made of aluminum. Jacob & Co chose vivid blue, vibrant green, and black for the black DLC steel Epic X.
These colors are applied to the flange, which also features a redesigned font. On the satin edges of the two vertical bridges, on the case, and more discreetly, visible only through the sapphire caseback, outside the labyrinth of components of the JCAM45 movement.
Fancy wording
The JCAM45 movement is an integral part of the Epic X brand. It cannot be called a skeletonized movement, because it is not derived from an existing movement, but simply skeletonized. It was designed as such. As a result, it benefits from a free graphic structure. The wide barrel at 12 o’clock and the balance wheel at 6 o’clock define the vertical essence of the movement. This essence is further enhanced by the vertical bridges running along the barrel. They used to carry a printed brand logo, which has now been moved to the 12 o’clock position. replica Audemars Piguet Royal Oak
They are also skeletonized and may continue to be so in the future. But so far, they use one of the Epic X’s signature finishes, the hobnail (or Paris hobnail). The engraved pattern consists of square-based pyramids and polished surfaces. It is a classic pattern in watchmaking, giving the watch texture and unique light reflections. Half dial, half movement, these structures are in line with the Epic X’s original mission to blur the boundaries between inside and outside.
Mechanical Grammar
The Caliber JCAM45 is not only a work of symmetry and vertical design, but also a work of exquisite craftsmanship. The 5.9 mm thick movement is extremely skeletonized, which is concealed by the fully vertical bridge. It features a high-end balance wheel with adjustment screws that is almost flush with the dial.
The rest of the black-plated surface of the skeletonized mainplate is treated with perlage (circular graining), sandblasting and vertical graining. Looking at the back of the movement reveals the unique “octopus” spring, a delicate component with three extremely thin and elegantly curved leaves. It acts as both a detent spring and a setting lever spring. The level of care in its design and finishing is a testament to the very essence of Epic X Haute Horlogerie.
Simple yet complex, this functional creation from Jacob & Co is sure to win over many enthusiasts with its stylish appearance, admirable artistry and front-row view of the interior. replica Zenith Watches
