Lionel Messi may be a football guru and the greatest player the sport has ever seen, but he has become something greater than football. Lionel Messi has become an ideal to strive for. So, when a watchmaking giant like Jacob & Co. came up with a watch made just for Lionel Messi.
Epic Collaboration - Jacob & Co. Epic X Chrono "Messi"
Football icon Lionel Messi made a surprising decision in 2019 when he decided to partner with watchmaker Jacob & Co. This watch is an easy and wonderful way to celebrate the footballer's achievements on and off the field. In Messi's own world, Jacob & Co. is the most innovative watchmaker he has ever known.
Lionel has brought a lot of heat to the Epic X Chrono sports watch.
If the vibrations of the watch don't impress you too much, the 47mm-wide titanium case will. Bathed in white and blue, the watch has a very cool aesthetic. Using the national flag colors of the Argentine flag, Lionel Messi's home country is a suave move by the watchmaker. The bezel and chronograph pushers are made of white ceramic. The horns have blue rubber inserts, while the straps are all white rubber. However, the only contrasting hue can be seen in the red rubber crown.
That's not all, this
Jacob & Co. created this watch in support of the "Only Watch 2019" charity auction. The winning bidder was given the opportunity to meet and pose for a photo with himself, Lionel Messi. The winner also had the unique opportunity to have a photo with the footballer himself, both wearing Epic X Chronograph “Messi” timepieces.
