Jacob & Co.
Epic X Chrono Tri Dial-Forged Carbon- 44mm Mo

DESIGN INSPIRATION

Following up on the enduring appeal of the 47-mm versions, Jacob & Co. went on to create a 44-mm Epic X Chrono. This alternative case size makes it a universally wearable, definitely unisex format. The inspiration of the design came from the letter X which symbolizes something unknown, mysterious and appealing which was the energy of the brand at the time of the model's creation.

Epic X Chrono 44MM Tri-Compax is the high function version of Epic X with an extra dose of elegance. Epic X Chrono 44MM Tri-Compax retains all the core elements of its namesake collection, and takes them all one level higher. A level that the chronograph perfectly represents.

The crown guards, the pusher protectors, the X shape that runs from the lugs through the dial, the skeleton parts, they all embody the transformation of Epic X into a 3-counter sports chronograph with a sense of material exclusivity and a refined state of mind.

THE DEVELOPMENT PROCESS

Epic X Chrono 44MM Tri-Compax requires a movement that brings all the energy of Epic X and takes it up one notch. Caliber JCAA12 is a self-winding chronograph with three registers, a configuration called tri-Compax. The classic movement architecture, with horizontal clutch, column wheel and two pushers is interpreted in a sporty fashion.

The case is engineered to shield every protruding part. The crown, the pushers, the countdown crown are all inserted in pieces that come out of the case's round shape. Both pusher guards are echoed on the other side of the case for perfect symmetry. This ruggedness is further enhanced by the case's water-resistance to 200 meters.

THE COMPLICATIONS & FEATURES

Caliber JCAA12 is all a chronograph can be. Functional, luxurious, refined, finely finished, it bears the signature design elements of Jacob & Co. and of the Epic X collection.

THE CHRONOGRAPH

The pusher at 2 o'clock starts and stops the timing function. This sequence can be activated at will, with no necessary end. Elapsed time is shown with the central seconds hand and the 30-minute register at 3 o'clock and 12-hour register at 6 o'clock on the dial. Once the timing sequence is over, the 4 o'clock pusher resets all the hands. Epic X 44MM Tri-Compax is ready for the next timing.

THE SELF-WINDING MOVEMENT

A practical sports chronograph is a self-winding chronograph. Caliber JCAA12 is fitted with a rotor that automatically winds its power source. Its signature shape is directly inspired by the X that makes Epic X. It's visible to the naked eye thanks to a see-through caseback.

THE LIFESTYLE

Depending on the materials used, Epic X 44MM Tri-Compax is offered in a new variety of materials and colors, enhancing its universal reach. Versatility lies at the core of a great sports chronograph, and Epic X 44MM Tri-Compax has been developed to be just that. Its 44MM diameter opens it up to wrists of all sizes and gender.
