Jacob & Co ASTRONOMIA TOURBILLON RANGE BAGUETTE

The monocoque dial of the Jacob & Co. Epic X watch

The Jacob & Co. Epic X, the brand's entry-level sports replica watches for sale, even without a case, caseback, or even a sweep second hand, gives the illusion that a lot is going on on the surface

When Jacob & Co launched the Epic X collection in 2015, the American brand's jewelry watches had already won the hearts of celebrities in music and film, as did its distinctive five-time zone watches. Similar to corporate downsizing, the Epic X models fall into the monocoque category (French for "monocoque," meaning chassis). They stripped the brand's usual "decorative shenanigans" (Jacob & Co's dial is studded with diamonds and even has a working miniature roulette wheel) and added chunks to the case and caseback, only The running parts of the watch - the movement and internal structure - are preserved and exposed. Removing these extra elements has significantly lowered the price of these Epic X models, which are now positioned as the brand's entry-level sports watches. While still eccentric in appearance, this more approachable, rugged Jacob & Co model is a win-win for customers.replica luxury Watches

Similar to the company's downsizing, the Jacob & Co. Epic X model strips away the brand's usual "decorative shenanigans" and chunks of the case and back, leaving only the movement and internals that run the watch preserved and exposed.

A watch classified as a monocoque construction presents a great challenge to watchmakers. These skeletal models can give us a glimpse of the inner movement. Without the shelter of the dial, subdials, hour markers and case back, the increased transparency gives the model no chance to "dazzle them and they'll never understand" as in the soundtrack to Chicago (2001). Even the exposed movement and tiny flaws in the internals (now directly beneath the sapphire crystal) appear magnified. On the other hand, one doesn't need a watch expert to open the case back and measure which parts are moving slower than usual, need to be wound up, or come to a complete stop due to the skeletonized display.high quality cheap watches

Stainless steel or titanium Epic X versions feature minor design tweaks to differentiate them from the others. For example, they come with or without a diamond-set bezel, with or without an inner neuralithe inner ring, and come with a transparent honeycomb pattern rubber strap or a steel bracelet. One version is all black from the DLC case to the included rubber strap. The rose gold version is slightly more expensive and comes with a black rubber strap. Most models have a case diameter of 44 mm, a thickness of 13.05 mm and are water resistant to 100 m. These entry-level models are also the brand's slimmest watches.

The beauty of monocoque Like most skeletonized replica watches Price, the Epic X dial gives the illusion that a lot is going on. One can easily spot the individual components of the movement, such as the bridges, balance spring and wheels, and the mainspring barrel. The barrel is at 12 o'clock and the mainspring wheel is at 6 o'clock. Even the metal screws and the purple 21 stones are clearly visible. These models are powered by the JCAM02 hand-wound skeleton movement, made of an impressive 158 parts. It runs at 28,800 vph and offers a 48-hour power reserve.

Patterns like Parisian hobnail, vertical grain, pearl and sandblasting add some drama to surface appearance and texture. Skeletonized hour and minute hands provide a stark contrast. There is no sweep second hand. Another highlight: the lugs suggest an "X" shape. These lugs, smelling like crab legs, securely lock the bezel and connect the bridges together, providing symmetry and easy viewing of the dial.
