Jacob & Co Epic X Skeleton

About this reference

The Jacob & Co. Epic X Skeleton in titanium, introduced around 2016 and remaining a core part of the brand’s catalog, represents the manufacturer's shift toward architectural sports watches. Collectors focus on the JCAM02 caliber, a skeletonized manual-wind movement featuring a vertical alignment where the barrel and balance wheel are positioned on a single axis. The 44mm grade 5 titanium case utilizes an "X" shaped lug structure that integrates directly into the movement bridges, creating a transparent aesthetic with no traditional dial. On the secondary market, these references typically trade between $12,000 and $18,000 depending on condition and strap configuration. A notable production variant is the "Racing" edition, which incorporates perforated rubber straps and color-coded inner rings. While not a limited edition in its standard form, the labor-intensive finishing of the skeletonized bridges limits annual production volumes compared to mass-market luxury sport watches.
