Epic X Viva la Vida - Not afraid to die The cult of death is the theme Jacob & Co.
nice replica watches has chosen for its latest issue, dedicated to the Mexican market.
Jacob & Co.'s idyllic presence in Mexico continues. Again featuring the Epic X. A little over a year ago we learned about the extreme edition made by the American company on the anniversary of its independence. This is a forged carbon fiber version with a dial in the colors of the national flag and a replica of the independent angel on the case back. The new Epic X Viva la Vida restores relations with our country, albeit from a completely different perspective.
Like other international brands, Jacob & Co.
best watches for men has found great creative fodder in the symbol of death. The new model invites deep philosophical reflection on the subject, which adds to the appeal of the proposal. Complicating with the theme of ancient Vanitas and Memento Mori watches, captivating our 17th and 18th century ancestors and inviting us to live in the present.
no fear of death
But let's not beat around the bush: Jacob & Co. has launched this special edition for our country, and it's called Epic X Viva la Vida. Of course, this piece is only available in Mexico, 20 pieces in titanium, 20 pieces in rose gold. The relatively small number of units undoubtedly helps to enhance the fun of the work. The Epic X Viva la Vida is centered around the aesthetic section, filled with bones, skulls and skeletons, giving the watch its characteristic dynamic touch. The watch uses its unique structure to create the personality of the watch. In the foreground, we see a skull covering a cargo barrel. On the right, a skull and a hat. You don't know whether to be afraid of what you see or to laugh at the scene. And that's what Epic X Viva la Vida is all about.
Jacob & Co. EPIC X ROSE GOLD BAGUETTE
Because the only way not to be afraid of death is to face it and make it part of our daily lives. That's what the Epic X Viva la Vida was looking for, a watch designed for everyday wear, a far cry from Jacob & Co's Martian proposal.
skeleton in sight
Powerful yet in pure watchmaking essence, the JCAM02 caliber is a carefully crafted, new generation movement developed exclusively by Jacob. & Co. hand-wound, its main feature is its skeleton construction, with its 158 components arranged along a vertical axis that divides the
replica watches online shop in two. Above are the barrels, estimated to take 48 hours, while the space below is occupied by a bare escapement, whose swing becomes a constant focus for the audience.
The two beams that outline the movement transcend their space until they place the case in a position vaguely reminiscent of a spider. The elegant finishing of the entire case surface, with a clear distinction between satin and polish, nicely outlines the masculine shape of this 44 mm diameter watch.
In short, the Epic X Viva la Vida is the perfect
replica skeleton watches for lovers of culture and ethnicity. Maybe we're moving away from Jacob & Co's dreamiest image, from proposals like the Twin Turbo or the entire Astronomia line. In any case, the watch is just as legit and more functional, reminding us that the talented jeweler Jacob Arabo also had a keen eye for the most mundane issues of time.
