Jacob & Co. Teams Up With Football Legend Lionel Messi For The 8th Edition Of The Only Watch Auction Watch

After announcing a three-watch collaboration earlier this year, Jacob & Co. and football legend Lionel Messi have teamed up again to create a one-of-a-kind watch for the Only Watch auction. Based on the highly successful Epic X chronograph "Messi", Jacob & Co. features 36 baguette-cut sapphires on an 18k white gold bezel in a 47mm grade 5 titanium case for Only Watch.

In keeping with the blue theme of this year's auction, blue sapphire complements the blue mineral glass that covers the skeletonized column-wheel chronograph movement, white ceramic pushers, blue rubber lugs and red rubber crown. Messi's famous number "10" is red, and his signature logo appears at six o'clock on the dial. The sapphire crystal and the blue mineral crystal caseback feature Macy's signature, the Only Watch logo and the Piece Unique lettering. This Only Watch Auction lot offers a priceless experience: the winning bidder will meet Lionel Messi in person, get the chance to take a photo with the football legend, get him to sign something, and have the pair both wearing the Epic. Take a photo with Messi to commemorate the X Chronograph "Messi" watch.

"One of the reasons to work with Jacob & Co. is to work on social projects," Massey said. “Congratulations and thanks to Only Watch for giving us the opportunity to auction off a Jacob & Messi limited edition watch to fight tragic diseases like Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy. And thanks in advance to those who will be bidding on the watch – great to meet the final buyer ."

Only Watch is a biennial auction founded and organized by Luc Pettavino. 100% of the proceeds go to fund the search for a cure for Duchenne muscular dystrophy, a disease that plagued Petavino's son Paul, who died in November 2016 at the age of 21.

Jacob & Co.'s partnership with Lionel Messi has been so successful, it makes perfect sense to use this high-profile platform to support and benefit such a worthy cause. "When we approached Only Watch to get involved, we knew we had to do something compelling," said Jacob Arabo, founder of Jacob & Co. "Producing a unique watch that combines horology and extraordinary gem setting with an exclusive experience." , getting the chance to meet Lionel Messi, one of the legends of modern football, takes this Only Watch lot out of this world. I hope it raises a lot of money for the cause. "
