Epic X Chrono Tourbillon Baguette Red Crystal

Description of the Jacob & Co Epic X Chrono Tourbillon Baguette Red Crystal

The Jacob & Co Epic X Chrono Tourbillon Baguette Red Crystal is an extraordinary high-jewelry luxury watch that combines a flying tourbillon, column-wheel chronograph and extensive baguette-cut diamond setting. Crafted from 18K white gold, the 47 mm case showcases the architectural X-shaped design that defines the Epic X collection, while a striking red mineral crystal dial introduces a bold contrast to the brilliant white diamonds. The Red Crystal configuration is associated with reference EC380.30.BD.AB.A.

At its heart is the self-winding Jacob & Co JCAA09 caliber, a 278-component movement combining a one-minute flying tourbillon with a bi-compax chronograph. The combination of high watchmaking, skeletonized architecture and exceptional gem setting makes the Epic X Chrono Tourbillon Baguette Red Crystal a remarkable collector's timepiece.

Why the Jacob & Co Epic X Chrono Tourbillon Baguette Appeals to Luxury Watch Collectors

For luxury watch collectors, the Jacob & Co Epic X Chrono Tourbillon Baguette offers an impressive combination of high jewelry, contemporary sports-watch styling and complicated Swiss watchmaking. The Red Crystal edition stands apart through its vivid red display, white gold construction and extensive baguette diamond setting.

The Epic X design is inspired by the letter X, which influences both the case architecture and the skeletonized movement. In the Chrono Tourbillon Baguette, Jacob & Co combines this distinctive structure with a flying tourbillon and two-register chronograph, creating a high-end timepiece with both technical complexity and strong visual presence.

Design and Craftsmanship

The Epic X Chrono Tourbillon Baguette features a substantial 47 mm case crafted from 18K white gold and extensively set with baguette-cut white diamonds. Jacob & Co uses its demanding invisible-setting technique across the collection, placing gemstones side by side to minimize visible metal and create a smooth, continuous surface of brilliance.

The red mineral crystal dial provides transparency into the mechanical architecture while adding a vivid contemporary character. Skeletonized hands with Super-LumiNova maintain readability, while the signature X-shaped bridges integrate the movement visually with the case design.

Movement and Performance

Powering the watch is the Jacob & Co JCAA09, a self-winding mechanical caliber composed of 278 components. It operates at 28,800 vibrations per hour (4 Hz) and provides approximately 48 hours of power reserve.

Its complications include a one-minute flying tourbillon and a bi-compax chronograph controlled by a column wheel. Small seconds and a rotating inner ring add further functionality, while the skeletonized construction allows the intricate mechanical architecture to become part of the watch's visual design.
