Launched in 2016, the Epic X Skeleton marked a decisive shift for Jacob & Co., introducing a bold architectural language that blends traditional horology with avant-garde design. Its defining X-shaped structure flows from the lugs directly into the skeletonised vertical bridges of the movement, creating a seamless visual dialogue between the case and calibre.

The 44mm case is crafted from black DLC-coated titanium, striking a rare balance between strength and lightness. An anti-reflective sapphire crystal and sapphire caseback reveal the movement in full, while the black Neoralithe inner ring and skeletonised baton hands add contemporary contrast to the openworked display. With 100 metres of water resistance and a honeycomb-pattern rubber strap secured by a titanium pin buckle, the watch is built for everyday use.

At Second Movement, the pre-owned division of Ethos Watches, we adhere to a rigorous verification process where expert watchmakers carefully inspect every watch to certify its authenticity, ensuring it is not counterfeit. We also go to the maximum extent possible to ensure that the timepiece is not a stolen property and that all duties are paid. However, in the absence of any central database, a 100% verification is unlikely for any pre-owned entity in India. Nevertheless, we can still provide a provenance guarantee for watches purchased from Ethos.
