Jacob & Co. Epic X Chrono Messi "Only Watch" Special Edition

Jacob & Co. Epic X Chrono Messi "Only Watch" Special Edition

This unique piece enhances the limited edition Messi with baguette-cut blue sapphires.

Also included is a meet and greet for two people with Lionel Messi.
 
“When we decided to participate in Only Watch, we knew that we had to do something spectacular,” says Jacob Arabo, founder of Jacob & Co. “Producing a piece unique watch that pairs horology and extraordinary gem-setting with an exclusive experience, getting the chance to meet one of modern football’s living legends, Lionel Messi, makes this Only Watch lot out of this world. I hope it will raise a great deal of money for the cause.”

“One of the reasons for the collaboration with Jacob & Co. was precisely to work on social projects,” says Messi. “Congratulations and thank you to Only Watch for giving us the opportunity to auction a watch from the Jacob & Messi limited edition collection to combat such a sad illness as Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy. And thanks in advance to the people who will bid on the watch – it will be pleasure to meet the final buyer.”
