Personal touches

Messi had his jersey number, ‘10’, emblazoned on the flange in red.  A stylised ‘M’ takes pride of place at ‘6’, right above his surname. His signature looks incredibly chic against the blue sapphire caseback, the latter’s transparency offering a peek at the beautifully decorated skeleton bi-compax chronograph movement. The automatic calibre features an anthracite rotor with red lacquered engraving of “Jacob & Co Geneve”.

Next attraction

With the partnership now in full swing, Jacob & Co. has already teased the next watch, an interpretation of the Epic SF24 Tourbillon that features the novel Split Flap second time zone. Messi wore this watch to last month’s European Golden Shoe Gala.
