We are starting a brand new series to take a peek behind the curtain of the watch brand that has probably the most maximalist design language in the entire Swiss watch industry, Jacob & Co. Beyond the strikingly luxurious presentation of its watches, each product family is underpinned by highly technical competencies that have elevated the brand as a serious player in the realm of high watchmaking. Jacob & Co. partners with some of the industry’s leading high complication movement specialists to bring founder Jacob Arabo’s design visions to life. Concepto is one such partner that you may never have heard of and they specialise in bespoke offerings that do not adhere to standard movement construction principles.
In a rare interview with Concepto’s founder and CEO Valérien Jaquet, Wei discovers the aesthetic codes of Jacob & Co’s sportiest collection to date, the Epic X.
