Small watch brand Jacob & Co. has unveiled its latest creation – a one-of-a-kind Bugatti watch made especially for star Cristiano Ronaldo. The 37-year-old soccer legend worked with Jacob Arabo, founder of Jacob & Co. , to design it according to your own requirements.
According to the manufacturer, this watch has been carefully designed and crafted to match the Bugatti Chiron that Ronaldo owns. From the looks of it, the one-of-a-kind watch is based on the Bugatti Chiron Tourbillon Baguette, which is one of the most complicated watches ever made.
According to the details that Jacob & Co. given, CR7’s watch is completely covered with 232 white baguette diamonds and 109 black sapphires, for a total of 21ct. Gemstones decorate the dial and tonneau-shaped case measuring 55mm x 20mm.
In addition, the dial has the word CR7 on it, making it different from the standard versions. The skeletonized dial and components of the watch’s complex movement are plated in champagne gold with a satin finish, which is a beautiful complement to the watch’s transparent case.
One of the highlights of the Jacob & Co. The Bugatti Chiron Tourbillon Baguette is a miniature replica of the Chiron’s W16 engine made from transparent sapphire crystal. Pressing a button brings it to life with 16 tiny pistons pumping up and down inside the see-through W16 engine block.
Powering the watch is Jacob & Co.’s 578-part hand-wound JCAM3 movement, which features a 30-degree flying tourbillon and a 60-hour power reserve. The movement is also shock-absorbed by the suspension visible on the dial. This line of watches costs from 1 million USD. But the CR7 version is only given to Ronaldo, so it’s impossible to really put a price on it. The CR7 watch version was personally given to the soccer star by Jacob Arabo.
