The Epic SF24 embodies the dream of Jacob Arabo, the founder and Chairman of Jacob & Co, to transport the traveler back in time. Indeed, the movements of the 24 flaps indicating the 24 time zones instantaneously are reminiscent of billboards from train stations and airports.
The Epic SF24 has a very sophisticated GMT mechanism, but is used playfully. A push of the left pushbutton allows the vertical time display of the 24 time zones of the planet.
The flaps represent also a technical achievement of their own as they require 103 miniaturized components.
The Epic SF24 for Only Watch is particularly unique in that it offers the opportunity for the purchaser to customize a flap, adding his beloved city. Moreover, “Geneva”, place of Jacob & Co's horological headquarter and of the Only Watch auction sale, replaces the traditional “Paris” split flap.
Finally, the Epic SF24 Only Watch is covered by red hints on the hands, the crown, and the case side. "Only Watch 2015 Pièce Unique" is engraved on the back and the oscillating mass, apparent through the sapphire, is personalized especially for the occasion.
