Watch Paparazzi

Footballer Lionel Messi spotted wearing Jacob & Co

The excitement was palpable as Argentina beat Croatia 3-0 tonight, securing their place in the final of the Qatar World Cup. While all eyes were on Lionel Messi and his impressive skills on the field, many couldn't help but notice the watch he was wearing.

Messi, who currently plays for Paris Saint-Germain, was spotted wearing his edition of the Jacob & Co Epic X Chrono in 18K white gold. The watch is factory-set with 289 baguette-cut diamonds and 12 baguette dégradé rubies, making it a truly luxurious timepiece.

The specific reference of the watch is EC422.30.BD.UA.ABRUA, and it comes with a list price of £430,000 or $600,000. While this price tag may be out of reach for most, it's clear that Messi is a fan of the luxurious and high-end brand.

Not only is the Jacob & Co Epic X Chrono a stylish accessory, but it also boasts impressive technical features. With a chronograph, date display, and 48-hour power reserve, it's clear that Jacob & Co takes both form and function seriously.

As football fans eagerly anticipate the final of the Qatar World Cup, it's clear that Messi will continue to shine both on and off the field. And who knows, maybe we'll see even more luxurious timepieces adorning the wrists of football's biggest stars in the future.
