Milano Watch Week 2026: An Insider’s Verdict on Europe’s Rising Watch Event
Jacob & Co. Epic X Chrono Messi “Only Watch” Special Edition
“When we decided to participate in Only Watch, we knew that we had to do something spectacular,” says Jacob Arabo, founder of Jacob & Co. “Producing a piece unique watch that pairs horology and extraordinary gem-setting with an exclusive experience, getting the chance to meet one of modern football’s living legends, Lionel Messi, makes this Only Watch lot out of this world. I hope it will raise a great deal of money for the cause.”
“One of the reasons for the collaboration with Jacob & Co. was precisely to work on social projects,” says Messi. “Congratulations and thank you to Only Watch for giving us the opportunity to auction a watch from the Jacob & Messi limited edition collection to combat such a sad illness as Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy. And thanks in advance to the people who will bid on the watch – it will be pleasure to meet the final buyer.”
