Ronaldo's relationship with Jacob & Co. dates back two decades, beginning when the footballer was still making a name for himself on the global stage.

What started as a friendship has evolved into a business partnership that unites one of the world’s most famous athletes with a leading name in luxury watchmaking. 

The Jacob & Co. x CR7 Epic X collection features a 44mm case adorned with personalised touches that celebrate Ronaldo's legacy.

 One pillar displays Ronaldo in action, while the opposite features his CR7 logo and signature.

Subtle details like a football-shaped barrel cover and an image of Ronaldo in his iconic number 7 jersey printed in gold on the sapphire crystal case back further elevate the watch’s design, ensuring it will become a must-have for luxury collectors and Ronaldo fans alike.

Essentially, it will cost you more than a million dollars to own one of these exquisite timepieces, as the world’s highest-paid athlete seeks to boost his $600 million net worth.
