Global football icon Cristiano Ronaldo has strengthened his long-standing partnership with the prestigious watchmaker Jacob & Co. by launching an exclusive luxury watch collection. The collaboration between the Portuguese star and Jacob Arabo, founder of Jacob & Co., spans over two decades, built on mutual respect and a shared dedication to excellence. What began as a friendship when Ronaldo was an emerging talent has blossomed into a dynamic business venture, merging two influential names from the worlds of sports and luxury watchmaking.
One of the most remarkable pieces from this collection is the Twin Turbo Furious Baguette, a masterpiece delivered personally to Ronaldo by Jacob Arabo. This limited edition timepiece, valued at a staggering $1.3 million, exemplifies the extraordinary craftsmanship and attention to detail that both Ronaldo and Arabo have honed throughout their careers.
Ronaldo announced on Instagram. “I’ve always wanted to have my collection of watches,” he wrote. Some of my most memorable on-field experiences serve as inspiration for the @jacobandco Flight of CR7 & the Heart of CR7. As much as I enjoy them, I hope you do too.
The Jacob & Co. x CR7 Epic X Collection
Another highlight of this collaboration is the Jacob & Co. x CR7 Epic X collection, specifically crafted to mirror Ronaldo’s personality and iconic brand. The collection features two standout models: Flight of CR7 and Heart of CR7. Both boast a 44mm case and are adorned with intricate details that pay homage to the football legend.
The watches showcase a skeletonized movement with a unique design, featuring two vertical pillars. One pillar is engraved with Ronaldo in various signature poses, while the other showcases the CR7 logo alongside his signature. This architectural design not only emphasizes Ronaldo’s brand but also symbolizes his impact in both sports and luxury.
Additional personalized elements, such as a barrel cover shaped like a football and an image of Ronaldo—sporting his famous number 7 jersey—gold-printed on the sapphire crystal case back, further enhance the exclusivity of the collection. This watch line is a stunning blend of luxury and Ronaldo’s dynamic career, celebrating his journey from football prodigy to global icon.
