Jacob & Co. is launching a new 'Ring of Fire' timepiece as a part of its Astronomia Art collection. This collection features four unique watches and pays homage to the iconic fight between Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk, which airs on May 18. As a part of the release, Fury and Usyk will be gifted one of the watches to commemorate the experience.
The timepieces feature three-dimensional figures of both fighters, a 50-mm rose gold construction, a green hour and minute dial, and a green alligator strap. They also boast a double-axis flying tourbillon and Jacob & Co. branding underneath the face.
"At Jacob & Co., we have a long history of making bespoke timepieces with and for fighters. It’s a privilege for us to make this limited-edition Astronomia Art Ring of Fire. Especially because one of the four timepieces will go to one of the most respectable charities and because this fight is an unforgettable moment in boxing history that is one for the ages[,]" commented Jacob Arabo, Jacob & Co.’s Founder.
