Jacob & Co. introduces a rare addition to its Astronomia Art collection with the debut of the “Ring of Fire” timepiece. This highly limited edition watch, comprising only four units, commemorates the historic heavyweight clash between Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk, scheduled for May 18.
In a gesture of gratitude, Fury and Usyk will each receive one of these exclusive watches, symbolizing their pivotal roles in what promises to be a monumental boxing event. However, one lucky individual will have the opportunity to acquire one of these coveted timepieces through a Sotheby’s auction, with all proceeds generously donated to the Make-A-Wish Foundation International.
Commissioned by His Excellency Turki Alalshikh, Chairman of the General Entertainment Authority, these unique timepieces hold an approximate value of $650,000 each. They not only celebrate a significant moment in sports history but also serve as enduring mementos of the epic Fury vs. Usyk showdown. Alalshikh emphasizes the rarity and importance of these watches, highlighting their value as tangible connections to the event.
Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, each 50-mm rose gold Astronomia Art “Ring of Fire” timepiece showcases intricate craftsmanship. Featuring miniature three-dimensional figures of Fury and Usyk, adorned with autographed boxing gloves, the watches pay homage to the World Boxing Council (WBC) with a distinctive green-colored dial reminiscent of the champion belt. Finished with a green alligator strap, these timepieces exude elegance and sophistication.
The highlight of these exquisite watches is their double-axis flying tourbillon, which orchestrates the dynamic rotation of the scene, adding a captivating element to their already stunning design.
Commenting on the release, Jacob Arabo, Founder of Jacob & Co., expresses excitement for the impending Fury vs. Usyk showdown, highlighting the brand’s legacy of creating bespoke timepieces for fighters. Arabo underscores the privilege of producing the limited-edition “Ring of Fire” timepiece, particularly due to its charitable aspect and its association with an unforgettable moment in boxing history.
