Jacob & Co. Epic SF24
A smart watch with a high-res screen can recreate the appearance of almost any kind of display imaginable, including the classic split-flap screens once used at airports and train stations around the world to indicate departure and arrival times. But seeing the split flap effect on a watch is more impressive when it’s real and recreates the unique mechanics behind those types of displays. That’s what the Jacob & Co. Epic SF24 brings to wrists, with a second time zone option featuring a scrollable list of cities and a split flap numerical display indicating the current hour elsewhere in the world. Since it’s so small, the watch doesn’t recreate the unique sound of hundreds of flaps adjusting at the same time, which might be a bit disappointing if you drop $68,000 on this piece.
