iShowSpeed, a streamer with over 100 million followers across multiple platforms, is famous not only for his over-the-top reactions but also for his love of professional soccer player Cristiano Ronaldo.
It is no surprise that, though Speed isn’t spotted wearing many wrist watches, he does often post himself wearing Ronaldo’s collaboration with Jacob & Co.
Jacob & Co, a Swiss luxury watch brand known for their extravagant designs, collaborated with Ronaldo to create a line of luxury watches paying homage to his most iconic moments.
iShowSpeed’s Jacob & Co x CR7 Collection
Speed secured two models from Jacob & Co’s collaboration with CR7.
Both pieces—the Heart of CR7 and Flight of CR7—are 44mm watches with skeleton movements. The open-worked dial showcases a skeleton barrel cover that is shaped like a football.
But the most striking part of the design is the imagery of Ronaldo that can be found on the dial and case back.
Flight of CR7 - Rose Gold
iShowSpeed’s first Epic X is the Flight of CR7 (ref. EX120.43.AE.AA.B). It features a rose gold case and cordura bracelet, similar to nylon, which is a breathable material ideal for athletes.
The watch itself is made from 158 components, coming together with an open-worked dial that showcases Ronaldo himself on the left pillar and his number, 7, and signature on a right pillar.
It is a limited edition item with only 999 made, holding a market value around $65,000.
Heart of CR7 - Stainless Steel
iShowSpeed’s second Epic X is the Heart of CR7 (ref. EX120.10.AD.AA.B). This is a stainless steel model featuring the same cordura bracelet. It is also crafted with 158 components, with different imagery of Ronaldo on the left pillar, while the right pillar still showcases his signature and number 7.
The Heart of CR7 is also a limited edition piece with 999 made, and has a market value around $30,000.
