Takeshi Kitano wears the Epic SF24 Tourbillon Baguette Blue Dial

　At the Cannes Film Festival on May 23, 2023, director Takeshi Kitano's period drama "Kubi," a reinterpretation of the Honnoji Incident, was screened in the Cannes Premiere section. The watch worn by Takeshi Kitano was Jacob & Co.'s "Epic SF24 Tourbillon Baguette Blue Dial."

　This piece features Jacob & Co.'s unique split-flap world time function and a flying tourbillon complication, encased in vibrant baguette diamonds. The film "The Head" is a Warring States entertainment film that depicts the ambitions and destinies of a Sengoku warlord, a ninja, an unnamed entertainer, and a farmer, and Kitano said, "I wanted to portray the reality, not the pretty words."

Cristiano Ronaldo wears the Caviar Tourbillon Tsavorite

　Portuguese forward Cristiano Ronaldo is a soccer superstar. He currently plays for Al-Nassr in the Saudi Arabian first division. At the end of 2022, he surprised the world by signing a world-record contract with Al-Nassr worth approximately 283 billion yen per year. Recently, Cristiano Ronaldo has been frequently spotted wearing a green watch, the national color of Saudi Arabia. There were rumors of him leaving the club, but he has declared his intention to stay, saying, "I'm happy to be at Al-Nassr, and I want to stay here," so wearing a green watch could be seen as a sign of that commitment.

　The model worn by Cristiano Ronaldo is the "Caviar Tourbillon Tsavorite." This luxurious timepiece combines a vibrant green emerald tsavorite with a flying tourbillon, and the case back is also paved with brilliant diamonds. The movement is the automatic caliber JCAA43, with a power reserve of approximately 42 hours.

　Cristiano Ronaldo is scheduled to visit Japan for the first time in eight years in July 2023. In addition to two friendly matches scheduled, he is also scheduled to appear at events such as a new product event for brand partner SIXPAD.

Conor McGregor wears the Epic X Rose Gold Bracelet

　Conor McGregor is an Irish mixed martial artist. His style relies primarily on punches to land knockouts, and he has trained in mixed martial arts, boxing, kickboxing, Brazilian jiu-jitsu, karate, and capoeira. He also employs spinning kicks. While he is a charismatic and influential fighter, his unconventional behavior often draws media attention. In 2017, he was named one of TIME magazine's "100 Most Influential People in the World." That same year, he made his professional boxing debut against Floyd Mayweather Jr., losing by TKO in the 10th round (1 minute and 5 seconds) without a knockdown. However, he earned $3000 million from the fight. After watching the match, Mike Tyson commented, "I now have even more respect for McGregor. I give him an A."

　He is also well-known for his fashion sense, having been ranked fourth in the 2017 Best Dressed Awards by the men's style and fashion magazine GQ, alongside actors and musicians. On St. Patrick's Day, a holiday where people wear green, Conor McGregor wore Jacob's Epic X Rose Gold Bracelet with green accents.
