Winning a Triton Main Event has always been one of the more difficult achievements in the high stakes part of the game. It was about the payout and the prestige that came with it sure, but it was also about the hardware you got to put on your wrist as the Triton Champion curtesy of Jacob & Co. This week, Triton announced that luxury jeweler Jacob & Co is returning as the Official Timekeeping Partner for the 2026 season.
This article explores how that partnership looks like in 2026 and what it means for Triton Jeju, where the series picks up next month.
One Decade and Two Anniversaries
The timing of this announcement couldn’t be better, or at least better planned. This year marks 10 years since the very first Triton tournament back in 2016, meaning it’s been a decade during which the series managed to grow from a niche high-stakes trial run into a must-stop for poker’s elite.
On the other side of the table, Jacob & Co is celebrating its 40th anniversary. As a spokesperson for the brand put it:
The partnership with Triton Poker Series reflects a shared pursuit of excellence, precision, and performance at the highest level. From the intensity of tournament play to the mastery required behind every Jacob & Co. timepiece, both worlds are driven by timing, strategy, and confidence.
The focus of the collaboration between the two brands remains the Triton Epic X Skeleton timepiece. For those who haven’t seen one up close, it’s a 44mm skeletonized watch featuring a rose gold dial and a personalized Triton logo at the 12 o’clock position.
For the players, its real value is the “CHAMPION” engraving on the case back. Since the partnership first debuted in Madrid in 2022, 22 of these timepieces have been awarded to Main Event winners across No Limit Hold’em, PLO, and Short Deck.
The list of players currently wearing the Epic X is a “who’s who” of the modern era:
- Bryn Kenney, Stephen Chidwick, and Isaac Haxton all have one.
- Jason Koon, a Triton Ambassador, currently has two in his collection.
Triton in 2026: The Road to Jeju
Right now, we’re less that a month away from Trition 2026 docking in Jeju, South Korea. Ever since its announcement, this 2026 stop has been billed as Triton’s biggest to date since it’s running for nearly a month from March 5 to April 1 at the Les A Casino.
In that month there are 31 events on the schedule that includes:
- Triton ONE (March 5–15): A “mid-stakes” festival featuring the series’ first-ever women-only events.
- Super High Roller Series (March 15–April 1): The “nosebleed” stakes return with the $100,000 NLH Main Event (March 24-26) and the $100,000 PLO Main Event (March 29-31).
