With this unique Eyjafjallajokull-DNA model, RJ illustrates the legends of our time and the mythologies that will forge the memory of the 21st century. A timepiece with its finger on the pulse of the latest events, designed with ash from the erupting Eyjafjallajokull which is establishing itself as one of the most intimate symbols of our global contemporary emotions.As if revealed beneath the dial through a bold stylistic effect and ready to burst forth at any moment, the lava ejected from the core of the planet illustrates an inner strength capable of setting fire to time - in this case held captive by a steel bezel and volcanic ash. Conveying memories of fire and lava, swept over by powerful images of dust and winds, and testifying to primeval energies as well as human vulnerability, the rough, brutal, fissured dial is crafted from ash ejected by the Eyjafjallajokull volcano.Above and beyond the words and pictures heard and seen over and over again on our TV and computer screens, the visual impact of this form of telluric inevitability serves as a fresh reminder of the inherent vulnerability of our world view. Behind the ash cloud lies the vanity of our philosophies of time.This one-of-a-kind model is accompanied by a certificate of authenticity confirming that the volcanic rock and the ash do indeed come from the Eyjafjalljokull.Retail TBDSource: Romain Jerome

This is an antique-looking watch which looks so cool especially for those who want their timepieces to come with some sort of history. The Romain Jerome Titanic-DNA T-Oxy IV Ultimate Rust Watch is actually a limited edition series with only 2,012 pieces made, so it is facing a status of rarity soon which adds to its value as a collector's item.The Romain Jerome Titanic-DNA T-Oxy IV Ultimate Rust Watch comes in an 18 Karat 5N pink gold case measuring 46mm in diameter. It is definitely the rusted bezel which gives the watch that antique look, but it is the black rough dial which gives it some texture.The watch is powered by a self-winding C22RJ51 Concepto Calibre movement by Jacquet. It has functions for seconds and date, hours and minutes so you have all you need in one device. It is protected by a double-sided anti-reflective sapphire crystal. The 50 meter water resistance level is however not that impressive.The small seconds counter as well as the date can be found at the sub-dial located at 9 o'clock. All this old glory is attached to a Hornback crocodile leather strap with an 18 Karat pink gold folding clasp. You can also for the rubber strap.
