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

Romaine Jerome's latest Moon Invader collection is typically designed to embrace the epic lunar saga. The watch wears the symbolic 'X' on its dial and its 46 mm case is made from steel coalesced by fusion with spare parts from Apollo 11. It features a mesh pattern directly inspired by the woven metal strands on the tires of lunar roving vehicles. Another conspicuous feature to remind us of the lunar adventure is the embodiment of the special MOON SILVER plate on the stellar case-back of the watch. This engraved plate depicts the lunar surface, and the mineral particles interact on an infra-molecular level with the wearer of the watch. The Moon Invader watch has a Black Metal Automatic movement and a Calibre of RJ001-A. The watch is produced in a limited edition of 1969 pieces, so grab your piece of lunar legacy soon![Watch-happening]
