[ via Romaine Jerome ]November 12, 2008 - Geneva, Switzerland - Timepieces made from fragments of the Apollo XI spacecraft, and the Soyuz spacecraft, dials with mineral structure containing Moon dust, with straps partly woven with fibers from an International Space Station spacesuit were launched here tonight by Romain Jerome, DNA of Famous Legends.The high Swiss watchmaker gained worldwide attention for its first Legends watches made with steel and coal dust from the stricken ocean liner R.M.S. Titanic.The next in the series, announced by CEO Yvan Arpa during a press conference and gala evening at the Kempinski Hotel, will be in limited editions of 1969 to celebrate man's first landing on the Moon in that year.Five watches in the Moon Dust-DNA series include the Moon Rider, Gold Mood, Dark Side of the Moon, Steel Mood and Dark side of the Moon Tourbillon with only nine pieces being made.The company guarantees that the origin of each of the unique materials is certified by a legal document authenticated in Switzerland and each piece in the collection will be accompanied by a certificated from the Association of Space Explorers.

Romaine Jerome is presenting us another version of their Moon Dust Watch calling it as the Romaine Jerome Moon Dust Roswell watch. This version still includes the original materials from the moon but includes additional detailing that makes you love or hate this watch.Just like the other DNA watches, this Romaine Jerome Moon Dust Watch also includes the original materials that came from the moon and spacecraft that landed on the moon. This watch includes a case made of stainless steel and titanium material that includes original materials from the Apollo 11 spacecraft. It also includes a bezel made from a carbon fiber material that matches the black rubber strap.This watch also includes a dial that looks like a moon with its craters that are made with moon dusts. The only difference of this version is the skeleton like detailing found on the dial which looks like pirates with gold treasures beside them. This dial is also designed with a tourbillon at 6 o'clock revealing a part of the watch's movement.As expected, this Romaine Jerome Moon Dust Roswell Watch will definitely include an expensive price.
