From the same company that brought us a men’s watch made out of salvaged steel from the Titanic and another with real live moon dust comes perhaps the most timely horological release ever. The Eyjafjallajokull-DNA from Romain Jerome is a luxury timepiece that features actual ash and rock from that unpronounceable Icelandic troublemaker. Do we really need a men’s watch celebrating 10 days of disrupted ai***re, missed connections and botched travel plans? Clearly we do not, but you know what? We have to give it up to Romain Jerome for *** something so unique in such a short period of time. Has the ash even cooled yet? 98 Uniqueness Like the other Romain Jerome watches in the DNA collection, the Eyjafjallajokull is designed for the wearer who is looking for a wrist-bound conversation starter. We can all but guarantee this is the only timepiece on the planet to be made of Icelandic volcano ash. The dial is crafted to look like a molten volcano about to erupt, and Romain Jerome has done a tremendous job with that. The manufacturer claims this will be a unique piece, meaning there will be one in the world. Essentially, this watch was created to generate buzz around the brand, and at that it has certainly succeeded. The conception, a celebration of a natural occurrence that brought the airline industry and tourism in general to its knees, is as obscure as it comes in the world of watches. There is nothing like the Romain Jerome Eyjafjallajokull-DNA anywhere else in the world. Unless, of course, you count Romain Jerome Dark Side Of The Moon watch, in which case there are many watches like it, just using different dust. Read more 27 Durability Like all Romaine Jerome watches, the Eyjafjallajokull-DNA will benefit from world-class construction and a high-grade Swiss-made movement. However, what works for Romain Jerome in terms of hype works against it when it comes to longevity. Sure, this watch is funny and kitschy now, worthy of a blog post or two, but in 10 years who is even going to remember this third-rate natural disaster occurred? No one was injured, no buildings destroyed -- all it did was disrupt a few flights, forcing people to simply extend their vacations. It doesn’t sound too bad to us, really. The Romain Jerome Eyjafjallajokull-DNA is a collectible now and a novelty act in the future.

Here's Romain Jerome once again with another DNA watch and this time they are calling this as the Romain Jerome Crisis Tourbillon. This DNA watch features once again a unique material called moon dust which is actually collected from the moon.Like their other moon watches, this Romain Jerome Crisis Tourbillon is also created by using a real moon dust found on its dial. Aside from this, it is also equipped with a tourbillon found on the 6 o'clock position revealing the watch's amazing movement. This dial also includes currency symbols embedded on the craters which symbolizes the economic crisis that the world faces today. This watch is also made of other materials including some pieces from a spacecraft and the material that they use on spacesuits which make this watch a part of history but is obviously very expensive. This Crisis Tourbillon is highlighted with a white dial housed in a black case, bezel, and dial.This Romain Jerome is definitely a collectors' item but this will surely be available in limited edition that includes a very luxurious price. This will also include a certification that all materials are original and true.
