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

The Moon Invader is Romain Jerome's latest work of art, inspired and in commemoration of the great moon landing of Apollo 11. The Moon Invader is crafted from steel coalesced by fusion with Apollo 11's spare parts, it's like wrapping your wrist with a legend. Now you have a concrete memoir of the history-making day Apollo 11 landed on the moon.Aside from being engineered from a legendary mechanical wonder, the moon Invader also has a steel surface made from black coated PVD that is both super durable and scratch resistant. The X is also present on the dial just like the rest of Romaine Jerome's creations, which is made with the "mesh pattern" inspired by woven metal strands that can be found on the wheels or tires of a lunar rover.
