On the back of each Moon Invader watch, a silver disc evokes a miniature moon featuring a moonscape-textured surface. A few grams of moon dust have been injected into the silver, accordingly named Moon Silver, from which this disc was cut out. FUSION The moon dust (a certified sample) is amalgamated with the precious metal in a crucible. This amalgam requires perfect mastery of silver fusion, at a temperature of exactly 961�� celsius the operation was successfully conducted at Cendres & M��taux, a company based in Biel, Switzerland and specialising in the treatment of metals for high-end watchmaking. BLANKING The Mon Silver is then poured into ingots that are laminated to the thickness required to be blanked into rough discs ready to be stamped. The Moon Silver used by Romain Jerome is in itself an extremely special "technological" silver that acquires a beautiful patina through contact with the wrist rather than merely becoming oxidised like ordinary silver. FINISHING The rough silver discs are then repeatedly struck with a dedicated tool in successive stamping operations interspersed with annealing operations on the matter, before being entrusted to the master-engraver who creates perfect finish for the Romain Jerome Moon Silver disc.

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.
