romain jerome five black ii replica

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.

Like each Moon Dust DNA watch made by Romain Jerome, the Dark Side of the Moon includes a certificate ensuring that it includes actual moon dust particles in the material construction of the dial, which includes metal taken from the Apollo XI spacecraft for the case, as well as ceramic and oxidized metal taken from the Soyuz spacecraft for the claws. The 46-mm-wide case construction combines carbon fiber, titanium and steel for a look as science fiction as it is handsome. With all of its style, the Romain Jerome Dark Side of the Moon still reflects functionality with legible hands and a clever subsidiary seconds dial. 95 Uniqueness What other watch has hands inspired by Sputnik? While the Dark Side of the Moon is one model in the Moon Dust DNA watch collection, no one other than Romain Jerome has offerings like this. In addition to the rubber strap, an included alligator strap features reinforcement with fiber from an actual International Space Station space suit which just adds to the space exploration theme of the watch. Utilization of these exclusive materials based on special partnerships literally makes each Romain Jerome unique, and with its fashion-forward exterior the Dark Side of the Moon has no comparison. Read more 80 Durability Durable materials make up the Dark Side of the Moon watch -- though this is strictly a luxury timepiece. The carefully detailed dial is bound to be delicate, but the automatic mechanical C22RJ51 movement inside the watch will run for ages if taken care of properly. As a sport-themed timepiece, benefits include 100 meters of water resistance as well as a durable rubber strap option. Like the moon itself, the watch has an almost timeless design fit for those who will immediately be taken by the design. Ariel Adams publishes the watch review site aBlogtoRead.com.
