romain jerome oxidized replicas

Limited Edition of One 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 volcano 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 �C 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 volcano.

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.

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.

As a sport-themed timepiece, benefits include 100 meters of water resistance as well as a durable rubber strap option.
