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.

Romaine Jerome's latest Moon Invader collection is typically designed to embrace the epic lunar saga. The watch wears the symbolic 'X' on its dial and its 46 mm case is made from steel coalesced by fusion with spare parts from Apollo 11. It features a mesh pattern directly inspired by the woven metal strands on the tires of lunar roving vehicles. Another conspicuous feature to remind us of the lunar adventure is the embodiment of the special MOON SILVER plate on the stellar case-back of the watch. This engraved plate depicts the lunar surface, and the mineral particles interact on an infra-molecular level with the wearer of the watch. The Moon Invader watch has a Black Metal Automatic movement and a Calibre of RJ001-A. The watch is produced in a limited edition of 1969 pieces, so grab your piece of lunar legacy soon![Watch-happening]
