Titanic.The next in the series, announced by CEO Yvan Arpa during a press conference and gala evening at the Kempinski Hotel, will be in limited editions of 1969 to celebrate man's first landing on the Moon in that year.Five watches in the Moon Dust-DNA series include the Moon Rider, Gold Mood, Dark Side of the Moon, Steel Mood and Dark side of the Moon Tourbillon with only nine pieces being made.The company guarantees that the origin of each of the unique materials is certified by a legal document authenticated in Switzerland and each piece in the collection will be accompanied by a certificated from the Association of Space Explorers.

Here's Romain Jerome once again with another DNA watch and this time they are calling this as the Romain Jerome Crisis Tourbillon. This DNA watch features once again a unique material called moon dust which is actually collected from the moon.Like their other moon watches, this Romain Jerome Crisis Tourbillon is also created by using a real moon dust found on its dial. Aside from this, it is also equipped with a tourbillon found on the 6 o'clock position revealing the watch's amazing movement. This dial also includes currency symbols embedded on the craters which symbolizes the economic crisis that the world faces today. This watch is also made of other materials including some pieces from a spacecraft and the material that they use on spacesuits which make this watch a part of history but is obviously very expensive. This Crisis Tourbillon is highlighted with a white dial housed in a black case, bezel, and dial.This Romain Jerome is definitely a collectors' item but this will surely be available in limited edition that includes a very luxurious price. This will also include a certification that all materials are original and true.
