Innovative, some say weird, we say fresh, some say un-wearable. Well, we say its not meant to be worn and we think the critics should get a life it’s about time something innovative and out of this world hit the luxury watch industry. Romain Jerome's quirky take on odd and original materials to make his watches.
Moon Dust - DNA
Romain Jerome came up with a collection of watches called DNA of Famous Legends which praise the legends of our time through an exclusive collection of watches. The latest watch in his collection is called Moon Dust-DNA or affectionately called Romain Jerome Moondust or Romain Jerome moon watch. Whatever you choose to call it, the watch stretches beyond normal by incorporating authentic Moon dust, fragments of the Apollo XI and Soyuz spacecraft, and elements from the International Space Station into its design.
As far as how these components fit into the watch design; Moon Dust-DNA by Romain Jerome includes a ‘lunar’ dial based on the actual mineral deposit including Moon dust, 46 mm steel titanium case that uses steel from the Apollo XI spacecraft, rusted steel paws using fragments from Soyuz spacecraft, and a strap with fibers from a spacesuit worn during the ISS mission.
Still a little skeptical? Well, if you can afford to buy the watch then Romain himself guarantees the origin of the materials not only through an authenticated and certified legal document in Switzerland, but also a certificate from the Association of Space Explores (ASE).
