RJ-Romain Jerome’s “DNA of Legends” watches never really caught on
with me, but I keep an eye on the brand because it has a unique
platform, is very innovative, not afraid to take risks, and now and
again they do come up with a piece that really resonates with my
preferences (for example, the way cool Space Invaders Watches).
The piece you see here is the latest in the “moon-DNA” collection,
following the “black mood” and “steel mood” pieces of the same design. I
like how this piece turned out — in addition to the distinctive
RJ-Romain Jerome design codes, a few things stand out: carbon fiber
bezel, hand-sculpted lunar grey dial (of course containing actual Moon
dust), and “four-blade satellite solar panel” style seconds counter (9
o’clock), among other design elements. At at hefty price of almost
27,000 CHF, I see a piece like this as somewhat of an expensive novelty
item and thus more for those who already have their Patek, Audemars
Piguet, etc. i.e. this is not a foundational piece for a watch
collection, but something that comes after you get tired of the
traditional.
