Earth, air, water and fire: RJ-Romain Jerome offers the raw energy of imagination to those who nurture their most secret dreams. Born at the dawn of the 3rd millennium, RJ-Romain Jerome draws upon the strength of the elements to create the watches for the new horological era. The magic of the moon, the power of lava, the mysteries of the deep, are the poetic driving forces behind this creative explosion. Whether through steel recovered from the Titanic or the Apollo 11 space shuttle, through silver mingled with moon dust or sculpted volcanic lava, RJ-Romain Jerome asserts its iconoclastic spirit and electrifies tradition by celebrating contemporary legends. Its approach blends raw character and elaborate refinement, drawing as much on the roar of an erupting volcano as on the writings of H.G. Wells. A taste for adventure, an all-conquering spirit and a visionary avant-gardism, fueled by unbridled imagination, underlie the ?Titanic-DNA?, ?Moon-DNA? and ?Eyjafjallajökull-DNA? collections. These three worlds exalt contemporary horizons through a contemporary and resolutely masculine touch. From the ocean depths to the immensity of space, from incandescent lava to age-old minerals, the RJ-Romain Jerome collections are far more than just astonishing watches: they define a new era in watchmaking. Offering every man a chance to explore a fantastic new dimension, they also embody the values of their times: a sense of distinctiveness, a need for speed, and a spectacular yet discreetly sophisticated aura of virility.
