Notes

Romain Jerome has mastered the art of storytelling through materials in its renowned “DNA” collection, and the Moon Orbiter is perhaps its most celestial chapter. This limited edition is a wearable piece of history, featuring a case incorporating metal of the Apollo 11 spacecraft and a dial infused with genuine moondust, sprinkled over a geometric star pattern. Yet, for all its historical weight, the watch is a feat of modern micro-mechanics. The name «Orbiter» is perfectly embodied by the spectacular flying tourbillon on the left. Powered by a La Joux-Perret automatic movement, this isn’t just a complication—it’s the soul of the timepiece, featuring a custom rocket-shaped carriage that orbits in poetic motion. The openworked architecture offers a front-row view of its constant rotation, while sapphire windows on the case side provide a unique lateral perspective, adding a stunning sense of depth and dimension. With the primary time display elegantly positioned to the right, the entire composition is a balanced and mesmerizing spectacle. More than a watch, this is a gravitational centerpiece for any collection. Limited to just 25 examples.
