Romain Jerome Moon Dust DNA Watches: Stratospheric Prices, Galactic Novelty

Still, it is not cool enough that you are going to sell off your possessions to own one.The watches themselves are 46mm wide, and pretty thick (as you can tell). I am not clear on the movements they used, but there is a standard three hand movement (probably an ETA automatic 2892-2, and a sourced manually wound tourbillon movement). Prices are likely in the $50,000 - $200,000 range. They are definitely cool looking, and demand for them is strong. Apparently Romain Jerome is over 45 million dollars back ordered. Good to be them right now.These watches are every bit as expensive as the original Titanic DNA watches, but now in more flavors with dial faces like lunar su***ces complete with asteroid pock marks. I like how the off center subsidiary seconds dial on some of the watches is a little seconds hand moving in a particularly large (for the face) crater. It is just clever and fun. While the shapes and designs of the watches share elements from their Titanic collection, there is no Titanic metal in here; however, there are other materials of interest.First, there is a bit of actual moon dust on each of the faces. The moon dust has been certified as actually being from moon rocks, which coincidentally happen to be of the more rare elements on the Earth. The metal is taken from the Soyuz space craft (for the rusted steel claws on the bezel) and steel and titanium from Apollo XI is incorporated into the watch case. Lastly, along with the rubber strap seen on the watch, each comes with a special fiber strap that contains 'fibers' from spacesuits worn on the ISS (International Space Station). Yea, it is pretty gimmicky, but everyone reading this is thinking how cool it is.
