On the 100th anniversary of the Titanic, RJ-Romain Jerome once again celebrates this incredible human achievement by enriching its collection with a unique retro-futuristic timepiece: the Steampunk Chrono. The provocative and surprising aesthetic appeal and devastating personality of this chronograph embody an authentic industrial revolution.
Housed in a 50mm-diameter case, the Steampunk Chrono is devoid of any dial. This enables observers to appreciate in full the rigorous lines and sturdy build of a mechanism that commands respect.
Composed over more than 300 parts and secured by 4 screw-down pistons symbolising the brand’s famous “X” motif, this mechanical self-winding movement specially developed for RJ-Romain Jerome has a 42-hour power reserve.
The Steampunk Chrono displays an impressive capacity to integrate and optimise the signature codes of the Titanic-DNA collection.
Witness the bezel in oxidised and stabilised steel stemming from the extraordinary fusion between the metal of the legendary wreck lying 3,840 metres below the sea, and that provided by the Harland & Wolff shipyard in Belfast where the Titanic was built a century ago. This bezel is held firmly in place by four steel, black PVD-coated or red gold “paws”.
These powerful artistic codes are reproduced on the upper bridge that is satin-brushed or circular-grained according to the model. The hands also pay homage to the anchor of the gigantic ocean liner.
