To mark RJ- Romain Jerome’s first women’s only collection, the luxury Swiss brand is paying tribute to an undeniable iconic figure, Hello Kitty.
RJ is offering the perfect setting for Hello Kitty through the brand’s most distinctive case, the Moon Invader. The more neutral steel case, unique to the 40 mm models, helps emphasize Hello Kitty placed at the center of the highly-crafted dial.
Faithful to RJ’s Generational Icons collection, the new timepieces reproduce mid-70s aesthetics illustrated by a silver-finished pixel dial. The different finishes and pixel levels create a true sense of depth, increased by the black outline of the hand-filled applique placed on top.
The RJ X Hello Kitty watch, featuring a Swiss Made mechanical self-winding movement, allows maximum comfort on the wrist thanks to the articulated lugs which are exclusive to RJ.
The collection showcases Hello Kitty’s personalities translating into different models: glossy with the lacquered applique and the polished bezel, sparkling with an added set bezel or glittery with the applique in diamonds and pink sapphires.
Each model is limited to 76 pieces to celebrate the year of the rise of the Hello Kitty character.
