RJ Watches SA is based in Geneva, Switzerland, and has been headed by its CEO, Yuan Arpa, since 2007.
Founded in 2004, Romain Jerome is a brand that celebrates history. Famous for its 'DNA of Famous Legends' collection, its main star being a high-end timepiece which uses real steel from authentic parts of the ill-fated ocean liner, the Titanic,Romain Jerome continues to exude the avant-grade and visionary spirit of its CEO. Its birth, however, was inspired by the golfing fraternity who sought a watch specifically designed for the avid golfer. Romain Jerome took on the challenge and came up with the Hole in One Golf Counter - an ingenious timepiece that allows golfer to track their progress on the golf course and features golf-related design accouterments.
Founded on boldness and a love of uncommon design, Romain Jerome timepiece are also timekeeping intruments that pay tribute to the past and, with its 'DNAof Famous Legends' collection, might still be the only brand in the world that allows someone to wear a piece of history on his wrist.
Chemistry makes up a large part of a Romain Jerome watch. This interesting fact can be seen in many of its piece which use rusted steel. Iron oxide has always been the enemy of watchmaking but Romain Jerome's master watchmakers have succeeded in developing a rust stabilization process that protect the rusted material from further corrosion, as can be seen in the Titanic DNA timepiece, which further comes with a certificate of compliance from Harland & Wolf, the shipbuilder of the Titanic.
Everyone in the industry is awaiting the second instalment of Yvan Arpa's 'DNA of Famous Legends' collection. Bonus marks for those who can guess what's coming next. Also,dont miss the hot new chronograph just launched at BaselWorld 2008!
