RJ reveals the first collection of its new line ARRAW
Taking after the Titanic-DNA and Moon Dust models, the design of the all-new ARRAW line is a revolution in as of itself. It remains true to the RJ DNA through its bumpers; shaped lugs; and iconic and proprietary arrow-shaped hands that lent their name to this product line.

A well balanced, sturdier and sleeker 45mm case; a circular bezel opening on the dial; a screwed-in crown; push-buttons inspired by pistons; the 4 iconic bumpers - a key trait of the brand's DNA - in black rubber, matching the composite elements ornamenting the polished, satin-finished lugs.

ARRAW sports a practical and fast-working strap changing system that doesn't need tools to function: the strap can be released with a simple click by pushing simultaneously on the two lug screws. On the clasp, a release lever allows the strap to detach from the new deployant buckle which blends harmoniously with the case. A variety of interchangeable rubber and alligator straps was launched with the first models of the collection.

The base of the dial is sun-brushed, galvanized and gradient-painted, then coated with transparent lacquer giving it utmost depth. The chronograph's galvanic black counters integrate the dial, and are surrounded by circular displays that match the satin-finished SuperLuminova hands.

The self-winding RJ 2040 chronograph movement displays a '30 minutes' counter at 9 o'clock, a '12 hours' counter and a date window at 6 o'clock, and a small second at 3 o'clock. The watch is waterproof up to 100 meters.

CEO of RJ Marco Tedeschi shared: "I am extremely happy and proud to present here in Basel this first creation and the brand's new backbone, which was produced by our RJ team in a record time of two months. We have envisioned the ARRAW collection as a basis for further developments in which we can integrate our future manufacture movements."

ARRAW is available in 45mm and 42mm, with male and female models in titanium, red gold and black ceramic, a first for RJ. The first timepieces will be out in June 2018.
Born in Geneva in 2004, and embodying the most intense creative side of Swiss Made culture, RJ has transformed the beauty of the raw, into accessible and inviting sophistication. Our designs draw inspiration from nature’s raw elements - sea, earth and space - and combine them with reinterpretations of history, culture and even pop-culture, with creations such as “Moon Dust”, “Titanic”, “Spider-Man” and “Batman”.

In 2018, we embark on a new mission towards a promise of Smart Luxury and Raw Elegance.
Our inspiration: the human story. Our approach: a return to nature, to the bare essentials, and with such radical means, we turn raw into sophisticated.
We blend pure, unprocessed elements with our craftsmanship; the result is so natural and harmonious, it appears as if it were meant to be. And that is how #JustRaw comes to life.
Our watches appeal to curious explorers of life and its pleasures, especially those having an eye for the beautifully complex structures of nature, subtly illuminated by the hands of our craftsmen.

The ARRAW chronograph Titanium Blue NEW model is presented in a 45mm titanium case with other titanium components such as a circular bezel, a screwed-in crown and push-buttons inspired by pistons. The four iconic bumpers - a key trait of the brand’s DNA - in black rubber, are matching the composite elements ornamenting the polished, satin-finished titanium lugs.
The new journey kicks off with ARRAW, our new core collection for men and women.
RJ is also launching RJ FORGE, its manufacture bringing together all step of its creations.
