STEINHART - Diver "OCEAN two blue..."

STEINHART - Diver "OCEAN Two Blue..." NEW

Though related by name to the Ocean One, the Ocean Two is a completely new dive watch that has been developed by STEINHART over the course of several years. The in part polished and in part satin finished case as well as the multi-part dial, for example, where designed and produced substantially more complex as compared to its namesake. 

Particularly elegant in detail, the inlay of the Ocean Two's 120-click, knurled bezel made of sapphire crystal with its luminiscent markers really stands out as does the crown with similar features. However, the noble appearance of the Ocean Two should not fool anyone into doubting its professional character.

 



 Because with 300 meters water resistance, screw-in crown, domed sapphire crystal with double anti-reflective coating as well as a precise and robust Swiss automatic movement the O2 is ready to face pretty much any task.

RJ-Romain Jerome - ART-DNA "Día de los Muertos" Limited Edition

RJ-Romain Jerome -  ART-DNA "Día de los Muertos" Limited Edition NEW

RJ BREAKING NEWS - RJ celebrates the Día de los Muertos

Every year in Mexico, celebrations honouring the dead brighten up the whole country. Classified as part of UNESCO’s "Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity" since 2003, the "Día de los Muertos" is the most important date in the Mexican calendar. RJ-Romain Jerome has decided to pay tribute to this traditional custom with a watch in which every detail echoes the joyful, colourful festivities that accompany the Day of the Dead.

One has to go back 3,500 years to find the origins of the "Día de los Muertos", when pagan rites of Aztec origin blended with customs inherited from the Spanish colonialists. In Aztec times, people came to the graves of the dead in their families to dance, sing and place offerings intended to fulfil the needs of the dead in the after-life. This tradition did not completely disappear with the arrival of the Spanish colonialists who simply changed the date of the festival so that it coincided with the Christian celebrations on All Saints Day at the beginning of November. 

Still today, the "Día de los Muertos" is an occasion for the Mexicans to laugh at death with a certain degree of irony combined with a great deal of humour, derision and sarcasm. Music, sweeties, tequila, brightly coloured decorations and many caricatures of the dead enliven the streets across the country.

RJ-Romain Jerome has decided to take its turn celebrating the Day of the Dead with a timepiece available in two different versions, both issued in 25-piece limited editions. Calling upon its watchmaking skill, RJ’s inspiration for the dial of this watch dedicated to the "Día de los Muertos" was drawn from traditional Mexican decorations. A carefully hand-crafted colourful applique adorned with a champlevé decoration, cold enamelled in different colours, emulates the look of the "calaveras" – the skulls made of sugar given away by the Mexicans as good luck tokens during the entire festival.

The seven colours on the applique are a reminder of the seven stages through which the soul of the dead must pass before being able to rest in peace. The case is made of black PVD-coated steel, associated with a bezel and “paws” in black ceramic. The mirror-polished dial features an engraving of the brand’s emblematic X shape, along with the applied RJ logo. The watch is fitted with a black Hornback alligator strap. The sombre colours of these different elements evoke those of darkness and make a striking with the bright colours of the skull-shaped applique.

This way of perceiving death, tinged with light-hearted irony, is unique to the Mexican culture to which RJ-Romain Jerome is paying tribute. With this timepiece in homage to the "Día de los Muertos", the watchmaking Maison can also claim to have tamed death and thus made it a playmate.
