RJ-Romain Jerome – Skylab 48 Limited Edition















RJ-Romain Jerome MOON-DNA Skylab 48 Limited Edition NEW

RJ-Romain Jerome brings the stars 
to your wrist with the Skylab 48!

The Skylab timepiece has seduced many RJ-Romain Jerome fans with its distinctive design and complex skeleton dial. Inspired by NASA’s first space station, the Skylab timepiece is a testimony to Man’s technical achievements. 

RJ-Romain Jerome celebrates Historical milestones by conceptualising Legends and Icons into unique timepieces. In honour of these achievements, the iconoclastic brand has launched in 2014 its first skeleton timepiece, the Skylab.

For 2015, the design of this iconic timepiece has evolved and is now presented in a 48mm case. Reminding us of the complex structure of the original space station, the dial features a complex five layered skeleton which allows a perfect view of the mechanical movement.

The larger case beholds two sapphire glasses enhancing the view of the geometrical structured lines that are constructed around the heart of the timepiece. Composed of a single barrel at 12 o’clock, the skeleton movement also reveals the balance wheel at 6 o’clock. Furthermore the case has been made thinner to embrace its new size and further enhances the comfort of the timepiece.

These two additional timepieces stay true to the Moon-DNA collection with a Speed Metal model infused with Apollo 11 spacecraft steel inside the bezel whilst the red gold model evokes the brightness of astellar system visible for a spaceship’s porthole. Each watch is finished with a custom made black alligator strap.

The Skylab is the result of a thoughtfully crafted timepiece that combines a complex mechanism with an innovative design. Limited to 99 pieces per model, RJ-Romain Jerome creates once again a testimony to Man’s wildest dreams.

Ulysse Nardin – Dual Time Manufacture















Ulysse NardinDual Time Manufacture Limited Edition NEW

Click on the mouse wheel to see the large size ...                  BIG FOTO





























It’s a new world for the men’s Dual Time

Introducing a supremely modern and original design, the timepiece collection features a model with a bold blue face emphasized by a geometric rope motif, tying the watch to its nautical roots. The feeling of tradition is sharply juxtaposed by spike-styled indexes marking the hours; these unique elements are so “present” that they seem to call out the numbers on the dial.

Now, this incredible timepiece returns equipped with an automatic movement that has been developed, designed and manufactured entirely in-house: caliber UN-334. Endowed with a Big Date double window display, also adjustable in both directions, it boasts a silicon escapement, the height of watchmaking technology that very few brands are able to master.

Behind this simplicity of use – a true lesson in functionality – the Manufacture caliber UN-334 deploys the results of many years of research. Featuring a 48-hour power reserve, it is equipped with a silicon anchor, escape wheel and roller. The 4 Hz oscillator also has a patented 1.1.1. silicon balance spring, guaranteeing impressive accuracy.

Having made its watchmaking dйbut a little over 10 years ago thanks to the pioneering efforts of Ulysse Nardin, this highly contemporary material requires hardly any lubrication and resists wear more than any other. Complex to work with, its manufacturing techniques remain the prerogative of just a handful of watchmakers. The selfwinding movement, a technological gem, is showcased through a sapphire case-back.

On the opposite end of the spectrum is an ultra-classic timekeeper. Engaging in its quiet beauty, it showcases a warm ivory dial and a simple, linear Roman numeral XII and hour markers outlined in gold.

Independence through innovation: the Ulysse Nardin Manufacture constantly pursues the steep but extraordinarily worthwhile path it chose to take a few years ago. Offering hours, minutes, oversized small seconds at 6 o’clock, a big date double window display and second time zone functions, the Dual Time Manufacture is without doubt one of the easiest watches to read and adjust on the market. While the “home time” indicator advances steadily over 24 hours in an aperture at 9 o’clock, the small hand can easily be aligned with local time, either forward or backward.

 This is achieved simply by pressing the (+) or (-) pushers positioned at 10 o'clock and 8 o’clock, without having to remove the watch from the wrist or interrupting its timekeeping. The ultimate in mechanical refinement, the calendar function automatically synchronizes with adjustments made in either direction.

These two additions to the Dual Time portfolio provide the traditionalists and contemporaries, alike, an option just right for them.
