Romain Jerome introduces an exclusive new limited edition timepiece dedicated to the Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC), which is a leading global financial hub for the Middle East, Africa and South Asia region. At the same time, the new Romain Jerome DIFC-DNA celebrates the long-time partnership with Ahmed Seddiqi & Sons, the Middle East’s premium retailer of luxury Swiss watches. Remaining faithful to Romain Jerome’s creative tradition, this highly technical timepiece incorporates original screws sourced from the iconic structure. The watch is issued in a strictly limited series comprising only seven timepieces, which have all been commissioned by Sir Mohammed Abdulmagied Seddiqi.
The DIFC-DNA watch features a 44 mm-wide stainless steel case fitted with satin-finish skeletonized lugs and polished paws. A rusted steel bezel frames its openworked dial, incorporating the screws donated from the DIFC Gate Building. The unique bezel is obtained using the same process applied to the Titanic collection, from rusted, oxidized and stabilized steel.
The manual-winding movement RJ004-M has been fully skeletonized, and stripped down to its bare essentials. Its architectural structure, reflected in straight lines and angled bridges, evokes the look of the famous federal financial free zone situated in the Emirate of Dubai, United Arab Emirates. The 3-layered skeleton structure of the movement features a distinctive grey NAC finish, allowing for maximum transparency. The movement beats at a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour, and it offers around 48 hours of power reserve.
Romain Jerome DIFC-DNA was launched a couple of days ago, during the Dubai Watch Week. The jeweled movement of this model reveals subtle touches of purple, which is also the official color and symbol of this global event dedicated to the craftsmanship and innovation in watch industry. The small seconds counter indicators, as well as the RJ logo, are lacquered in purple, and purple stitches have been sewn on the integrated alligator strap.
Romain Jerome DIFC-DNA, reference number RJ.M.AU.023.03, is available only at Ahmed Seddiqi & Sons, Dubai. More info at romainjerome.ch.

The independent Swiss brand, notable for its exploration of the 80’s Skulls n’ wheels trend, offers yet another imaginative interpretation of skulls.

Romain Jerome the Batman-DNA Gotham City
The latest iteration of the Batman-DNA pays tribute to the City of Gotham, a fictional American city, and a home of the famous Caped Crusader – Batman. The famous American Writer, Frank Miller, the author of The Dark Knight Returns, once metaphorically stated that Gotham City is nothing but New York at night. Perhaps that is why Romain Jerome decided to create a dial that comes to life at night. Thanks to a strong blue-emission SuperLuminova, the dial lightens up in low light conditions, giving even deeper perspective to a sophisticated dial bu...
