Romain Jerome celebrates 25 years of the fall of the Berlin Wall. To mark the occasion, the Swiss manufacture is launching the Berlin-DNA, a new model in the Historical Icons collection.

2014 is a historic year for Berlin, as it marks the 25th anniversary of the Fall of the Berlin Wall. November 9, 1989, marks the Fall of the Berlin Wall, a wall that separated West Berlin from East Berlin for more than 28 years. To commemorate this day, many exhibitions and special events will take place. Berliners and visitors of the city will have the opportunity to stroll along the course of the Wall, recollecting and imagining the magnitude of the past disunion. A number of gathering spots with guided tours, historic lectures, exhibitions, and information pavilions will be installed along the route, and the East Side Gallery will be one among them. For this special occasion, RJ-Romain Jerome has teamed up with The East Side Gallery to create a special timepiece inspired by the euphoria that fell in the dawn of the reunification of Germany - the Berlin-DNA.
People on top of the Berlin Wall at Brandenburg Gate, just before the Fall of the Wall, on the night of November 9, 1989.
The East Side Gallery is the longest open-air gallery in the world. The Gallery is more than a kilometer long, and it is created from the Berlin Wall, just after the reunion, in 1990. The East Side Gallery gathered 118 artists from all over the world, to paint their art along the east side of the wall. The 1316 meter long gallery is also the longest part of the Berlin Wall that is still standing. Unfortunately, after 25 years, many of these works of art became windswept, damaged by environmental hazards, pollution, and even vandalism… That is why Romain Jerome decided to help preserving this historical emblem, by contributing all proceeds from the sale of the Berlin-DNA timepiece to the East Side Gallery.
The Romain Jerome Berlin-DNA timepiece is issued in a limited edition of 25 exemplars. The watch is made of black PVD-coated stainless steel, and fitted with a black ceramic bezel. Its gray dial depicts a part of Berlin, as seen from the bird's-eye perspective. The route of the Wall is highlighted in red, while green Superluminova and a blue line represent the Spree River. The design of the dial recalls the moment of the fall of the Wall, which occurred after the onset of darkness in the city. Inspired by the Fall of the Wall, Romain Jerome has treated the entire dial with Superluminova, allowing the three-dimensional streets and buildings to light up in the dark. In the spirit of Romain Jerome’s historical collections, the fragments of the Wall have also been incorporated into the dial of the timepiece…
The case-back of the Berlin-DNA reveals yet another memorabilia – the reproduction of one of the most famous paintings found on the East Side Gallery wall: “The Brother kiss” painted by Russian artist Dmitri Vrubel. The painting is inspired by a picture taken in 1979, on the occasion of the 30th anniversary of the Deutsche Demokratische Republik. It depicts Soviet leader Leonid Brezhnev and East German President Erich Honnecker, kissing each other.
Romain Jerome Berlin-DNA is powered by the mechanical self-winding movement RJ001-A, which beats at 28,800 vibrations per hour and provides around 42 hours of power reserve. The movement is mounted on 23 jewels, and it is protected from the ingress of water to up to 30 meters. Its 46mm-wide case is mounted on a black Hornback crocodile leather strap with black PVD-coated steel folding clasp. Each watch from this 25-piece series is referenced as RJ.T.AU.BE.001, and it retails at CHF 12,950, EUR 12,950, or USD 15,950.
