My view on the Romain Jerome Spacecraft

Foreword: the pictured watch is a prototype and some details will change like the readability of the hours display. It had to happen: after having put invaders and aliens on the dials or having walked on the Moon, Manuel Emch has transformed his last watc...
Congrats Fx!

Its a great piece and will be a wonderful addition to your collection! I actually loved the watch and I thought e strap was really great on it. Only negative (but was told as a proto and ould be better on production) was the very sharp corners on the base...
Thanks Andrew!

And I can't wait to have it on my wrist! Fx
This watch is a success on so many levels....

It manages to legitimise RJ after years of bad perception of the brand. Manuel Emch managed to slowly build brick by brick a serious profile to a brand that was left in ruins ...so Bravo to Mr Emch.... Obviously the aim of the brand is not to compete with...

I will tell you once the watch will be on my wrist! Fx
Wow! Congrats Fx!

I am really surprised at this sudden turn in direction when compared to your conservative past history in watch collecting. This piece is quite futuristic IMO and even a bit daring relative to other non-conformist designs. It must have really impressed yo...
Thanks Fernando for your nice words!
By: foversta : March 3rd, 2013-14:01
You know, it is not that surprising for me to take the plunge: I love the daring designs. The trouble is the price of the watches I love like the Urwerk 202... The two months with the UR-202 on my wrist were my best horological souvenir... This time, the ...
Congratulations. I love the ...

... straight on view of the face. It really does look like a 70's spaceship from Lost in Space or Space 1999. Some of my favourite television memories. I look forward to hearing more when it is on your wrist. Regards Andrew
Thanks Andrew !

Yes, it's true, I can't wait to have it on my wrist! But sadly, I think that I will have to wait till Baselworld! Fx
Congrats on that exclusive timepiece.

Hi, Nice watch, I kinda like it. An unsual design that reminds me, as you already said, of Darth Vader and Optimus Prime. I also can see some kind of Pandora's box, or the Hellraiser one, where the evil lives. It looks like you can push a lever to release...
I feel like
By: sybelite : March 5th, 2013-08:52
the watch is to big and does not have any curviture to the wrist, like its just sitting on the wrist to large. The numbers are very difficult to read. I wish I could afford the MB&F, that would be the one I get, the ability to lift the parts on the ba...
Congratulations Fx

such a piece of art which one cant be insouciance about the beauty of it, the roots of seventies when they craved for a new time display methods but technology was not much of a help as it is now a days . Faisal
Great review! But a misguided watch in my opinion...

Just because there is a bit of DNA in a concept does not mean that that DNA is a positive point. After having copied each other to oblivion and exhausted the possibilities of tourbillions, watch makers are now going back to the past to see what they can r...
