I feel like
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 back to allow more light in is such a great idea.
Just my thoughts on the watch. I like romain jeromes ideas and creations for the most part, but this literally reminds me of one of that ships from star wars, to big and clunky.
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...
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...
Thanks a lot Mo for your wise words!
And thanks for the discussion we had in Geneva around this topic! You played a big role in the decision... like the DB10 do you remember? ;) Fx
Very happy for you, Fx. you so often wrote articles on original watches
That it was time for you to get one of them! Bravo, and congratulations. Best, Nicolas
Thanks Nicolas! But the hardest part is just starting...
I have to wait two months to get it! Funny point: I met a friend yesterday who told me that he also bought it. Fx
Of course I do...
I am glad to be a little part of the experience....after all we are left with good memories..... Well done again.. Mo
Congratulations! I am concerned about the hour and minutes...
not being in the same plane for reading.
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!
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...

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...
