Continuing its conquest of the solar system and flirting once again with the infinity of space, RJ-Romain Jerome offers a new perspective of its Moon-DNA collection by presenting four new 1969 timepieces.

Introducing a retro, vintage design and a lighter 43mm case, the new 1969 timepieces reflect a nostalgic and bygone era of thin, geometrical clean lines combined with colourful, animated dials that will transport their owners into the mystical world of outer space.

1969 Collection by RJ Romain Jerome

On the first version, the avant-garde Maison shines light on the dial crafted with a new component, brought to us directly from outer-space and formed within the solar nebula disk billions of years ago : the Meteorite. Often referred to as “The crust of other worlds”, the meteorite is the most solid layer of any extraterrestrial rock found on earth. RJ-Romain Jerome has chosen a type of meteorite much rarer than platinum or gold : Chondrites. This 1969 Meteorite satin-finished steel timepiece is tinted with man’s dreams of the great unknown as most Meteorites, which have impacted the earth, are thought to have originated from the Asteroid belt between Jupiter and Mars.

Always using innovative materials, RJ-Romain Jerome has also found inspiration in Mother Earth’s treasures for the dials of three other 1969 timepieces. Commonly referred to as “SI” in the periodic table, the brand has used silicon on the dials of the 1969 models. Silicon, also known as Silicium represents 90% of the Earth’s crust and is commonly used, once highly purified, as a semiconductor in most electronics today as well as in manufactured movements.

Presented in blue, grey and brown, this natural translucent and very fragile element is coloured using a special PVD process giving the colours a textured finish highlighting each bold detail of this natural element.Echoing the 1969 meteorite, the blue and grey Silicon dials are also perfectly fitted in a satin-finished steel case whereas the infinity of space is featured with a brown dial integrated into a black PVD-coated steel case and bezel.
