Romain Jerome Titanic DNA Day & Night Watch: A Philosophical Take On Timekeeping
Back
Mar 5, 2008

The Romain Jerome Titanic DNA Day & Night watch turns convention on its ear.
This new timepiece features a novel Romain Jerome watch movement that utilizes two tourbillons connected by a differential mechanism. Designed by BNB Concept, who specializes in unusual tourbillon executions, the "RJ One" movement omits a system of any hands in favor of a contemplative tourbillon operation whereby the "Day" tourbillon operates for 12 hours to symbolize working life, while the "Night" tourbillon takes over afterward to represent an individual's private time.
Like other timepieces in the Romain Jerome Titanic DNA series, the Day & Night watch case incorporates elements made from steel salvaged from the 1912 Titanic shipwreck, in combination with new steel obtained in Belfast's Harland & Wolff shipyard, where the famous vessel was built in the early 20th century.
