The Future Is Now
To most, the three-hand display is still the best way of telling time. However, a few avant-garde watch makers have come up with some new solutions, which are interpreted through their cutting-edge design.
Within a decade, Swiss watchmaker RJ Romain Jerome has certainly made its mark in the lucrative world of horology. Primarily, the company is known for its successful range of DNA watches that incorporate elements from the Titanic and Apollo 11 space shuttle. The Spaceship is probably their most futuristic design and is definitely one of our favourite. It's also one of their largest timepieces, measuring an imposing 50mm x 44.5mm x 32.85mm. What makes this watch so visually striking is the vertical digital jumping hour display and rotating minutes which is positioned on the top of the watch. Jean-Marc Wiederrecht has devised a highly complicated mechanical movement to power the watch. The RJ2000-A comprises 54 Jewels, and oscillates at a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour (4hz)
