"It was RJ-Romain Jerome’s wish that its DeLorean-DNA remains true to the car’s inimitable aesthetic appeal. Entirely made of brushed stainless steel, this chronograph uses the same materials as the original bodywork of the DeLorean car, of which certain elements have been melted together with the steel of the bezel. The dial is engraved with cross-strut traverses picking up the iconic X-shaped design that has become a RJ-Romain Jerome brand signature. The ring surrounding the minute counter at 3 o’clock evokes the original design of the wheel rims, while the hands are inspired by automobile dashboards. The small seconds dial has the same colours and look as the car’s tail-lights. A medallion engraved with a DeLorean adorns the case-back, along with the number of the watch, which is limited to 81 – a reference to the year the car was manufactured. In a final nod to the original model, the strap made of upholstery leather features anthracite grey stitching similar to the interior of the DeLorean car.
The DeLorean has remained engraved on collective memory due to its visionary concept and avant-garde design. There are only 6,500 left in the world and a very active community of fans and owners’ clubs has been built up around this famous car. Today, this tribe is joining that of watchmaking collectors for a watch that pays tribute to one of the major legends in the automative industry.
Are you ready for a journey of a lifetime with RJ-Romain Jerome?"
