BaselWorld 2012:

The company Romain Jerome used in its watches all sorts of fabulous materials to create models, even with the rust from the sunken "Titanic", now took up the dust, but not as usual as they say, a gold! But seriously, the company's representatives at the annual international exhibition BaselWorld 2012 has presented a novelty - a watch Moon Dust - Stell Mood Chrono, in the dial of which, as they claim, contains a small amount of this lunar dust!
That's it. Probably rust from the "Titanic" is coming to an end and the company begins to develop new cosmic spaces. On the technical side of the model, the new Moon Dust - Stell Mood Chrono (Ref: RJ.M.CH.002.01) is made on the basis of mechanical caliber RJ001-CH1 with automatic winding and chronograph function on the basis of 23 jewels.

Functions: central hands index hours and minutes, small second’s hand is located at the 9 o’clock position.

Moon Dust – Stell Mood Chrono (Ref: RJ.M.CH.002.01): if dust is from the Moon, is it worth to pay for it?

The case of the model with a diameter of 46 mm is made of stainless steel. The chronograph button is also made of stainless steel with a red insert, located at the 2 o’clock position, and the button, fully made of stainless steel, is at the 4 o’clock position. The screws are made of titanium. The glass, covering the dial, is sapphire with anti-reflective coating on both sides.
The bezel of the watch is made of stainless steel and carbon, including the details of the Apollo 11 spacecraft. The watch dial in gray, "moon" color is made from the mineral structure containing Moon dust and decorated as the lunar surface - by hand.
