Manuel Emch, CEO of RJ-Romain Jerome, was in Singapore recently to attend a Press luncheon hosted by luxury watch retailer The Hour Glass.
As some may know, Emch was a key contributor in the revival of watch brand Jaquet Droz. In 2010, he joined RJ-Romain Jerome and has since utilized his design background to oversee the creation of interesting timepieces.
Renowned for its unique concept "DNA of famous legends", RJ-Romain Jerome has developed various fascinating watches. One such example is the Moon-DNA series, where watches are made by incorporating moon dust as well as steel from the actual space shuttle, Apollo 11.
The brand has also created a diversity of other watches reflecting a certain era when arcade games such as Pac-man and Space Invaders were hugely popular. Iconic game characters are depicted on the dials of these watches, showcasing the creativity and uniqueness of the RJ-Romain Jerome brand.
