Moon-Dust DNA Watches by Romain Jerome
Moon dust is rare and collectors crave the commodity. They can go as far as purchasing moon dust and rocks on the black market. Why not purchase it legally and buy this limited edition watch? Romain Jerome made watches out of space parts from Apollo capsules and spacesuits. The watches are in a collection called Moon-dust DNA. An epic concept? How about an epic cost that’s totally out of this world: from $15,000 to $500,000. Just like MoonFire, the watches are limited to an edition of 1969. It makes me wonder… who handed over the spacesuits and capsule parts? Spacesuits are kept under lock and key in Suitland, Maryland. Does NASA approve? It looks like they need to start writing up official licensing agreements. I’m not sure how these watches fair on the current market, but I know a few watch collectors and enthusiasts. Personally, this watch better suits my needs.
