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.

I saw this in Paris Vogue and just had to share. This is by Jean Paul Gaultier from 2009/10. Amazing. Here’s another picture of it.

P.S. Not Lady Gaga.

Visit Louis Vuitton Journeys website dedicated to the Annie Leibovitz photoshoot for the Apollo 11 40th Anniversary. See footage of the shoot and hear astronauts Sally Ride, Buzz Aldrin, and Jim Lovell talk about their adventures in space. I am so in love with this campaign simply based on the idea of travel and Louis Vuitton bags.
