A First for the 46mm Case: Equipped with a Titanic Bezel


Romain Jerome was founded in Geneva, Switzerland, in 2004 to create timepieces based on an entirely new concept: "DNA of famous legends." The brand distills the DNA of legendary human events into Swiss watchmaking, with each piece imbued with an inexhaustible background and meaning.

The "Steampunk Collection" is the representative line of Romain Jerome. This popular collection masterfully expresses the world of steam power and steampunk, which emerged at the dawn of modern civilization during the Industrial Revolution of the early 20th century and later developed as a science fiction subgenre. From this Steampunk Collection, a model featuring a Titanic bezel—a first for the 46mm case—will be released as a Japan-exclusive limited to just 25 pieces.

As its name suggests, the newly released "Steampunk 46 Titanic Japan Edition" is inspired by the "Titanic." The bezel, deliberately given a rusted finish, contains actual steel from the Titanic. Originality is further infused through design elements reminiscent of the ship, such as the propeller-shaped seconds display at 9 o'clock and the pressure gauges positioned at 2, 4, 8, and 10 o'clock.

While maintaining the signature Steampunk style, the watch also boasts the intricate finishes characteristic of the collection, including dynamic red gold indices at 12 and 6 o'clock, as well as meticulous perlage and satin finishes.

The story, which celebrates steam power—humanity's greatest invention towards modern civilization—is romantically enhanced with the addition of the Titanic, creating a masterpiece destined to be preserved for posterity.
