A collaborative effort with internationally renowned Swiss artist, John M Armleder, this Romain Jerome timepiece is an artistic venture to remember and treasure. Ten unique timepieces were created, all of them were designed with the recurring skull motif represented in the artist’s work.
Inspired by Amerindian culture, the iconic skull motif now on this dial has actually previously, been beautifully represented in mural paintings and in a cut-out on a mirror. John M Armleder believe that “the skull evokes a memento mori and an allegory of the passing of time, which is an appropriate subject for a timepiece which interests both art and watch collectors”. His eclectic artistic motto is taken further “All these watches that give the impression of looking alike are ideally suited to death, which is basically the same for everyone, but takes place differently each time.”
Portrayed like a unique art piece, these Art-DNA wristwatches are made from polished steel and in excellent, almost-new condition. The skull motif applique is raised and stands out to decorate the hammered, polished dial. Truly one of a kind, each unique piece comes in a different color and no one is the same. The case back is numbered and features an engraved medallion of the artist’s signature.
