Romain Jerome Moon Orbiter
Most companies still making traditional mechanical watches tend to be conservative with their designs, to ensure a timeless appeal that will help the investment increase in value over time. And then there’s Romain Jerome, who’s incorporated everything from Donkey Kong to Pikachu into its timepieces. The Moon Orbiter, as the name implies, incorporates something especially unique: a small amount of actual moon dust and metal salvaged from the Apollo 11 spacecraft and mission. It also happens to be a remarkable piece of engineering, with a flying tourbillon placed front and center, but that’s not the main reason collectors will be willing to shell out $115,000 for it.
