Romain Jerome (RJ) isn’t beating around the bush with this one. They call it what it is. This is the new RJ Steampunk – and is a follow-up timepieces to the limited edition Romain Jerome Titanic-DNA Tourbillon Steampunk (hold on, let me take a breath) A la Grande watch from a few years ago. There are some differences in style, but the main change (aside from the dial design) is the lack of “Titanic DNA” part of the name and this time RJ uses a movement without a tourbillon -which will certainly help with affordability.

The Steampunk is large at 50mm wide and the bezel is oxidized metal (going with the Titanic DNA theme). The “X” motif of the bezel claws are continued with screws that go deep into the dial. These screws are also meant to resemble steam engine pistons. The large Roman numeral hour markers for 12 and 6 are large and purposes done in a scratched-up texture. We have seen these hands before – and they are meant to evoke the Titanic’s anchor. It is pretty neat and still feels wild. A watch like this is easy to poke comments at, but think about it… you’d probably gladly wear it.
