The Moon Invader Watch by Swiss horologist Romaine Jerome is a thing of beauty, a design anchored in futurism and calculated restraint. In a time where most modern watches focus on complex movement and complicated detail, the Moon Invader Watch represents a middle ground between that busy sense of modernism– and an equal focus on minimalism. Each of the design elements of this watch are perfectly balanced, with the bolted case not taking the center stage, and the wire mesh background of the face standing subtly behind a simple set of dials. The sense of balance in Romaine Jerome’s Moon Invader Watch is stunning, in that the components that comprise it yield a result more stunning than the sum of its parts. This Moon Invader may not be for every watch collector, but a serious horologist will immediately recognize the balanced approach Mr. Jerome has taken in the world of modern watch making.
