PRESIDENT / MANAGING DIRECTOR AMERICAS / EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE - LUXURY WATCHES AND JEWELRY
Many believe time is the ultimate luxury. At RJ, we think a bit differently. We believe that there is no time like the present. For us, the moment is now and it demands to be harnessed. That philosophy has shaped the iconic watches we have produced: timepieces that blend the most elemental of raw materials with creative flair, exceptional originality, contemporary sophistication and Swiss craftsmanship. Founded in 2004 as Romain Jerome, the company rebranded in 2018 to become simply RJ, purposefully placing itself at the cutting-edge of Swiss Made creative culture. Our watches, inspired by popular culture, exploration, technology and fashion are designed to excite life's most curious explorers with their beauty, sophistication, rarity and cultural significance. RJ watches have become renowned not simply for their recognizable designs but also for the way in which they literally blend the most rare, unprocessed elements from historical landmarks into their very essence. RJ's "Moon Dust" watches celebrate the extraordinary feat of space travel. RJ "Titanic" watches are hewn from the actual steel that was used to construct the great ocean liner.RJ is also celebrated for its unique ‘Collaboration' timepieces that are inspired by popular culture's most revered characters. Produced through official collaborations in extremely limited numbers, these watches are often released to coincide with landmark anniversaries, such as the 75th anniversary of Batman. Such exclusive timepieces represent the perfect alchemy between a prestigious horological masterpiece and the emblem of a new generation.In 2018, that intention to excite, provoke and curate great watch stories continues. For the first time RJ has its own signature collection - ARRAW. Our all-new core collection is available for both men and women as a range of cutting-edge chronograph timepieces that are inspired by RJ's passion and commitment to true originality, sophistication and individuality.
