Introducing the new Romain Jerome Steampunk 46 Auto. Images and Specifications.
Romain Jerome Steampunk 46 Auto Gunmetal Steel
RJ have completely re-energized the look and feel of the new steampunk giving it a contemporary and fresher feel. The new watch features a smaller case and a more sporty feel to it.
Inspired by the ocean liners of the 20th Century, the new Steampunk Auto 46 is a true testimony to the Industrial Revolution and to the artistic movement that followed. Housed in a new 46 mm black PVD-coated steel, steel or red gold case, this new collection embraces a new aesthetic sharing the brand’s bold and hedonistic spirit with a twist of history.

Romain Jerome Steampunk 46 Auto Red Gold
The Steampunk inspiration is visible throughout the design of the timepiece and its retro-futuristic dial. The oversized Roman XII and VI numerals are highlighted in either steel, black gold or red gold with RJ’s “rough” finish and matching minute and hour hands. This really is an amazing detail in the new Steampunk and shows off the characteristics of the watch design.
The tips of the hands recall anchors and browse through the dial, revealing each detail as time passes. Another strong reference to the ocean liners is revealed by the seconds hand at 9 o’clock, mirroring a propeller (Moving Seconds). The dial has been created to highlight the sturdy, circular graining and rigorously beadblasted blackened bridges which recall the raw energy emanating from a coal blackened engine room. The whole look and feel of this RJ Steampunk is second to none. They really have done a beautiful job with it. Its a conversation starter, put it that way!!
Each watch is only limited to 999 pieces and pays amazing homage to contemporary history.
The Steampunk Auto Gunmetal Black is $9,950 Euros, the Steampunk Auto Red is $17,500 Euros and the Steampunk Auto Gunmetal Steel is $8,950 Euros
