foversta introduces his Romain Jerome Spacecraft, a timepiece known for its polarizing design. His acquisition highlights a significant shift for the brand under Manuel Emch's leadership, embracing unconventional horology. This post captures the initial excitement and personal connection a collector feels with a truly unique watch.

I couldn't resist when I saw it in January: I decided to purchase a Romain Jerome Spacecraft. I know that it is a watch which causes a lot of very positive or negative remarks and I like this. I feel a lot of emotions when I have it on my wrist. My mother told me today: "eek, what the hell is this, it is very surprising!". It is obvious that when you are not used with this style of intriguing watches, you are very surprised!

I'm happy with the decision I took to put a different strap colour: the original is black and I never wear black straps. So I chose this anthracite grey colour and it works very well with the case.

Here are the first pics of this Spacecraft taken by the Lake today...

You will notice the sunny weather on Geneva!

I'm very happy with my first Wiederrecht & Giroud watch! Manuel Emch did a great job with this one because it brings something totally unusual to the Romain Jerome collection.

It is 3 o'clock...

... and 36 minutes!

A true UFO has landed on my wrist...

Thanks Bill!

To be honest with you, it is not the most legible watch on Earth... but after all, it is not the key point for me here! I wished to buy something really different! Fx
