Romain Jerome Spacecraft: Batman Watch
The memorable Romain Jerome Spacecraft has a new family member and it's inspired by the caped crusader from Gotham City. The Romain Jerome Spacecraft: Batman is an edgy update on the original model that split opinion with its bizarre shape and novel time indication system. I'm all for uniqueness and instant identifiability and so can't help but admire the Romain Jerome Spacecraft.
