Romain Jerome DeLorean DNA Watch
The DeLorean Motor Company (DMC) slogan was "Live the Dream." That dream lasted from only 1981 to 1983, but left a huge impact on pop culture. Now a limited edition watch by Romain Jerome attempts to bring back some of the magic. In 1983, the famous government cocaine sting operation ended John DeLorean's career and left the potential of the brand unrealized. Nevertheless, in 1985 Steven?Spielberg's?Back to the Future film immortalized the now iconic car that is an enduring symbol of optimistic 1980's futurism.While Back to the Future gave the DMC-12 automobile model new life, it was not the only thing that made the car a sci-fi symbol (though being heralded by Hollywood as the suitable base for a kick-ass time machine can't hurt at all).

I had gotten several quartz Hamilton watches as gifts from my wife over the years until I graduated from college and my mother gave me the gift of:I liked it because it was in the James Bond movie and I wore this quartz watch as my daily for many years. It seems like the bezel may have faded over time- now I know that patina is something y'all like :)As a complete surprise Christmas present, my wife put this in my stocking:Over time I came to be of the opinion that this was the perfect watch with a simple elegance that just couldn't be improved on, kind of the MacBook of the watch world. At that point I thought it would be the last watch I would wear until I retire and buy a Day-Date- because of course that is the watch you get when you retire. (this pic is on the wrist of my son who I gave it to for reasons that will become evident below.) This was my daily until t
