Romain Jerome Tetris-DNA Watch
The newest classic video game-inspired watch from Swiss Romain Jerome (RJ) is the Tetris-DNA, and it serves as yet another homage to a great 1980s-era video game. Tetris was actually a soviet game created in Moscow during the time of the USSR. Romain Jerome has already graced us with watches inspired by Space Invaders, PAC-MAN, and now, Tetris. In the future, more video game-inspired watches will come from Romain Jerome - we can promise you that.Romain Jerome now calls watches such as this which use their Moon Invader case style to be "Generational Icons." Romain Jerome had some interesting success with the "Titanic-DNA" watch that contained some metal actually collected from the Titanic. Even though the Titanic-DNA watch collection was controversial, it did spawn a lot of "DNA" watches. The goal of each is, of course, to contain some material from something special.
