Nose Art DNA Watch

I know the Nose Art DNA watch by Romain Jerome isn’t anywhere near my budget, but the craftsmanship behind this watch is just too damn good to pass up. Taking unusual inspiration from the famous “Pink Lady” Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress aircraft, the Swiss-made watch is incredible in design without being too eccentric. It boasts a 46mm case that houses a mechanical self-winding Valjoux-based chronograph movement with 42 hours of power reserve, a sapphire crystal face and a calf leather NATO strap inspired by aviator straps – flip the watch over and you’ll find that it has an individually painted pin-up girl hidden behind the case. If the timepiece happens to fit your budget, pick it up in a black PVD-coated steel case with a green and brown camouflage dial or the red gold bezel with black PVD crowns and greyscale camouflage dial, but that’s only if you want to pay $3,000 more. The watches are limited to just 99 pieces of each colorway, which makes them even more unique than their design.
