As much as I love a classically traditional, even antique,
aesthetic in my timekeeping devices, I also love a modern, sleek interpretation
too – and the Romain Jerome Skylab is probably one of my favourite examples of
ultra-modern, pared down horology. All the bridge work has been constrained to
right angles, which appear to hold no more than is absolutely necessary. This
skeletonized movement is so minimal it barely interrupts the view through both
crystals, allowing the exposed main spring to be its own power reserve
indicator. My favourite is the Heavy Metal – I like the unity achieved by appearing
to be entirely made from the same metal.
