Do you like cute Hello Kitty? The new luxury limited edition of RJ-Roman Jerome’s Swiss watch appeared on the market with a motif of this both beloved and damned pink kitten.
Hello Kitty has been an icon of pop culture since the mid-1970’s and still is today, more than 40 years later. She is both a phenomenon and one of the most expensive brands in the world and earns millions of dollars from selling their licences. Hello Kitty was born into Sanrio, the Japanese company and her author was the 28-year-old designer, Yuko Shimizu.
Despite the simplicity of the Hello Kitty character (two eyes like dots, six lines for whiskers and a round face), RJ-Roman Jerome’s luxurious Swiss watches have a sophisticated feel. The steel case has a diameter of 40 mm and, for wearing it comfortably, it is also equipped with hinges with joints. The watches remain waterproof to a depth of 30 metres and they are powered by the RJ003-A calibre.
These watches are available in 3 variants, of which we were most enchanted by the most luxurious one, whereby the entire Hello Kitty theme is studded with diamonds and pink sapphires. The luxurious faces of the watches are complemented by the dazzling 3D silver background.
These watches are definitely not everyone’s cup-of-tea, but they are different, funny and fresh. They are made in a limited edition of just 76 items of each variant.
