This jumped straight to the top of my wish list as soon as I saw it. Remember that volcano that’s been causing a bit of mischief across most of Northern Europe during Spring 2010? Remember? The unpronounceable Eyjafjallajökull volcano? Well a designer by the name of Romain Jerome has added to his fantastic collection, a limited edition watch that was fashioned out of the very rock and ashes of the now infamous volcano. Just look at it. The attention to detail is quite astonishing, never mind whether or not it had genuine ash in it or not. This surely has to go on most watch lovers watch list (too easy I know). That said you’ll have to fork out quite a fortune for this undoubtedly rare timepiece. So instead join me as I weep in happiness over something that quite simply can only be described as awesome.
A quote from Romain Jerome’s website:
With this unique Eyjafjallajökull-DNA model, RJ illustrates the legends of our time and the mythologies that will forge the memory of the 21st century. A timepiece with its finger on the pulse of the latest events, designed with ash from the erupting Eyjafjallajökull which is itself as one of the most intimate symbols of our global contemporary emotions.

You should check out the rest of Romain Jerome’s collection as the moondust and Titanic watches are quite epic too.
