Luxury watch aficionados who also fancy themselves as gaming nerds are going to love the new Romain Jerome Space Invaders collection. Luxury watch maker Romain Jerome has collaborated with the TAITO Corporation on an ultra-exclusive set of watches inspired by the iconic arcade game.
The Romain Jerome Space Invaders collection comes in two styles, with each style limited to 78 pieces. Both styles feature the same scene, with the only real difference being the color scheme. I, for one, am torn between the all-white and the more multicolor faces as both are incredibly eye-catching. No release dates or pricing details have been announced, but I would definitely expect these watches to cost quite a few quarters.
