Romain Jerome watches are indeed legendry. However, the creators of these watches maintain a low profile. We have only a trickle of information about the company. The facts we know about the company may be jotted down in a sentence. Romain Jerome watches are crafted by a Swiss Jeweler and the name of the CEO is Manuel Emch.

Romain Jerome watches launched in 2004 became an iconic brand in the challenging world of high-end horology. It is indeed a daunting task for a new company to penetrate the bastion of the niche area of luxury watches mostly monopolized by the legendary watch makers of Switzerland with a heritage running over many hundreds of years, such as Patek Philippe, Vacheron Constantin, and others. In this tough world of heritage marketing Romain Jerome ventured with awesome designs and the flamboyant display of the DNA of famous legends. Today the world recognizes Romain Jerome as an iconic brand that permits you to wear a piece of history around the wrist.
