Romain Jerome and CEO Yvan Arpa Part Ways
Romain Jerome has announced that it has parted ways with CEO Yvan Arpa. Also leaving the company are the head of administration, the sales director and two other staff members. No reason was given for the departures. Romain Jerome’s press release states that “…the change of management in no way jeopardizes the ongoing success of the company, which continues to enjoy excellent sales, promising order volumes and an extremely strong brand image.” Romain Jerome was founded in 2004 and Yvan Arpa joined the firm in 2006. During his tenure, Arpa created a series of eyebrow-raising timepieces including one made from pieces of the Titanic, another priced at $300,000 that did not tell the time, and for 2009 one called “The Truth About Roswell” that incorporates moon dust into the dial (pictured below). The company assures us that deliveries of the Moon Dust-DNA collection will take place according to the planned schedule.

Maurice de Mauriac Moon Chronograph Watch
A particularly attractive line from Maurice de Mauriac of Zurich is this Moon Chronograph watch collection. It comes in many different versions (see here), but is a pretty clever take on use of a Valjoux 7751 automatic movement. Seen here is the top of the line piece in solid pink gold, but the diversely customizable collection is offered in various case sizes, in various materials, with various dials.See my full article on the Maurice de Mauriac Moon Chronograph watch at Haute Living here.

So you can imagine how few of those end up on the eBay America. Watch Expo is one of the few US dealers of Temption watches and has a two available on eBay now. The far rarer of the two is a Temption Cherubin-R White Watch with beautiful blue hands and accents. A watch that retails new for over $6,000. It is available on eBay new for almost half of that.The Temption Cherubin-R is a gorgeous watch. Plump hands on a well designed face make for remarkable legibility and function. Temption makes it a point that each specific watch has a slightly different color with matched cabochons (decorative elements usually gems, placed inside of a crown) in the crown and pushers, so you are getting a truly unique watch for your investment. As such, there are models with black faces, or with white faces and white accents,
