RJ Debuts DC Villains Timepieces
Both of these watches are housed in 45mm titanium ARRAW cases and are limited to 100 pieces, and both feature elements inspired by the characters they represent.
“RJ started this exclusive collaboration four years ago, celebrating Batman 75th anniversary,” details Marco Tedeschi, the CEO of RJ, in an exclusive interview with Revolution.Watch. “The response for the limited-edition watches was remarkable and cemented the brand as the pre-eminent creator of unique watch collaborations and a true and reliable partner for DC Comics and Warner Bros. Entertainment.
The Joker
In the Joker timepiece, each dial is individually hand-painted, meaning no two Joker watches will have the exact same make-up. The watch dial itself is a stylistic interpretation of the Joker’s own face, with a finish that is airbrushed to evoke the make-up of the Gotham villain: two black eyes sit at the center of the dial which fades to white at the edges.
Two Face
Two Face was first Gotham City’s District Attorney, Harvey Dent, an ally of Batman. The sulfuric acid attack that disfigured Dent drove him insane and his face was split in two. Using this dichotomy as inspiration, the left-hand side of the watch is clean and structured, while on the right side, the three-layer skeleton movement is exposed to show the inner workings of the watch, as if the acid used on Dent had burnt away the outer casing and dial. The bezel is also split, as is the strap. The famous coin that Two Face uses to make life and death decisions can be seen on the left side of the dial.
