ABOUT NINTENDO
For all Super Mario fans the long wait is finally over... RJ-Romain Jerome is now releasing the Super
Mario Bros. collection! In honor of the games 30th anniversary, RJ is adding the center piece to its
Generational Icons collection.
The worldwide pioneer in the creation of interactive entertainment, Nintendo Co., Ltd., of Kyoto, Japan,
manufactures and markets hardware and software for its Wii U and Wii home consoles, Nintendo 3DS
and Nintendo DS family of portable systems. Since 1983, when it launched the Nintendo Entertainment
System, Nintendo has sold more than 4.3 billion video games and more than 686 million hardware
units globally, including the current-generation Wii U, Wii, and Nintendo 3DS family of systems including
New Nintendo 3DS, New Nintendo 3DS XL, Nintendo 3DS, Nintendo 3DS XL, Nintendo 2DS, as
well as Nintendo DS, Nintendo DSi, Nintendo DSi XL, Game Boy, Game Boy Advance, Super NES,
Nintendo 64 and Nintendo GameCube systems. It has also created industry icons that have become
well-known, household names such as Mario, Donkey Kong, Metroid, Zelda and Pokmon. A
wholly owned subsidiary, Nintendo of Europe, based in Germany, was established in 1990 and serves
as headquarters for Nintendos operations in Europe.
The new collaboration between RJ-Romain Jerome and Nintendo is a tribute to this genre-defining video
game of the 8-bit era, the first of its kind. This collection, which allowed the Swiss Maison to express
its unlimited creativity by mixing traditional know-how with playfulness, is also a true expression of
avant-gardism watchmaking.
Lets start jumping!
In a 46mm case RJ has recreated the essence of the original Super Mario Bros. game from 1985. Nintendos
legendary character Mario is exceptionally dressed in his recognisable red shirt and blue overalls
with his famous jump and iconic mushroom. These most symbolic elements of the game are eye-catchingly
depicted on the dial and are all captured in the visual style that captivated a generation. The Super Mario
Bros. timepiece is limited to 85 pieces to echo 1985, the year the game launched.
As part of the Games collection the Super Mario Bros. timepiece is presented in the brands distinctive
Moon Invader case, now in titanium grade 5 with a black PVD-coating.
The lugs are fitted with safety screws and integrated ball-and-socket joints, in Teflon coating, for optimal
wrist adjustment. And on the integrated case back, the Super Mario Bros. medallion cohabits with the
grainy-textured stellar-patterned.

At the time, the video game was graphically advanced as it was difficult to obtain such a detailed representation
of the Super Mario Bros. character; and today it was equally challenging to reproduce the blurred effect
of the pixels.

In order to accentuate the pixelation with perfect geometrical forms, the dial was built on a complex three
layered plate with different finishes, either bead-blasted or drawn out for both the RJ monogram and the
ground setting, which offers an overall 3D effect.

Stemming from craftsmanship, each applique, representing the hero and the setting, was hand-painted
in cold enamel and then delicately set on the dial to add even more perspective to the ensemble.
