LIMITED AND NUMBERED EDITION OF 125 PIECES

Autumn 1886

In New York all eyes are turned towards Liberty Island.

The President of the United States, along with hundreds of handpicked guests as well as several thousand spectators, have all gathered for the inauguration of a work such as the world has never yet seen.

Signed by the French artist Bartholdi, this monument bears a name that is destined to become a legend:

Liberty Enlightening the World.

A gift from France to celebrate the centenary of the Declaration of Independence of the United States, the exceptionally sized work of art was to become a symbol of human rights.

For millions of immigrants over several decades, this victorious figure towering over the bay of

New York would be the first image of their American dream and the embodiment of all their hopes.

It has asserted itself, across time and oceans, as the ambassadress of all those who proclaim their attachment to independence and to that most precious of all values:

LIBERTY

THE STATUE OF LIBERTY

Or Liberty Enlightening the World, in French La Liberté éclairant le monde was designed by French sculptor Frédéric Bartholdi and dedicated on October 28, 1886.

The statue represents Libertas, the Roman goddess of freedom bearing a torch and a tabula ansata upon which is inscribed the date of the American Declaration of Independence, July 4, 1776, and was given to the United States by the French people, as a symbol of freedom and democracy.

On the occasion of the 125th anniversary of the Statue of Liberty, RJ-Romain Jerome is unveiling the fruit of an unprecedented collaborative endeavour with The Statue of Liberty-Ellis Island Foundation and Gold Leaf Corporation.

This encounter has resulted in a new RJ-Romain Jerome timepiece merging the brand DNA with that of Miss Liberty, thereby giving shape to a new symbolic legend:
