Pokémon fans, get ready! Romain Jerome has just unveiled its one-off Pokémon Tourbillon Watches. The price for the pop-cultural wrist wear is $258,000.

The Swiss watchmaker crafted two separate limited edition Pokémon Watch designs, with one featuring Pikachu and the other boasting a variety of Pokémon creatures.

This unique complication is the first example of Romain Jerome’s new Generational Icons line. Mixing avant-garde styling with a millennial cultural favorite, the timepiece is sure to garner plenty of attention.

The watch boasts an all-black 48mm case and hands, and is paired perfectly with a black alligator strap with blue and yellow accent stitching. Double sapphire crystals and water resistance to 164 feet round out the watch.

Complete with a Romain Jerome caliber RJ400-TS, 27 jewels, 28,800 vph, and a 60 hours worth of power reserve, this watch is far from kitschy. It’s a complex timepiece worthy of admiration.
