New Titanic-DNA Watch by Romain Jerome

The watchmaker Romain Jerome continues his famous archaeological tour with the release of a new model Titanic-DNA Chrono Tourbillon. The novelty is presented in three versions: steel watch, red and black. Each version of the limited edition watch is released of 9 instances.

The case is traditionally made in the form the Titanic’s porthole. The rant of the watch is as usual made from the hull of the famous transatlantic liner, raised from the bottom, as well as from steel of Harland & Wolff shipyard, from which the Titanic was built. Traces of stabilized rust are attached to the watch a particular historical spirit.

As the name suggests the model has a tourbillion and chronograph. Tourbillion is on the skeletonized dial at the 6 o’clock position. Chronometric counters, like a pair of eyes, hung in the provisions of "10 and 2 o'clock." Chronograph is controlled with two buttons on the right side of the case.

The Titanic-DNA watch line has created on the principle of “there is no really unnecessary things; just in the world there are people who do not appreciate them." This expression belongs to mathematics Ivan Arpa, who decided to make a watch out of the Titanic hull, which sank in 1912. The acquisition took place before the protection of the Titanic’s remains by an international organization, so from the bottom was raised only three pounds of steel. However, the new Titanic-DNA watches continue to go out today due to the "dilution" of the original steel with "native blood" - a metal yard Harland & Wolff, which built the Titanic. But the coal boiler of the famous liner, by which the dial of Titanic-DNA was covered before seems to have ended. The skeletonized dial of the new Chrono Tourbillon is made of pure steel.
