I personally feel that is is wrong to disturb such wrecks like the Titanic and feel that is disrespectful to rise artefacts to the surface. Having a beautiful crafted watch like the one below holds a morbid past. What are your thoughts?
To mark the centenary of the Titanic, Romain Jerome pays tribute to the legendary & tragic giant of the sea - Titanic - which also inspired the first collection of Titanic DNA, by creating two special limited editions: 100th Anniversary Auto Steampunk and Steampunk Chrono 100th Anniversary.
Housed in a 50mm diameter case and featuring massive raw finishes, these two models of the Steampunk Titanic DNA collection embody the sovereign of the ship.
They display an oxidised steel bezel which is then stabilized, resulting from the merger of the material of the legendary wreck lying 3,840 metres deep, with that provided by Harland & Wolff shipyards where the Titanic was built.
For this anniversary edition, the propellers, appearing on the dial of Steampunk at 6 o'clock recall the blades of the ship.
A single medallion, commemorating the launch date of this legendary titan of the seas, adorns the case of these timepieces limited to 100 pieces each.
