Romain Jerome - Titanic DNA Reportage

http://www.victorinoxblog.com/

La montre Romain Jérôme Titanic-DNA -- première pièce d'une collection qui se veut « DNA of Famous Legends » (ADN des grandes légendes) -- entend créer un lien entre notre époque et le « Titanic », paquebot qui a coulé dans l'Atlantique nord en 1912.

Argument de la marque : associer une montre de luxe, équipée d'un mouvement haut de gamme (Lajoux Perret, avec petite seconde à 9 h), à des matériaux récupérés sur l'épave du « Titanic ».
La lunette en acier oxydée est un alliage qui fusionne l'acier du futur « Titanic II » (dont le lancement est prévu pour 2012, à Belfast, sur le chantier qui avait donné le jour au premier « Titanic ») et quelques parcelles de l'acier remonté de 3 840 m de fond.
Le cadran lui-même associe des particules du charbon recueilli sur l'épave à une laque noire. Les aiguilles sont inspirée de l'ancre du « Titanic ».
Le boîtier modulaire permet d'associer ces matériaux « DNA » à un boîtier en platine ou en or rose, avec des éléments en titane, en céramique et en matériaux composites (tirage limité à 2012 exemplaires, clin d'œil au lancement du futur « Titanic II »).
Le fond de cette montre a été gravé par Kees Engelbarts et il est personnalisable.

@larserikgill this is not correct. Moon dust were delivered to scientists all over the world. In the 90s the NASA produced tons of moon dust for their own research. Its possible the extern research labs sold some dust after their work with it.

If its Titanic steel or not, who cares? Steel have no feelings.

Its better to remind the tragical day 1912 with an awesome timepiece then with the Lovestory from Rose and Jack....

Unethical and tasteless on every level.

Besides, I would much rather a nice watch made of titanium thats strong and light on my wrist.

There is nothing good about the steel used to make these watches.

c'est scandaleux d utiliser une tombe pour fabriquer une montre ces d'une HONTE

OMG titanic is already breaking apart and now they're taking it apart even more! HOW DISGRACEFUL

[mariussicone]

@laserikgill

he had gotten the steel on the 1991 expedition, which in that time many people were robbing artifacts from the wreckage, he had only taken 3 kg of steel from the hull of the stern part which thousands of pieces of the hull are scattered on the sea bed. he didn't cut pieces out of the hull if that's what your thinking

[dimputhegreat]

its despicable but its all in the game mr.

for example in ancient indian mythology of mahabharatha "the game of dice" dice were made from bones of dead brothers and sisters of shakuni "maternal uncle of kauravas.who ruled modern day afghanistan.

[dimputhegreat]

he's making millions out of junk,he's clever.actually the remains of titanic is brought with help of scuba divers and that materials is put inside this watch.for that reason its selling in 100000 $ or more.

& titanic victims RIP.

I dont think you are going to get steel from Titanic without buying this bloody watch. And the price was NOT low either! And how the fuck did Romain Jerome got prmission to get the material at the first palce. They also make watches out of "moon dust" but the only moon dust here on earth is the dust from the Apollo-program. And sampels from the Apollo-program is illegal to ovn.
