The "Titanic-DNA" - a high-end watch integrating real steel from the Titanic
The "Titanic-DNA" watch contains authentic parts of the Titanic ocean liner drawn from the ocean floor. It brings together material and spirit. Or perhaps one should say soul.
The watch's exclusivity is to be found in the direct relationship between a truly unique timepiece and one of the most extraordinary achievements created by man .... the legendary Titanic ocean liner that disappeared in 1912. This new concept goes far beyond the creation of a great luxury watch with a prestigious movement and noble materials; it is breathing a soul into the object.
The rusted steel is created by an extraordinary fusion which brings together the authentic steel of the shipwreck and that of the memorial project in 2012. This is how the DNA is captured; a myth is reborn.
The hands are inspired by the anchor of the Titanic and turn on a dial of deep black; a colour obtained from the coal collected in the legendary shipwreck. The small second hand at 9 o'clock recalls the meters of ther ship's steam engines. Each version contains a Lajoux Perrot movement and is limited to 2012 pieces; a number referring to the celebration of the 100th aniversary of the Titanic.
"The Titanic, a masterpiece of its time. The "Titanic-DNA", a masterpiece of our time."
