Romaine Jerome made a huge impact on the watch world when he introduced the Titanic DNA timepeices. Jerome purchased a peice of the hull that was retrieved from the doomed ship, 3840 meters beneath the crashing surface of the sea. Smelting this hull with steel from the Titanic's original shipyard, which is becoming a Titanic commemoration, he integrated the combination into the bezel, case band or dial material of his watches. The oxidized steel is clearly visible. It seems, Romaine Jerome believes that even the small piece of the Titanic's hull ,displayed on each watch, carries the weight of history. The watch is pricey, but no price can be placed on history. This line of watches truly has a past, present and future. Thursday, July 24, 2008
