Description

This collection was inspired and created in tribute to the Titanic, the majestic and splendid sea giant, technological masterpiece of an era when it was the epitome of power and elegance. For the rusted timepieces, the bezel reflects an extraordinary fusion which brings together the authentic steel of the Titanic shipwreck, which was resting on the ocean floor at a depth of 3840 meters, and that of the one from the shipyards Harland Wolff where the most luxurious ocean liner was built almost a century ago.This is how the DNA is captured; a myth is reborn. Other tributes to the sea giant, the hands of all the timepieces of the Titanic-DNA collection are inspired by the Titanics anchor. The small second counter at 9h and numerals on the dial remind of the Titanic steam counters. The deep black color of the dial is obtained with coal recovered from the Titanic.The Titanic-DNA collection is a limited edition to 2012 pieces (2012 being year of the 100th anniversary of the Titanic).
