One thing you’ll find on every designer is an interesting watch. This is the one accessory that designers will drop a boat load on to have bragging rights of the coolest watch. I think these watches by Romain Jerome have to top the scales as the most extravagant. There are not many products out there that can charge more money than a lot of cars and have no guarantee or even be able to touch it.
The metal oxidized ring on the watch (reminiscent of many Michigan vehicles) is actual metal from the Titanic. Some of the watches have been coated with a substance to preserve the look but one of the models stays true to its material and must be kept in a glass jar filled with argon gas to keep from the continual attack of oxidation. Why make it a watch that you can’t wear? Why not just make it clock for a shelf?
Anyway there is also a version that doesn’t even tell time, only if it is day or night. Do you really need something to tell you that? Exessive design at its best but they do look sweet.
There will be 2012 watches made in honor of the Titanic which will be available in 2012. The 100 year anniversary of the 1912 disaster.
Thanks for the link Garrett!
