Romain Jerome has some cheek. They’ve released some renderings of a line of watches, called TITANIC-DNA, that are actually made from pieces of the Titanic. Here’s the rub: you can’t wear them. If they’re exposed to air they’ll begin to rust and fall apart. The only way to own one is to keep it in an argon-filled cylinder. No pricing and there’s no definitive proof they’ll ever make this thing, but as we know: the rich are insane and will buy anything. Look for more Basel 2008 coverage coming as soon as I sift through all the info I have.
