I was in a watch store that sold them and I listened to a salesman telling a nice older couple how the Titanic watch would increase in value faster than the moon watch because there is more "Moon" than "Titanic". I nearly choked.

 It's morbid and simply a way for a nothing company to get publicity.

Titanic Watch...



Titanic Tourbillon...



To be fair Rob, this watch needs to be seen underwater to be fully appreciated...:lol

They also make a Double Tourbillon that doesn't tell the time....It is called the Day Night Tourbillon and my understanding is that one of the Tourbillons moves in the day time and one moves at night. You never really know the time only whether it's day or night....I have a window that can do the same thing.

All in all it's totally fitting, an expensive watch that doesn't tell time made out of an expensive ship that couldn't float.



 

Cheers

 I find it no more offensive than some egotistical director/producer who makes a fiction movie about that disaster for his own wealth and recognition.  Ive seen many items made from materials of a disaster.   Ive even seen knives made from the steel of the twin towers.  I think if the company donates some of the proceeds to a charity benefiting the familys of those lost during the disaster its actually a very nice way to commemorate the event and cast a light on an otherwise very dark and depressing matter.

 yes, they have 3 watches, one is Moon dust DNA, one is Titanic DNA, and one is the Lava DNA. The moon dust DNA has inside some real moon dust, and also the Lava DNA has also some of the lava ash inside. The titanic is already presented. this is the reason they are so expensive.
