Titanically Expensive: Titanic-DNA Watch

A Swiss jeweler is offering watches, which have been made from the hull of the doomed Titanic. The metal has been mixed with contemporary shipbuilding steel to make the casing of the timepieces. The black dials have been made by mixing the recovered coal burned in the Titanic’s furnaces with ceramics. The watches dubbed Titanic-DNA will be made in a limited run of 2,012 as a reference to the 100th anniversary of the disaster in five years time. The Titanic watches range in price, from about $8,000US to over $150,000US, depending on the material used, such as steel, silver or gold with diamonds.
