The Titanic-DNA collection is inspired by the story of the legendary passenger liner that sank in the waters of the North Atlantic in 1912. Romain Jerome breathes an element of the history into its designer creations with innovative materials and thus gives them a powerful emotive quality. The number of Titanic-DNA watches produced is limited to 2,012 variations to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the Titanic, which took place in 2012.

The present example with black PVD, stabilized Titanic rusted steel case with BNC designed tourbillon movement was made in a special limited edition of only nine examples that contain authentic parts from the Titanic.
