Titanic-DNA Tourbillon Steampunk A la Grande

Tweet

Featuring an oxidized steel bezel made from the wreck of the Titanic along with a stunning watch face that deserves all the attention, the new Tourbillon Steampunk A la Grande is a special brewing of technology and raw power. Designed by Romain Jerome– a Swiss ultra-lux Titanic watch creator, the exquisite tourbillon features a bezel studded with 80 hand-applied rivets and four bolts that resemble watertight hatches.

But the vintage charm of this timepiece are certainly the hours and minutes hands inspired by the Titanic’s anchor and those 80 hand-applied rivets, reminiscent of the hull and boiler room of the famous ocean liner. Sculpted in titanium or stainless steel and running on an exclusive self-winding Concepto RJ2 tourbillon caliber movement, it goes on a rubber or hornback crocodile strap fitted with a folding clasp.

It’s water resistant to 50m and only limited to a 9 pieces. That’s nothing short of cool, eh?
