From the same company that brought us a men’s watch made out of salvaged steel from the Titanic and another with real live moon dust comes perhaps the most timely horological release ever. The Eyjafjallajokull-DNA from Romain Jerome is a luxury timepiece that features actual ash and rock from that unpronounceable Icelandic troublemaker. Do we really need a men’s watch celebrating 10 days of disrupted ai***re, missed connections and botched travel plans? Clearly we do not, but you know what? We have to give it up to Romain Jerome for *** something so unique in such a short period of time. Has the ash even cooled yet? 98 Uniqueness Like the other Romain Jerome watches in the DNA collection, the Eyjafjallajokull is designed for the wearer who is looking for a wrist-bound conversation starter. We can all but guarantee this is the only timepiece on the planet to be made of Icelandic volcano ash. The dial is crafted to look like a molten volcano about to erupt, and Romain Jerome has done a tremendous job with that. The manufacturer claims this will be a unique piece, meaning there will be one in the world. Essentially, this watch was created to generate buzz around the brand, and at that it has certainly succeeded. The conception, a celebration of a natural occurrence that brought the airline industry and tourism in general to its knees, is as obscure as it comes in the world of watches. There is nothing like the Romain Jerome Eyjafjallajokull-DNA anywhere else in the world. Unless, of course, you count Romain Jerome Dark Side Of The Moon watch, in which case there are many watches like it, just using different dust. Read more 27 Durability Like all Romaine Jerome watches, the Eyjafjallajokull-DNA will benefit from world-class construction and a high-grade Swiss-made movement. However, what works for Romain Jerome in terms of hype works against it when it comes to longevity. Sure, this watch is funny and kitschy now, worthy of a blog post or two, but in 10 years who is even going to remember this third-rate natural disaster occurred? No one was injured, no buildings destroyed -- all it did was disrupt a few flights, forcing people to simply extend their vacations. It doesn’t sound too bad to us, really. The Romain Jerome Eyjafjallajokull-DNA is a collectible now and a novelty act in the future.

Watch maker Corum is to celebrate the 50th anniversary of one of its most popular collections, the Admiral's Cup, with a series of new models.One of the timepieces to be revealed within this celebratory range is the Corum Admiral's Cup Chronograph 44 Centro Mono-pusher, Watch Luxus has reported.A mono-pusher chronograph is one of the main features with this new watch, which offers fans of timepieces the chance to witness a device not commonly seen with sport wristwatches, instead going for a twin-pusher chronograph complication.However, by applying this to the new model, Corum is able to illustrate a classical appearance to its timepiece, in line to watches more commonly seen around the time when the Admiral's Cup collection first hit the market.Other features about the Chronograph 44 Centro Mono-pusher are that it has a grand-sized case, measuring in at 44 millimetres, a water resistance up to 100 metres and a stylish black vulcanised rubber strap.Corum is in the course of celebrating its 55-year birthday as a whole too, which it aims to celebrate by re-issuing some of its biggest selling timepieces, Watch Luxus has also recently reported.
