Romain Jerome is a Geneva-based watch making house, mostly known for its Titanic-DNA collection. According to Yvan Arpa, CEO of the three-year-old company, the target group for Romain Jerome watches is both collectors and luxury goods buyers."So many rich people buy incredibly complicated watches without understanding how they work, because they want a story to tell," he said. "To them we offer a story." The wrecksite of the Titanic, discovered in 1985, is considered an international maritime memorial and is placed under special protection. But some relic hunters managed to take pieces from the wreckage during early diving expeditions. Romain Jerome makes its watches using a 1.5 kg piece of the hull bought from an unidentified seller who found it in 1991. The lacquer paint, applied to black dial faces of the gold, platinum and steel watches, is another element used from the Titanic. The company will make 2,012 watches to commemorate the 100 year anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic in 1912.There is no need to pay thousands of dollars for a Romain Jerome Titanic-DNA timepiece. Though our Romain Jerome replica watches are not made of steel from the Titanic, they have the same provocative design and cost a lot less.
