Although the concept seems interesting, there's something about this that smacks of poor taste to me. Maybe it's the fact that 1,500 people died and now they're making watches for rich people out of what is essentially a mass grave.
Steel and coal from the Titanic have been transformed into a new line of luxury wristwatches that claim to capture the essence of the legendary oceanliner which sank in 1912.
"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."
I've got your story right here. These things are for insensitive elitist materialists with more money than either brains or emotion. Over a thousand people died and now you can brag to all your filthy-rich friends at the country club you spent $173,000 on a watch made from the wreck?
Some story.
