marinamm20 Posted April 23, 2010 Report Share Posted April 23, 2010 i just saw a articel on gizmodo on some watches made by Romain Jerome called DNA collection. what i found was 3 different DNA colletions. Iceland vulcanon DNA watch with dial made of vulcanic ash from the eruption. Vulcanic DNA Moon Dust DNA watch made of moonrock dust on dial, case from apollo spacecraft and strap from spacesuite. Moon dust DNA Titanic DNA watch made of metals they could salvages from Titanic (wonder how he got it?)and black dial painted with coal from titanic. Titanic DNA vendor Romain Jerome cool - but i guess with a pretty high pricetag Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxman Posted April 23, 2010 Report Share Posted April 23, 2010 The RJ pieces are very cool Indeed. Although there are a lot of people who think the Titanic DNA watches are In bad taste. They feel that because It was such a tragedy and that so many had perished that It Is sacrilegious to make such a watch. I really dont know how I feel about that piece. Mike (ps) Bring money Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vafarmer70 Posted April 23, 2010 Report Share Posted April 23, 2010 RJ has a really nice Titanic one. They have changed the dial on it now though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike (ps) Bring money I know what you mean there, I think the Titanic ones are a bit ghoulish in terms of the origin of the materials, and I think the proceeds from those funds should go to the families of those who were lost. The moon DNA, however, I think is pretty cool The Volcanic DNA I would like, if the dial didn't have the lava painted on. It's a bit like the painted PAM dials available... As an artist, I can appreciate the work which has gone into them, but as a consumer, it's not something I'd want to wear on my wrist...

FxrAndy Posted April 23, 2010 Report Share Posted April 23, 2010 I like the idea of the moondust one just not the style, and i agree the titanic is in bad taste Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member X Posted April 23, 2010 Report Share Posted April 23, 2010 I know someone who's got one of the Titanic ones. I've never been sure of the taste issues either! Moondust one is pretty cool though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lhooq Posted April 24, 2010 Report Share Posted April 24, 2010 Not really my cup of tea, but I would like to suggest they add OJ DNA and Clinton DNA watches to their collection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
