		<link>http://www.jzandf.com/blog/blog/post/100th-anniversary-of-the-titanic-a-horological-tribute-to-a-great-legend</link> 
		<description><![CDATA[While numerous cities solemnly commemorated this important day, and the film industry re-introduced the 1997 blockbuster (now in 3D), a boutique Swiss high-end watch brand Romain Jerome paid tribute to this history-shaking event in its own way - by creating an highly exclusive line called the "Titanic DNA".

The original concept was introduced in 2005, but the best models were introduced just one year ago.

Issued in a limited edition of 2012 pieces (2012 being the year of the 100th anniversary of the Titanic) for the standard time only model,  500 pieces for the automatic chronograph, and 500 for the solid all 18K rose gold model, the signature feature of these timepieces is an oxidised bezel made of an extraordinary amalgamation of original steel from the hull of the Titanic along with modern shipbuilding steel plate from the Harland &amp;Wolff shipyards where the most luxurious ocean liner was builtalmost a century ago.]]></description>
