Romain Jerome Titanic-DNA Tourbillon Rust

This Titanic-DNA collection was inspired and created in tribute to the Titanic, the majestic seafaring icon which in its era was a technological masterpiece and the epitome of power and elegance.

The 'DNA' of the Titanic is captured in very special ways. The Tourbillon has hands which are inspired by Titanic's anchor, while its 46mm diameter case is made from titanium and steel.

Nevertheless, it is the deep black colour of the dial as well as a unique rusted bezel were made using coal and steel actually recovered from the Titanic itself. This reflects an extraordinary fusion which brings together the authentic material of the Titanic shipwreck, which was resting on the ocean floor at Harland & Wolf shipyards where the ocean liner was built almost a century ago.

The timepiece also enclose a BNB 1000 RJ Tourbillon movement and is available strapped with either rubber or crocodile hornback skin. While the Titanic-DNA collection is a limited edition to 2012 pieces - 2012 being the 100th anniversary of the Titanic, this Tourbillon is exclusively limited to a run just nine.

Franck Muller Conquistador Tourbillon Grand Prix

Following the success of the Conquistador Singapore Grand Prix 2009 Racing Chronograph, the Franck Muller manufacture has extended this collection with the Conquistador Tourbillon Grand Prix.

The timepiece is an extremely powerful combination of technology and advanced mastery that encompasses the brilliance of the tourbillon and is the epitome of fine watch making. The collection carries the signature Franck Muller Cintr'ee Curvex case in a much bigger size and perpetuates a brand new rugged design perfected with new ground - breaking materials combination. As with Formula 1 cars, the body of the bold timepiece is fortified with a combination of different materials such as rose-gold, titanium and ergal.

Ergal, commonly used in Formula 1 and the aerospace industry, is an ultralight and highly robust high-tech alloy that is highly resistant to corrosion and abrasion that strenghtens the brand's mechanical prowess.

Perfected to every single detail, the movement's parts are fully decorated, hand-polished, circular grained, rhodium-plated and sealed with the Cotes de Geneve motif. All these add to the mastery and personalisation of each tourbillon.
