Following up the success of their exclusive Titanic-DNA watches, Swiss luxury watchmaker Romain Jerome has introduced an extremely fine series of writing instruments whose design is inspired by numerous elements from the ill-fated RMS Titanic.
Presented in a variety of materials, including palladium, brass, PVD, stainless steel or gold, each Romain Jerome Titanic-DNA shows off a charming array of elements that are taken from the constructive features of ships, including rivets, a propeller, and a wheelhouse steering gear, which operates a propeller that draws ink into the pen nib; this latter feature is visible through a sapphire glass porthole. The barrel of each Romain Jerome Titanic-DNA writing object is adorned with a ring of oxidized steel, which is a fusion between actual material from the sunken vessel, and steel obtained from the Harland & Wolff shipyards, where the RMS Titanic was built.
These rare works of art are made by Jean-Pierre and Benjamin Lepine, in collaboration with Romain-Jerome CEO Yvan Arpa. Each variation will be limited to a series of just 88 pieces.
