Pieces of Titanic transformed into luxury watches

Titanic watchA Geneva watchmaker has turned steel and coal from the ocean liner Titanic which sank in 1912 into wrist watches.

To make the watches, which were offered for sale for the first time in Basel for between $7,800 and $173,100, the Swiss company created an alloy using the slab from the Titanic with steel being used in a Harland and Wolff replica of the vessel.

The gold, platinum and steel time pieces have black dial faces made of lacquer paint that includes coal recovered from the debris field of the Titanic wrecksite, offered for sale by the U.S. company RMS Titanic Inc.

The company will make 2,012 watches to coincide with the centenary anniversary of the Titanic's sinking in 2012.
