| The collections are Titanic DNA, Moon DNA and Eyjafjallajokull DNA. The Titanic DNA watch is the melting pot of coal, steel and rust from the most romanticized ship wreck. The century old rust blends with flaw less steel of today: The coal dust salvaged from a depth of 3840 meters under the sea is applied on the dial giving it the tone of coal. The entire dial is inspired by the images of the vessel ill fated to sink in its maiden voyage.
