‘It was called the ship of dreams and it was; it really was’- that is what the movie tells you. Now buy the watch that pretty much fits the same tag. There is something special about those ‘Greek tragedies’ that sells them like hot cakes. They are always popular and the basic simple formula remains the same and a proper version of it will always fill up the houses. I suppose there is some charm in that tragic end that allows people to connect to it. Call it hopeless romanticism or anything else that you wish to, but at the end of the day it sells. Now people are cashing in further on it with watches from the wreckage of the now legendary ‘Titanic’.
There was an earlier version of these famous watches that were sold for $300,000. Now the latest watches that are made from the steel and the coal of this ‘immortal tragedy’, go at around a price of $500,000. It is no surprise that people actually buy them with the entire aura built around the ship and how a beautiful love story has been intricately woven in to the legacy of the ship by an expert movie-maker. The watches cannot be worn as they would decompose on contact with air. So they basically are just memorabilia made from a tragic incident.
You also have the Titanic-DNA watches which you can wear and they pay homage to the planet’s oceans. You also have a cool watch that tells you day and night and pretty much nothing else. The collection is pretty interesting indeed. A watch that you cannot wear, another one that shows only day and night but not time and finally one that shows time and you can wear! If you want them, maybe they are best served as a bunch. It is very interesting to see how the watch goes for $500,000 even till today. This probably is the height of recycling. A lot of that credit has to go to James Cameroon! So here is a look back at that!
