Romain Jerome's new watch collection the Titanic DNA, made from steel of the ship.Creepy,or part of history?

Part of the history of the modern world in your wrist or just taking advantage of peoples tragedy?

Just when you think the Human Race couldnt go any lower, and then you hear about this!

The human race has literally 'sunken' to a new low. The Titantic sinking was a real tragedy, and with the Titanic going beneath the waves, so has our respect for the loss of life.

I wonder if a single cent of the expensive watches - $7,000 U.S maybe - will be donated to the Titantic memorial or to any fund that improves safety and rescue for modern day shipping tragedies?.

What will we do next? Dig up war graves and get the bullets out of dead soldiers and use them to make pins and sell them at $7,000 each just so the owner can feel themselves closer to tragedy?

I cant understand why anybody would buy Romain Jerome's watches.

How Watch Making Has Changed

Before wristwatches became ubiquitous in our society, pocket watches were the standard for personal timekeeping. The first pocket watch is thought to have been made in Germany towards the end of the fifteenth century. Bearing a close resemblance to the traditional clock, early pocket watches operated in very much the same manner as their clock cousins.

A deviation from traditional clock designs, pocket watches used the combination of a mainspring, hairspring and a balance wheel. This is in contrast to traditional clock designs that used a swinging pendulum and counter weights.

Like today’s wristwatches, pocket watches consist of two main components, the inner works and a metal case. Many different metals were used for early pocket watchcases including gold and silver. The case was usually of a two piece clamshell design. The cases of early watches were impervious to dirt and moisture, which meant the watches, needed a good bit regular cleaning. As time went on, other less expensive metals were used for case works including mild steel and pot metal.

The inner works of the early pocket watch contained a number of gears and wheels held in place between two metal plates. The lower plate or pillar plate rests next to the dial while the upper plate might have come in two pieces though the best made watches utilized a single piece upper plate. The plates were precisely drilled and bored to hold the other components in the proper place.

To prevent wear of the moving parts, hard gemstones were used with the moving pegs or axles. There were four wheels in the works known as the barrel wheel, the first wheel, the second wheel and the third wheel. The barrel wheel is used as the attachment for the mainspring.

The motion is transmitted by the uncoiling of the spring and is regulated by the escapement that is kept moving by the combined action of the mainspring and the hairspring providing an oscillating movement. The wheel that has sixty gear teeth around the circumference engages the escapement wheel and transmits motion to the minute hand. It also meshes into the pinion of the center wheel that transmits motion to the hour hand.

Movement is controlled by a lever that is connected to the hairspring. By moving the lever to the left or the right, the tension of the hairspring is increased or reduced.

The plates of the works were made from plate stock of steel or brass and would go through a series of machining operations that would include being placed on a pantograph machine which would exactly copy dimensions from a master part to the part being machined. After machining, the plates would be polished using several types of abrasive materials like emery.

Gemstones like garnet, rubies, sapphires and diamond. Garnets would be cut with diamond points into tiny disks and would then be set in tiny plates of gold.

The intricate process of assembly the works required precisely made screws and other components that would often be plated or heat treated by hand. The small gears were stamped from brass using very precisely made dies and springs were formed from fine spring wire.

Dial faces were similarly stamped out of a base metal, enameled and the markings stenciled in place and the dial would be fired again. Once fully assembled, the finished watch was subjected to cold temperatures of around forty degrees Fahrenheit and then exposed to higher temperatures up to around one hundred degrees Fahrenheit. This process was undoubtedly used to test the watch in different temperature extremes to ensure consistent operation.

Like countless other consumer products, the way in which modern wrist watches are manufactured has undergone incredible changes since the Industrial Revolution that broke during the turn of twentieth century. This important period in world history ushered in entirely new ways to mass produce products for a growing world population. In every facet of manufacturing there were incredible technological advances that improved efficiencies and helped reduce production costs.

Most of us have heard about the way Henry Ford changed the way automobiles were built by developing the production line assembly method. Cars would constantly roll off the Ford assembly line, as workers would fit various parts to the chassis in a precise order and within a predetermined time.

What few of us think about are the other changes that made this type manufacturing operation possible. Critical to the success of the mass production line was the development of standardized parts, components that are nearly identical to each other.

Prior to the development of mass production assembly lines, most mechanical assemblies, including watches were built from components that were made individually most often by different producers. This meant that very often, parts from one machine be it a car, locomotive or sewing machine, could be not be used on another machine.

As other watch producers adopted the practice of parts standardization and integrated quality control, the reliability of wrist watches was greatly increased. The use of standardized components meant that those parts that subject to wear did so in more consistent and predictable way, requiring far less maintenance and repair than those timepieces assembled as one of kind items.

Leather Watch Straps Appeal to the Masses

Leather has always had its own place in the fashion industry and the watch is no different. A matter of fact, a leather watchstrap, or band is often worn to all kinds of events and occasions. There are many watch manufacturers that now create beautiful and luxury watches with leather bands.

Today you can find such manufacturers as Lacoste, Black Dice, Triumph, Casio, Diesel, Rotary, Police, DKNY, Seksy, Fossil, Guess, Swatch, Timex, Sekonda, and Tonino Lamborghini all offering various watches with leather bands.

Leather watches are used by many manufacturers to add a unique look to the various styles and designs of the watches. The Tonino Lamborghini Speedster is one that with the leather strap provides the watch with a wonderful theme of elegance whereas if you look at the Soyuz Russian Tank II or the Soyuz SuperNova you will see a bit of a different look even if the strap is leather it does not provide an elegant look but a more sleek design. Then there is the Diesel Black Label men’s bangle watch with five movements that resembles a futuristic style.

Women can enjoy many different styles of watches with leather straps by leading designers such as the Lacoste White dial/tan leather strap, Seksy Ladies Seconda Watch, Guess MUSE, Diesel Ladies Purple Dial, Fossil Ladies Dress, Swatch Blofeld's Cat- You Only Live Twice, Rotary Ladies Classic Stainless Steel Wristwatch, DKNY Ladies Silver Faced Quartz Watch, Diesel Ladies Brown Leather Strap Watch, Swatch Elektra King- The World Is Not Enough, Michael Kors Ladies Chronograph Black Dial Black Strap Watch, and the Swatch Xenia Onatopp- Goldeneye.

Leather can add a bit of flair, elegance, styles, outdoorsy feel, or more according to the style and design of the manufacturer. Leather is similar to gold in that it will never go out of style.

For anyone that has allergy problems with metals, leather is often the choice for luxury and even elegant styled watches. Instead of worrying about allergies due to the silver or gold breaking out your wrist, you can now find a large variety of watches with leather bands that will still allow you to enjoy all the functions as well as the unique designs. If you desire a bit more style to your watch and have the desire to have stones on the watch, you can even find a few watches offering crystals with leather bands such as the Police Glamour Matrix gold, Swatch Steel+charm, and the Marc Ecko Better off Dead.

Why do I break out with a certain brand of stainless steel?

I own an invicta watch, I always breakout on my wrist with a nasty rash. I own a citizen watch that I have had for years and it has never had a reaction on my skin. Any thoughts why this happens?

Metal alloys are made with different compounds & some jewelry is coated with scratch-resistant chemicals. You're probably allergic to either something in the metal or a coating on the metal. Sell it on Ebay!
