What exactly is this statement offering? Are they saying that the watch if forged from a combination od materials found from both the original titanic site and the new Titanic II being built?
Not casting any doubts on the validity of the statement, but here are a few points worth mentioning.
I live and work in and around Belfast. The shipyard these days is a poor remnant of what it used to be and I am not sure they would be bothered with 'fusing together' old and new material form the Titanic. Its just not worth their while.
Secondly, does anyone have an idea of what the price would be. I would assume that original metal from the titanic would be like gold dust, and rather hard to authenticate its originality.
Lastly, having worked around this area for years, the number of things I have seen that are 'from' the Titanic, inspired by, replicated of, reaching out to and in memory of is just crazy.
Saying all of that I think it is an outstanding piece of design. Just some of its inspiration and heritage I wonder about.
There's my 2c for a Sunday morning. Damn the kids for being up early!
