• The Concept: RJ-Romain Jerome partnered with legendary French workshop Jean-Pierre Lépine to manufacture these writing instruments.

• The Material: The rusted steel ring around the center contains certified authentic metal from the Titanic hull, blended with steel from the Harland & Wolff shipyards where she was built.

• The Design: The shape mimics a steamship's engine room telegraph, and the red and cream colors evoke the Titanic's massive smokestacks.

• The Limited Run: Creating only 88 pieces ensured absolute rarity, making it a highly targeted trophy for high-end pen and maritime history collectors.

The concept of the Titanic-DNA was created by former CEO Yvon Arpa, combining the aesthetics of 19th-century steam power, "steampunk" design, and maritime history. The brand purposefully left the steel unpolished and raw to retain the ship's authentic rusted appearance. The watches famously do not feature Roman numerals, but rather rely on anchor-shaped hands and railroad-style elements to further the maritime theme.

Romain Jerome timepieces are considered niche, high-end collector's items.
