Hmm I can't even wear this watch?

T-oxy Concept
Between the forbidden and the ephemeral
The T-oxy Concept represents both the culmination of a preposterous idea and the most extreme form of a particularly sophisticated concept. This exceptional timepiece is a completely rusted high-watchmaking timepiece designed using non-stabilised rusted steel from the Titanic.

One can argue many points here...

I would take a look at it from the standpoint of the Purists, well why not, that is where we are discussing this. The marketing is brilliant, if in fact the sales numbers are to be believed and all these watches are actually made, work, and then willing b...
