Volcanic Ash Watch
There are opportunities and there are opportunists. And none more ripe for the plucking than the recent molten eruption over in Iceland that caused all the traffic woes in Europe last week. If you're one of those unfortunates left stranded in a European city and have plenty of chump change, watchmaker Romain Jerome's Eyjafjallajökull-DNA timepiece (let's call it E-DNA for short) is a timely reminder of those six days when the planet exhaled.
This is as limited as they come. There's just one piece, and it's guaranteed to be a conversation starter since the fiery watch face is forged to look like something out of the magma-spitting crater of Mount Doom.
For a primeval touch of realism, the makers even hewed the rough fissured dial out of actual ash ejected by the whatchamacallit volcano. After all, volcanic ash are really bits of pulverized rock and glass. To quell doubters, there's a certificate of authenticity you can whip out confirming that the volcanic rock and ash do indeed come from the volcano. Just too bad this doesn't rumble ominously on the hour.
