A pocket watch belonged to the last victim of the Titanic Thomas Mullin has been put up for sale.
The watch comes with a certificate of authenticity. It has a white face but has lost both its hands and is damaged beyond repair.
From an investment point of view its value is sure to rocket in 2012, which marks the 100th anniversary of the Titanic‘s sinking.
A crew badge belonging to Mr Mullin was sold at auction for £28,000 nearly four years ago.
For the third consecutive year, following on from Meg Ryan, Kiefer Sutherland, Kim Basinger and Gary Sinise, the Baume & Mercier image is to be represented by a pair of Hollywood luminaries: Teri Hatcher and Ashton Kutcher.
Teri Hatcher and Ashton Kutcher join the A-list of celebrities who have been contributing alongside Baume & Mercier over the past three years to supporting various worthy humanitarian causes.
The new campaign of Baume & Mercier luxury watches will serve to support the fight against cancer, the promotion of child education, as well as helping underprivileged women.
The choice of celebrities made by the brand to support the new campaign includes personalities that have something in common with the watchmaking house; authentic public figures displaying true human qualities who are both easily approachable and close to people.
Kim Basinger and Gary Sinise amply displayed the prerequisites of generosity and spontaneity for this charity campaign in the recent past and Teri Hatcher and Ashton Kutcher will take it forward in 2008.
