Tiffany & Co. Acquires Historic Titanic Pocket Watch for $1.97 Million
Tiffany & Co. has set a new record with the acquisition of a rare 18k gold pocket watch for $1.97 million. The timepiece, once owned by Captain Arthur H. Rostron of the RMS Carpathia, was a gift from three Titanic survivors—Mrs. John B. Thayer, Mrs. John Jacob Astor, and Mrs. George D. Widener—who expressed their gratitude for his heroic efforts in rescuing passengers after the Titanic sank.
The pocket watch, purchased from Henry Aldridge and Son Ltd., is engraved with a heartfelt message from the survivors and features the monogram “AHR” on its caseback. This historic artifact honors Captain Rostron’s courage and pivotal role in saving hundreds of lives. Christopher Young, Vice President of Creative Visual Merchandising at Tiffany & Co., emphasized the significance of the acquisition, stating that it highlights the brand’s long-standing connection to history and its role in the luxury world.

Kalyan Jewellers Celebrates ‘Bangaliana’ with Soulful Poila Boishakh Campaign
Celebrating Bengal’s Heritage, The Campaign Blends Nostalgia, Tradition, and Craftsmanship Through Storytelling and Timeless Jewellery
Kalyan Jewellers, one of India’s most trusted jewellery brands, has unveiled a new digital campaign to mark Poila Boishakh, the Bengali New Year. Featuring actress Ritabhari Chakraborty, the film is a heartfelt ode to Bengal’s cultural identity, bringing together nostalgia, craftsmanship and the enduring legacy of traditions passed down through generations.
At the heart of the film is a tender interaction between Ritabhari and a young boy, centred around the iconic ‘Talpatar Sepai,’ a traditional palm-leaf toy that reflects Bengal’s artistic roots. As the moment unfolds, the toy becomes a subtle symbol of the region’s craftsmanship and cultural memory, drawing a connection between childhood nostalgia and the finesse of handcrafted gold jewellery. The narrative then moves to a poignant moment where an elder presents a gold necklace, capturing the emotional value of jewellery in Bengali households, where each piece is not just worn, but cherished as a symbol of love, tradition and continuity. It reflects how jewellery often carries personal histories, passed down through generations as an enduring link between the past and the present.
Built around the theme “Oitijhyer Choway Notuner Boron” (welcoming the new with a touch of tradition), the campaign reinforces Kalyan Jewellers’ positioning at the intersection of cultural legacy and contemporary relevance. The brand also showcases a curated range of traditional designs inspired by Bengal’s intricate craftsmanship and grand aesthetic sensibilities.
Reinforcing its commitment to trust and transparency, Kalyan Jewellers continues to offer its signature 4-Level Assurance Certificate, ensuring purity certification, lifetime maintenance, transparent product details, and secure buy-back policies. This initiative provides customers with complete confidence during the auspicious gold-buying season.
With this campaign, Kalyan Jewellers invites consumers to celebrate the spirit of Poila Boishakh by embracing jewellery not just as adornment, but as a living expression of heritage and storytelling.
