The initials engraved on its case were simple. J.J.A. Three letters that once belonged to the richest man aboard the most famous shipwreck in history. That watch stopped ticking in the early hours of April fifteenth, nineteen twelve. Its owner had just placed his pregnant teenage bride into a lifeboat. He asked if he could join her. The answer was no.
