Launched in 1955, this jet-powered hydroplane was a marvel of mid-century engineering, featuring a steel-framed and aluminium-bodied chassis designed by the Norris Brothers. Under the command of Donald Campbell CBE, K7 shattered seven world water speed records, pushing the boundary from 202 mph to over 276 mph. The metal within these cufflinks was recovered from the depths of Coniston Water in 2001, following the tragic final run of 1967. It carries with it the spirit of the unlimited era, the roar of the Metropolitan-Vickers Beryl engine, and the relentless pursuit of the impossible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"4\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"4\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eThe Founder’s Note\u003c\/b\u003e There is a profound, physical weight to history that cannot be replicated with modern alloys alone. When we set out to create the Donald Campbell Centenary collection, we knew the material had to be the protagonist. These cufflinks are cast in Birmingham’s historic Jewellery Quarter, where we have meticulously infused reclaimed aluminium from Bluebird K7 into hallmarked sterling silver. The result is a piece that feels substantial and purposeful against the cuff. Every pair passes through a rigorous tactile inspection to ensure the hand-polished finish meets our exacting standards, preserving the soul of the machine in a form that will last for generations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"5\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"5\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eKey Features\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"6\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"6,0,0\"\u003eLimited Edition: One of only 100 pairs ever produced to mark the Donald Campbell Centenary.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"6,1,0\"\u003eAuthentic Provenance: Contains genuine reclaimed aluminium from the Bluebird K7 hydroplane.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"6,2,0\"\u003eBritish Craftsmanship: Designed using advanced CAD and hand-finished by master jewellers in Birmingham.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"6,3,0\"\u003eOfficial Collaboration: Produced with the kind permission of the Ruskin Museum and the Campbell Family Heritage Trust.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"6,4,0\"\u003eCommemorative Packaging: Supplied in a high-quality hinged gift box with a unique data card.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"7\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"7\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"8\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"8,0,0\"\u003eMaterial: Reclaimed Bluebird K7 Aluminium alloyed with Hallmarked 925 Sterling Silver.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"8,1,0\"\u003eWeight: 250 grammes (total packaged weight).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"8,2,0\"\u003eDimensions: 90 millimetres x 90 millimetres x 60 millimetres (presentation box).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"8,3,0\"\u003eFinish: Hand-polished high shine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"8,4,0\"\u003eCertification: Includes a Certificate of Authenticity signed by Gina Campbell QSO.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Icarus Originals","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56974750024063,"sku":"IC55","price":199.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0949\/8388\/1087\/files\/Jaguar_resized.png?v=1783517894","url":"https:\/\/icarusoriginals.com\/products\/official-bluebird-k7-cufflinks","provider":"Icarus Originals","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
