Century Advances into New Design Fields

Century Advances into New Design Fields

Founded in 1966, Century literally carved a niche for itself in the watch industry with its creation of unique timepieces in facetted sapphire.

Today, Fireworks, Egos and Ellipse are playing an important role in the brand's continued development.

Over the years, Century has established a distinctive and exclusive look with its sapphire watches that has become a "classic".

They are handcrafted from a monolith system that consists of a multi-facetted sapphire case and face that are inseparably joined using a chemical process; the sapphire case blank is cut and polished by hand, with the addition of materials such as diamonds, gold, platinum, mother-of-pearl and Chinese lacquer, thus making each watch genuinely unique.

The watches are all water-resistant to 100 metres and fitted with a Swiss quartz movement, or, if desired, a hand-wound or automatic mechanical movement.
