Fine Watches and unique Timepieces

Special Summer from Century

Posted by Dennis Ramillo on September 1st, 2008

In the world of glamour and luxury, Century had already established themselves as extraordinary watchmakers. Having the honor of producing the first ever sapphire watches, Century built on that and is now considered one of the best in the production of timepieces with durable sapphire cases.

Sapphire is the second hardest substances next to diamond. Century’s exclusive process involves bonding the middle of the sapphire case to the sapphire crystal. This forms what Century calls as the ‘monolith’, a single unit, and it is further polished and cut with extreme precision according a watch’s design.

Featuring this exclusive technique is the newest watch from Century, an addition to the Prime Time Egos Chronograph GMT, and is aptly called ‘special summer’. This 12-sided, 42mm design is not an entirely new though, just a reincarnation of Century’s signature design that gives tribute to the hot and balmy summer and the magical nights it brings.

The sapphire case is framed by red gold. On the white dial, there are 3 sub-dials showing the seconds, minutes, and the hours. A date indicator is at the 3 o’clock position. The watch can be attached to the wrist using an exotic white alligator strap with red gold deployment clasps. The strap remarkably brings out this watch’s beauty and elegance even more, its white color acting as the perfect opposite compliment to the case’s red gold tint.

Century has once again gifted the world with an exquisite jewelry watch. Not only is this watch beautiful, with its durable, nearly-indestructible case, it could possibly stand the test of time.
