Harden Up With A Ceramic Watch

Though the word “ceramics” probably conjures images of easily shattered houseware, what the term actually refers to is any substance fired together over 900 degrees Fahrenheit, leading, in some cases, to the most durable and high-tech materials manufactured today. Ceramics are more than what your morning coffee mug is made of.

The ceramics used in modern watches are scratch-proof, lightweight and extremely thin. Forget what you thought you knew about ceramics—these timepieces are a whole new world.

Shatter-Proof

Though you try to take care of your possessions, life happens, and your watch can easily get banged up. With a ceramic bezel, however, the tensile strength of your watch’s face won’t bend or break under pressure. This material is so durable, it’s even used in the production of body armor and cars. When you’re wearing your ceramic watch, live as rough as you want to.

Scratch-Proof

A ceramic bezel won’t ever let you down, but you also have to look out for the band of your watch. Metal bands can scratch, rust and tarnish, but if you choose a ceramic band you’ll be sure to have a fresh-looking watch for years to come. A clean white ceramic finish stands out from the crowd of leather and metal bands—try it with an all-white ensemble of white slacks and an ivory button-down for a striking look.

Lightweight

Ceramic is an ideal material for watches not only because it’s durable, but also because it won’t weigh you down. A metal watch, though you might not notice its weight from day to day, does strain your arms and wrists. Slip on a ceramic-face watch with your business suit and you’ll immediately notice the difference.

Embrace the future of watchmaking technology. Ditch your heavy, scratchable metal watches and go for a ceramic option that won’t let you down.

Ceramics have come a long way from your china closet—watches crafted in this material are high-tech wonders worthy of an investment.
