Watchmaking is an industry that has evolved over time, not only in terms of design and technology, but also in the selection of materials.

Unique Materials in Watchmaking

Modern watches are made from materials ranging from stainless steel and gold to titanium and ceramic. However, there are even more special materials used in watchmaking to create exceptional and unique watches.

CARBON

Carbon is a lightweight and durable material used in the production of high-end watches. There are different types of carbon used in watchmaking, such as forged carbon and TPT (Thin Ply Technology) carbon. Watches made with carbon have a unique and modern appearance. Additionally, the combination of strength and lightness makes it an ideal material for high-performance sports.

Ceramic is a material that has gained popularity in watchmaking in recent years. Ceramic is scratch-resistant, lightweight, and has a unique appearance. Additionally, ceramic is commonly used in sports watches due to its durability.

Titanium is a material commonly used in high-end watchmaking due to its strength and lightness. Titanium is stronger than stainless steel but weighs half as much, making it an ideal material for sports and high-strength watches. Additionally, titanium is hypoallergenic, making it suitable for people with sensitive skin.

FIBERGLASS

Fiberglass is a material that has been used in watch manufacturing, although it is not as common as other materials such as steel, gold, or titanium. Fiberglass is a composite material, consisting of interlaced glass fibers and bonded together by a resin.

Watches made with fiberglass are strong and lightweight, making them ideal for sports watches. Additionally, fiberglass has great impact and corrosion resistance, making it a durable and high-quality material.
