History of watch development, we were surprised to find, including the tourbillon, the three asked the most complex functions, including the timing as early as 200 years ago had already been invented finished; but until the early 20th century in the material, stainless steel Before the advent of all there has never been any significant innovation. But a closer look can be relieved – was extremely backward technological level, and even metal waterproofing materials are made out, not to mention the high-tech ceramics class.

High-tech ceramics, this issue has been repeatedly introduced, it is a zirconia-based mineral powder (powder particle diameter of less than 1 micron) in the high temperature of about 1500 ° C sintered. And traditional Chinese ceramics have a stable physical and chemical properties, waterproof and high temperature fade resistance to corrosion and surface moist perfection, to exude a soft natural luster.

Wear objects, high-tech ceramic table there are several significant advantages, first, light; the second is extremely resistant, unlike the steel table and a gold watch as easily be scratched; will not cause skin irritation; Fourth, the low cost of raw materials; Also add a stylish – stainless steel and other traditional materials no matter how processing can not show pure black and pure white, but that is long high-tech ceramic.

Say that everything has a rule, the more advantages and shortcomings of the more deadly, high-tech ceramic has so many advantages, do not find any defects you? The person in charge of a well-known Swiss watch factory had to disclose to the Articles, they plant there is no reason why a big way, the use of high-tech ceramics (currently limited to manufacturing bezel), it is because the high-tech ceramics is technically there are several issues does not solve the , for example, the “lipophilic”, we may have noticed that high-tech ceramics coated with oil is difficult to handle, rub rub not clean, can not use dish detergent to wash; Then there are its texture and color is still relatively simple, it is difficult to cut and polished, also limits the style of the watch, not like the steel table and a gold watch – a variety of color, a variety of angular curve, a variety of drawing polishing process are arbitrary.

But the person in charge of the watch factory is also very sure that high-tech ceramics is the future of the watch. Their factory has also invested a lot of manpower and resources in the research and development of high-tech ceramics, and when to solve these two problems, when you can completely replace the stainless steel, rather than as they are now used to do local decorative.
