Carbon Capabilities

Carbon fiber is a true modern marvel. This material is made almost entirely of carbon, one of the most common elements on earth. It is incredibly strong and lightweight, able to withstand even the most strenuous of circumstances. In its “natural” form it is a textile. However, it can be made into a more durable form through the addition of plastic and other materials. Some of today’s timepieces make use of carbon fiber with fantastic results.

Stainless Steel Style

The first stainless steel watch was invented in the 1970s. Despite their age, they still have a modern edge that makes them highly desirable. Stainless steel is durable, sophisticated, and attractive. Today’s watchmakers sometimes pair stainless steel with a minimalist silhouette, an aesthetic beloved by modern sensibilities.

For added functionality, it also features a day complication and a central 60-second hand. This watch is bright, elegant, and refined. Its silvery hue makes it effortlessly fashionable and suitable for every outfit.

By giving timepieces internet connectivity and other advanced features, they are able to perform an array of functions.
