Ceramic and Swarovski in our watch of the week
Ceramic is a broad term and generally refers to materials that are formed into solid products through a firing process above 900 °C. It is one of the oldest materials and is used in many different ways. In watchmaking, ceramic has recently gained a lot of importance as a material for cases, but especially for bezels. New, durable, and hard-wearing forms of ceramic are used here.
Swarovski is an Austrian manufacturer, especially of cut crystal glass, with global distribution. Today, the brand is known worldwide and appears in the context of many different industries. Whether in watches, cosmetics, perfume, or as a bottle opener. There are also numerous other collaborations; for example, the company displays a Christmas tree decorated with 5,000 crystals in Zurich main station hall every December. Swarovski not only produces products for end consumers, but also supplies rhinestones and chandelier stones to other manufacturers in the jewelry, fashion, lighting, and interior design industries, as well as glass reflectors for road construction.
