Wrist ceramic watch
Increasingly, manufacturers of accessories and jewelry pay attention to unusual materials - quartz, rubber or ceramics. The latter is in special demand. For example, the basis of a wrist ceramic watch is hardened clay, which is distinguished by high strength and modern design.
Features and benefits
Initially, ceramics was just a tricky move, an advertising slogan for watchmakers. Gaining popularity, ceramic bracelets and watches entered the group of classical materials for the manufacture of wrist accessories.
The first company that offered a novelty - Rado. This brand has made ceramics an exquisite and stylish addition to the image. Following her elegant models released Lancaster, Chanel and Dior.
Ceramic watches are a brand. Each watch manufacturer is trying to produce women's and men's collections, which are based on this material.
Benefits:
- hypoallergenic - hardened clay in a certain way does not irritate the skin, is pleasant to the skin and is practically not felt on the wrist;
- resistance to mechanical damage - unlike silicone, the material does not tarnish, does not rub as a skin and does not darken as iron. The lifetime of ceramic watches is very long;
- versatility. Ceramics is suitable for any style of clothing: classics, ethnic and even romance. The watches look stylish in any color - black, white or colored are used by both men and women;
- ease - ceramics alloys lighter than titanium materials;
- simplicity in care and wear;
- the cost. It depends on the brand name, additional details, design and material of the internal mechanism. In aggregate, the price is lower than on metal and leather models.
How to choose
The classic and most popular models are white ceramic watches. They are best suited for summer, easy to hand and versatile.
Durability - one of the main criteria when choosing. Standard manufacturing technology allows you to make material comparable to the hardness of the diamond. To do this, the clay is mixed with a metal powder (lanthanum), the material is hardened, after which it acquires a high resistance to damage.
Details of the internal mechanism consist of quartz or metal. In the first case, the lifetime is lower, you need to change the battery, but they do not need to start. In the second case, the clock works longer, but they need to be periodically tightened and reinstalled time.
