316L Stainless Steel
Durable. Hypoallergenic. Timeless.
We use only high-quality 316L stainless steel, also known as "surgical steel." The "L" stands for "low carbon." Thanks to its low carbon content, this stainless steel is especially resistant to corrosion, hypoallergenic, and extremely durable—perfect for cases and bracelets designed for everyday wear!
Genuine Leather
Natural. Full of Character. Comfortable.
Our straps are made from carefully selected genuine leather and proudly carry the “Made in Germany” label. This applies to both the production and the craftsmanship. Each strap tells its own story and develops a distinctive patina over time.
Sapphire Crystal
Clear View. No Scratches.
In all our watches—regardless of the price category—we exclusively use scratch-resistant sapphire crystal, one of the hardest materials after diamond. With a rating of 9 on the Mohs scale of hardness, you don’t have to worry about scratches. Whether flat or domed, the crystal offers maximum scratch resistance and exceptional clarity, enhanced by the anti-reflective coating on the inner side of the glass.
What does the anti-reflective coating do?
It significantly reduces light reflections and improves legibility in daylight—especially beneficial for darker dials.
Lab-Grown Diamonds
Conscious. Elegant. Forward-Thinking.
Since the middle of this year, we’ve made the decision to transition from natural diamonds to lab-grown diamonds. This choice marks a conscious step toward greater transparency — without any compromise on the beauty or quality of our stones.
What are Lab-Grown Diamonds?
Lab-grown diamonds are created under controlled laboratory conditions. They are composed of pure carbon and share the same chemical, physical, and optical characteristics as natural diamonds. The only difference lies in their origin: While natural diamonds are formed deep within the Earth, lab-grown diamonds are produced in just a few weeks using advanced technology. The result is a diamond with the same hardness, brilliance, and beauty as a natural one.
