Features and Benefits
Initially, ceramics was just a cunning move, an advertising slogan for watchmakers. Gaining popularity, ceramic bracelets and watches have entered the group of classic materials for making wrist accessories.
The first company to offer a novelty - Rado. It was this brand that made ceramics an exquisite and stylish addition to the image. Following her, elegant models were released Lancaster, Chanel and Dior.
Ceramic watches are a brand. Each watch manufacturer tries to produce women's and men's collections, which are based on this material.

How to choose
The classic and most popular models are white ceramic watches. They are best for summer, light on the hand and versatile.
Strength is one of the main selection criteria. Standard manufacturing technology allows you to make a material comparable to the hardness of diamond. To do this, clay is mixed with metal powder (lanthanum), the material is hardened, after which it becomes highly resistant to damage.
Parts of the internal mechanism are made of quartz or metal. In the first case, the service life is lower, it is necessary to change the battery, but they do not need to be started. In the second case, the clock runs longer, but they need to be periodically twisted and reset.
