CENTURY, 50 years of Time Gems

Century Time Gems Ltd is headquartered in Nidau, which lies at the heart of the Swiss watchmaking region and is also home to the firm’s production workshops, where every CENTURY watch is born. Headed by Philip W. A. Klingenberg, son of the founder, the Manufacture has always cultivated a sense of elegance and individuality. Different, unique, deliberately independent, CENTURY has, over the decades, come to embody a new, ex- clusive and refined philosophy of time, crafted in an exceptional material: CENTURY sapphire.

COLLECTIONS

CENTURY presents its collections as if displayed in a jewellery case. Rare and more day-to-day timepieces are arranged by different themes, each with its own unique atmosphere. MASTER IMPERIAL is a collection of the most exceptional pieces that showcase CENTURY sapphire cut into the most complex structures, combined with the beauty of precious stones. PRECIOUS ELEGANCE is a luxury watch collection: wreathed in romanticism and poetry, this line is an ode to femininity, cut to measure and finished in mother-of-pearl, satin and diamonds. CONTEMPORARY TIMEPIECE is dedicated to modernity, offering watches with resolutely contemporary attributes, illuminated by the radiance of CENTURY sapphire.

CENTURY sapphire

Transparent, perfectly pure, CENTURY sapphire is the second hardest material in the world after diamonds.  A material that will mould to the incredible creativity of CENTURY’s designers and the magical touch of its master craftsmen who, generation after generation, sculpt and polish each of its facets entirely by hand. This extraordinarily meticulous work is rewarded with a dazzling display of light and colours that has become the most exclusive hallmark of every CENTURY timepiece. To achieve such a performance, the Manufacture borrows techniques from the world of fine jewellery, such as the marquise, brilliant, marquise, rose and emerald cuts.

PHILOSOPHY

“Beyond Imagination” is CENTURY’s cherished motto, which constantly urges the Manufacture to surpass itself while celebrating its ability to transform every second into a moment of pure wonder… It is a state of mind that echoes the spirit of fashion, the inspiration for all of CENTURY’s collections, combining chic ready-to-wear and virtuoso couture creations.
