Century Watches

Founded in 1966, by Hans-Ulrich Klingenberg, who was already famous for his amazing inventions. After devising an exclusive system to create a vacuum inside a watch case, he developed what remains one of the distinctive marks of every CENTURY watch: the Megalith. This highly complex construction is used to fuse two discs of sapphire into one inseparable watch case. The combination of such innovations enabled CENTURY to write the first chapter of its illustrious history... Generation after generation, its master craftsmen 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. Nowadays Century Time Gems Ltd is located in Nidau and is head by the founder’s son, Philip W. A. Klingenberg. CENTURY’s motto is “Beyond Imagination”, which constantly urges the Manufacture to surpass itself while celebrating its ability to transform every second into a moment of pure wonder...
