THE DRAGON STONE: FEMININE SAPPHIRE ENERGY

60 years of history, 60 years of light: Maison Century reaffirms its calling to sculpt time through a prism of infinite colors. Since its inception in 1966, the expertise of the Artisans of Light has been honed to offer radiant creations, designed for those who view watchmaking as a celebration of joy and harmony. The Dragon Stone anniversary edition is now dressed in steel, providing a showcase of light for a rich palette of shades crafted to exalt radiant personalities. At the heart of this sculptural monolith, polished steel embraces a plurality of dials, enhanced by the hypnotic brilliance of a sapphire featuring 36 hand-cut facets. This Time Gem now crowns a family passion where technical rigor comes alive through the pure pleasure of colors and movement.

A Heritage sculpted in Light

Establishing its prestige through the exacting standards of matter and technical precision, the manufacture has seen its identity flourish over the decades, making woman its primary source of inspiration. This historical expertise has naturally evolved into a devotion to feminine grace and inner strength, with every piece designed as a vibrant tribute to her uniqueness. For this jubilee, the Dragon Stone model is reinvented in a steel version that combines protective robustness with absolute delicacy. The Artisans of Light have designed this model as a radiant talisman – a perfect synthesis of the Maison’s history and its contemporary vision of elegance.

The Radiance of Purple: A Feminine Confidante

At the heart of this powerful architecture lies the CENTURY sapphire, a material of exceptional hardness (Mohs scale 9). Thanks to the Megalith system, an exclusive structural construction, the manufacture achieves a sculptural monolith of perfect unity. The 32 mm dodecagonal case, with its 36 hand-cut and hand-polished facets, acts as a prism capturing every ray to transform it into a hypnotic kaleidoscope.

The metallic purple dial unfolds a captivating and magnetic aura, punctuated by elegant indices alternating between Roman numerals and batons, swept over by noble dauphine hands.The wave-shaped lugs, a fluid signature of the collection, allow the steel bracelet to embrace the curves of the wrist with unparalleled grace and comfort.

The Soul of Time: The Heritage of an Icon

The excellence of this anniversary edition extends into its technical prowess. Crafted to defy time, the steel Dragon Stone houses a Swiss Made quartz movement, ensuring irreproachable precision. The Megalith structural construction guarantees a remarkable water-resistance of 100 meters (10 bar), making this sculptural monolith a piece as resilient as it is refined. Every detail, from the dauphine hands to the discreetly integrated crown, bears witness to the high artisanal standards that have driven the Nidau manufacture for six decades.

Philip W.A. Klingenberg, CEO of CENTURY: “This timepiece embodies our philosophy: transforming eternal matter into pure emotion that accompanies every woman in her own story.”
