Press release
When time and light engage in conversation...
Since 1999, the powerful and timeless aesthetic of CENTURY brand's emblematic model DRAGON STONE has made a lasting impression. The perfect geometry and strong lines of the watch case quickly became an identifiable signature of the watchingmaking House. In its centre it houses a CENTURY sapphire, an inalterable jewel whose dodecagonal shape and facets are cut and polished by hand by master artisans. To perfect this majestic silhouette, the case is paired with a bracelet of delicately articulated links and wave-shaped attachments; other distinctive symbols which have made the DRAGON STONE collection so renowned.
To celebrate its 8th anniversary and preserve the magic of the myth, CENTURY is offering an exceptional version equipped with a sublime hand-crafted, self-winding, skeleton movement. An elegantly light construction whose ballet dance of gears and balance spring provide endless enchantment. A spectacle choreographed by master artisans who engrave, pierce and sculpt the movement's components by hand, piece by piece. This fascinating transparency is where time engages in a refined conversation with the glittering light of the sapphire and the shimmer of baguette-cut diamonds. To play with contrasts, the “Feuille” hour and minute hands are in blued steel and the name of the brand is delicately screen printed onto the sapphire.
Touched by rays of light, the DRAGON STONE SKELETON model transforms into a work of art shimmering with a thousand fires. The infinite play of shapes and colours is a pure enchantment for the senses, an invitation to dream...
A masterpiece of flawless proportions, DRAGON STONE SKELETON is the ultimate tribute to perfectionism and beauty. For either the white gold or yellow gold model, the sapphire blends with the colour of the metal being dressed in palladium or golden hue.
