ARTYA
World Premiere
ArtyA is the specialist in high quality watch cases made entirely of sapphire. This know-how is used in the brand's main collections such as Son of Earth, Son of Gears, Son of Sea, Son of a Gun and high complications. After years of research and development, ArtyA is proud to present a new world first: NanoSapphire cases that are entirely two-tone in the mass !
To achieve this ArtyA has used a high temperature multi-component combination of two main oxides - SiO2 and Al2O3. These oxides are key components of most natural gemstones. A temperature of 1700°C (compared to 700°C for glass) is required to synthesize this material. ArtyA was able to adapt this technology to create an extremely hard and difficult to machine homogeneous material specifically optimized for watchmaking and thus became since 2017 the first company in the world to use it in a watch case in addition to our pure sapphire collections.
NanoSapphire has an incredible hardness, 7 on the Mohs scale, which is much higher than glass (5 on the Mohs scale), this guarantees the durability of this beautiful material that plays with light.
