Watches have a tendency to be heirlooms that can pass through multiple generations. Unfortunately, the passage of time can leave its mark even on the most precious items, such as the glass on my grandfather's 1977 Omega Speedmaster, which is now quite scratched. Therefore, the decision to use sapphire glass on all our watches was a crucial personal choice when we founded our own watch brand. This ensures that the ÁIGI watches I wish to pass down to my son and daughter will remain as flawless in the glass as they were when new.
Sapphire Glass - The Ultimate Protection
Sapphire watch crystals has long been recognized as the most durable material for watch crystals. Its remarkable hardness makes it nearly impossible to scratch, and it is this property that makes it the ultimate choice for preserving the beauty and functionality of our watches. By using sapphire glass, you can rest assured that even after years of daily wear, the glass will remain as clear and sparkling as the day you first wore it.
Scratch-Resistant Glass - An Enduring Choice
Choosing watches with sapphire glass is not only an investment in quality but also a choice for eternity. While other types of glass may be susceptible to scratches and damage, sapphire glass provides a reliable barrier against wear and tear. This means that when the time comes for your children to inherit these watches, they will be able to enjoy an untouched beauty, without worrying about wear or damage to the glass.
The Future of Your Inherited Watches
As I look at the scratched surface of my grandfather's Omega Speedmaster, I understand the importance of choosing watches with sapphire glass for the future. By investing in watches with this scratch-resistant glass, I ensure that my inherited watches will remain as brilliant and flawless as the day they were made. So when the time comes for my children to inherit these watches, they will not only receive a gift of time, but also a gift of timeless beauty.
