Our dedication to excellence begins with selecting only the most refined materials for our accessories.
Engineering Excellence
The use of aluminum for the structures and frames of our products is a direct reflection of our founders’ backgrounds in engineering. This high-performance metal is a staple in aerospace engineering, where maintaining structural integrity under extreme conditions is paramount. Whether subjected to intense pressure or temperature fluctuation, aluminum remains resilient and maintains its pristine form.
Even though our watch accessories are not going to space just yet, Charles Simon works with aero-space grade aluminum to ensure that our products withstand the turbulences of daily wear and remain in exquisite condition for a long time.
Light as Air, Strong as Steel
One of aluminum’s key advantages is its high strength-to-weight ratio. Compared to other metals, it offers remarkable durability without unnecessary bulk, allowing our accessories to remain sleek, lightweight and functional.
“Aluminum is the engineer’s material of choice—light, durable, and endlessly versatile. Using it for our products allows us to deliver design-driven functionality, by creating accessories that are light and sleek enough to feel effortlessly convenient but strong enough to last a lifetime.”
The Anodization Process
Anodization is an advanced electrochemical process that strengthens aluminum by thickening its natural oxide layer. This treatment to the aluminum frames and external parts of our accessories results in a surface that is highly resistant to corrosion, wear, and scratches, preserving the integrity and aesthetic quality for years to come.
Unlike coatings or paints, anodization is not a superficial layer—it becomes an integral part of the metal itself, ensuring that the finish will not peel, fade, or chip.
Make Your Choice
Beyond durability, anodization also allows for stunning color finishes. Controlled electrochemical processes achieve deep, rich hues that exude visual and tactile excellence.
Choose between grey, black and champagne anodization finishes to customize your Charles Simon accessory according to your preference.
