The
new material is made of a mix of gold, aluminium and boron carbide -
it's the only rust-proof and scratch-proof 18-carat gold alloy ever
created, and can only be scratched with a diamond
Swiss watchmaker, Hublot, revealed their latest wonder watch for men. The indestructible 18-carat gold watch for men is immune to rust; is impossible to scratch (except with a diamond); and is harder than most steel alloys. Swiss watchmaker Hublot is well-known for its hi-tech Big Bang range, and often unveils timepieces in materials such as carbon fiber.
But this year, the watch giant is set to unveil an entirely new alloy – called ‘Magic Gold’ – which is the first-ever ‘indestructible’ 18-carat gold.
It’s completely immune to rust, and can only be scratched with a
diamond. The first watches using the metal will be on show at the
Baselworld watch show in March next year.
This pioneering gold alloy is a first for the Swiss watch industry
and is a clear demonstration on why Swiss Made watches are some of the
most covetable watches for men and for women in the world. At eWatches, we carry a large variety of Swiss Made watches at vastly discounted prices.
