Ceratanium® porcelain titanium is a very important material innovation achievement of IWC in recent years. The main component of Ceratanium® is a titanium alloy forged according to the special requirements of IWC. The various parts of the case are machined from bar stock on a computer-controlled turning and milling center with extremely low tolerances, and after hand-finishing, the parts are sent to a kiln for high temperature firing. A phase transition occurs during firing. As a result, the surface of the material not only achieves a hard and scratch-resistant property similar to that of ceramics, but also has a striking matt black finish.
