Swiss Watch Brand CENTURY Celebrates 60th Anniversary with the Release of the 'Midnight Sun' Anniversary Model

CENTURY is proud to announce the release of the 'Midnight Sun' anniversary model in September 2026, celebrating the brand's 60th anniversary. The suggested retail price is 2,750,000 JPY (tax included).

Sixty Years of Radiance and Passion

Founded in 1966 near Bienne, Switzerland, <CENTURY> was born from the vision of its founder, Hans Ulrich Klingenberger: to create a timepiece that perfectly harmonizes beauty and durability. The brand's patented 'Megalith Structure' technology produces a sapphire case that combines delicate elegance with practical 10-bar water resistance, revolutionizing the watch industry. Each piece is meticulously hand-faceted by master craftsmen, truly making it a 'Gem of Time.' In 2000, CENTURY opened its first boutique in Ginza, Tokyo, introducing its unique world to Japanese watch enthusiasts. True to its name, the eternal brilliance of CENTURY ascends to new heights at this 60-year milestone.

The Anniversary Model

From the brand's iconic 'Midnight Sun' collection comes a special anniversary model celebrating 60 years of excellence. Three decades after its debut, this 'Gem of Time' stands as a testament to the artisans' unparalleled craftsmanship.

Crafted from 'CENTURY Sapphire' with a Mohs hardness of 9, this model features 192 precisely hand-cut facets. It beautifully integrates white mother-of-pearl, diamonds, and 18K yellow gold. Paired with gem-set lugs and an ivory satin-textured calfskin strap, this timepiece captures eternal brilliance within a pure prism.

About the Midnight Sun

Launched in 1997 as a collection embodying the brand philosophy 'Beyond Imagination,' the 'Midnight Sun' captivates with its deep transparency. Inspired by the midnight sun, this iconic timepiece has been cherished by collectors for its timeless aura. In 2026, on the 30th anniversary of its debut, it returns with a new interpretation as a special anniversary edition.

A Prism Reflecting Eternity

The white mother-of-pearl dial, adorned with a diamond ring, captivates the viewer. Diamond-set lugs on both sides seamlessly integrate the case with the ivory satin-textured calfskin strap, achieving a luxurious, jewelry-like finish.

CENTURY Sapphire: The Megalis Structure

CENTURY's proprietary 'Megalith Structure' technology creates a case with the beauty and unity of a single sculpted sapphire. While ensuring 10-bar water resistance, the transparent sapphire structure protects the inner workings of the watch. This anniversary model is a testament to our uniqueness and pure passion for horological art.

A Jubilee Illuminated by Light

The 192 precisely hand-faceted surfaces on the difficult-to-machine sapphire transform with every ray of light, weaving an overwhelming story of brilliance on the wrist. The harmonious resonance of exquisite materials reflects the Maison's aesthetic, the culmination of 60 years of craftsmanship. It radiates a breathtaking beauty and supreme presence that captivates all who see it.
