Precision Timepieces Engineered by a Watch House, Not a Reseller

High-tech ceramic is sintered from zirconium oxide powder above 1,400 °C. The result is a case roughly four times harder than stainless steel, hypoallergenic on skin, colour-stable under UV light and highly resistant to everyday scratching. Steel is easier to re-polish after a hard knock, which is why we use ceramic for dress-forward references such as Serica and steel for tool-oriented designs.

Cases in the Waterproof and Aqua Fiber ranges are pressure-checked after gasket assembly and again after final casing-up. The sequence is dry-then-wet: vacuum and over-pressure checks confirm gasket seating, followed by an immersion condensation check. Any unit showing moisture ingress is rejected before packing.

Quartz gives roughly ±15–20 seconds per month with two to three years of battery life and the lowest service burden. An automatic is wound by wrist motion, uses no battery and is chosen for mechanical craftsmanship and long-term serviceability. A smartwatch adds Bluetooth calling, health tracking and notifications but needs charging every few days.

Maxima belongs to the PA group, which started with mechanical watch spares, progressed to complete mechanical movements in Swiss collaboration, and moved to quartz movement manufacturing in the late 1980s. Case design, movement selection, assembly and quality control are therefore handled in-house rather than outsourced wholesale.

Maxima timepieces carry a manufacturer warranty against material and workmanship defects; coverage limits and service steps are published on the warranty page. Authorised service touchpoints can be found through the store locator, and product questions are answered through the general FAQs and contact page.
