Redefining the Shape of Time — The PEA001C Ceramic Watch

Time never shouts, yet it shapes everything in its own quiet rhythm. The essence of watchmaking is not speed, but precision and endurance. The PEA001C Ceramic Collection was born from this silent pursuit. It embodies our interpretation of time — an artistic expression that balances rationality and warmth. Through the seamless fusion of high-tech ceramic and Swiss mechanics, PEA001C is not merely a tool for keeping time, but a statement of lifestyle — a philosophy of detail, texture, and timelessness.

Ceramic is a material that appears cool and stoic, yet is full of vitality. To give each PEA001C its perfect texture and feel, we select ultra-fine ceramic powders, press them into form, and subject them to degassing and sintering at over 1400°C — flames that forge resilience into matter. The ceramic shrinks by nearly 20% during this process, requiring watchmakers to calculate deviations in advance to maintain absolute precision. The case then undergoes CNC milling, diamond-tool cutting, and multi-stage hand polishing until it shines with a mirror-like radiance.

Working with ceramic is far more demanding than metal. With hardness approaching sapphire, there is no room for error — each case is a convergence of exact calculation and artisanal mastery. Compared to steel, ceramic is lighter, more scratch-resistant, and corrosion-proof. It is hypoallergenic, colorfast, and unaffected by heat or humidity — time may polish it, but it cannot scar it. Touching its surface reveals a softness akin to fine porcelain — an unmistakable signature of true ceramic artistry.

Beneath the strength of ceramic lies a Swiss soul. The PEA001C is equipped with the renowned Sellita SW200 automatic mechanical movement — a classic caliber known among watchmakers as a “reliable heart.” Beating at 28,800 vibrations per hour, it maintains a rhythm of perfect precision, each second hand sweep fluid and graceful. Its 26 jewels minimize friction, ensuring durability, while offering manual winding, hacking, and a power reserve of approximately 38 hours.

The SW200 is considered one of the most balanced movements in the mid-to-high-end watch segment, combining precision with remarkable stability. Its solid architecture and ease of maintenance have been proven over decades. For the wearer, it symbolizes not just reliability and quality, but a quiet trust in Swiss watchmaking heritage.

The PEA001C continues Laarvee’s signature surrealist design language, redefining the shape of time through flowing, distorted forms. Crafted entirely from high-tech ceramic in an integrated structure, its contours are soft yet tense, as if gently pulled by the ripple of time itself. Light glides across the curved surfaces, creating dreamlike reflections that evoke the motion of time. Minimalism coexists with asymmetry, expressing Laarvee’s distinctive aesthetic of contradiction — the harmony between mechanical precision and emotional artistry. Every glance at the wrist becomes a quiet meditation between reality and illusion.

The wearing comfort of PEA001C is among its most captivating qualities. Its featherlight ceramic reduces wrist pressure, while the warm, smooth touch lingers pleasantly on the skin. Even in cold weather, it never feels harsh or chilly. Every curve of the lugs is ergonomically designed to contour naturally to the wrist. The strap connects seamlessly, offering perfect balance between security and flexibility — a reminder that true luxury is not loud, but quietly thoughtful.

The inspiration behind PEA001C lies in our contemplation of time itself. We envisioned it not merely as a watch, but as a vessel of emotion. It embodies quiet strength — gentle yet resilient like ceramic — and modern elegance that reveals refinement and confidence through simplicity. Each time you wear it, it becomes a dialogue with time and a reflection of your own rhythm of life.

When time becomes wearable art, it ceases to be cold. Through its precise mechanical heart, refined ceramic form, and surrealist design language, PEA001C gives “time” a new texture. It speaks without words, yet reminds us in every moment — true luxury lies not in complexity, but in purity.
