Company
K&BROS is a registered brand of parent company Diffusione Orologi
S.R.L.. It came to life after the transformation of the old brand
“Klipper”, which was created by the company founder in the
Fifties. Now it can boast a fifty-year-long experience in the
watch industry. The Giglio family has a distinctive quality in
the art of making watches and its members still create models
with an innovative and fascinating design. The care for details
and high-quality mechanisms have never changed during time. The
choice of a young target and the wide range of available styles
and models, following market trends, have soon transformed K&BROS
into the world of watches.
Concept
K&BROS watches are versatile and easy to wear and match. The care
for details makes them precious from a technical point of view.
Their strengths consist of interpreting and understanding current
fashion trends, always preserving their high–quality standards.
Design
All K&BROS collections are characterized by an innovative design.
A group of spets, who always research perfect geometrical
shapes, creates ingenious, elegant and fashionable designs. Watch
cases are made of the best steel and plastic materials. Moreover
they are combined with leather straps and top-quality synthetic
materials and embellished with Mother-of-Pearl,
Swarovski-crystals, high quality leathers and ceramics.
Innovative Materials:
CORIAN:
Corian is an advanced blend of natural materials and pure
acrylic. Its durability, geneity, resistance and the ease
with which it can be processed make it a suitable material for
several s of application, both commercial and residential:
the restaurant industry, the hotel industry, the nautical field,
hospitals and other public spaces. Corian is waterproof, inert
material and it is non-toxic. It is also used in the production
of tools and furniture for kitchens and bathrooms. Since it is a
compact material with geneous colours and veins, it does not
fade nor delaminate and it stands up well to a prolonged exposure
under UV rays. Corian is resistant to blows and scratches, and
this makes it particularly suitable for the production of items
normally subject to the wear caused by time. All these
characteristics, along with its versatility, have brought K&BROS
to choose this innovative material for its new watches collection
called CORIAN watches: an innovative material for a unique style.
ACETATE:
Cellulose acetate was first prepared by Paul Schutzenberger in
1865. Some years later, Little in the US and Bronnert in Germany
simultaneously produced cellulose acetate filaments, which were
in actual fact cellulose triacetate, which differs in that it
does not easily dissolve in common solvents. At a commercial
level, cellulose acetate is made from processed wood pulp, so it
comes from a renewable source and it is biodegradable. Typical
properties of this material include: good toughness, deep gloss,
high transparency and a tactile feeling that can be described as
‘natural’. Inspired by the very first spectacles frames, wholly
made of cellulose acetate sheets, K&BROS creates a line totally
dedicated to the use of this elegant material. This
Seventies-style collection is called OPTICAL and it is
characterized by the use of coloured concentric circles, in
contrast with the other predominating colours of the case.
POLYCARBONATE:
Polycarbonate is a polyester of carbonic . Polycarbonate
shows a good resistance to mineral s, petrol, s, oils and
water (below 70 degrees Centigrade), but its most distinctive
characteristics are the mechanical ones: its capability of
lengthening, its high-resistance to blows and bendings, its
lightweight and the fact that it can be easily carved.
Polycarbonate’s versatility allows a wide use of this material in
several fields: in optics, in electronics, in the building
sector, in the transport sector and even in the medical sector.
Its transparency and its light transmission capability makes
polycarbonate an innovative and alternative material widely used
in the last few years also in a traditional field such as the
watches. Being a pioneer in this field, K&BROS, always looking
for technologically advanced materials with high-resistance, has
been among the first companies in Italy to understand its
potentialities and to exploit its characteristics. With the
ICE-TIME line, K&BROS has set its own designers’ fantasy free and
this, along with polycarbonate’s distinctive characteristics, has
given birth to a collection like no other.
ZIRCONIA CERAMIC:
Zirconia ceramic is among the highest quality kinds of fine
ceramics. It contains high-purity zirconium and it is harder and
tougher both than metal and normal kinds of ceramic (its hardness
degree is second only to diamonds), it is inert to and
corrosive substances and it shows a high level of brightness.
Starting from the Sixties, Zirconia ceramic was used in America
for the production of television components, then it was used in
the most different fields, from electronic components to
automobile parts, up to its most modern applications in the
surgical field and in the field. Its distinctive
resistance and brightness have inspired some companies in the
watches and jewels field; among all of them, K&BROS has managed
to exalt its brightness using it for the creation of a line of
ceramic-made watches called C-901. K&BROS, always ready to
explore the rtunities offered by new materials, chooses this
ceramic to match its multiple qualities with the elegance of a
young Italian-design style.
STAINLESS STEEL:
Stainless steel 316L is the more expensive and tougher version of
stainless steel 316, with a lower content of carbon. Compared
with the traditional nickel and chromium alloys, this material
shows a greater compactness and a higher resistance to corrosion,
a higher rupture and tensile strength, and a greater weldability.
The ease of fabrication which characterize stainless steel 316L
has determined its use in the many fields: from cookware to
surgical instruments, from building materials to ceutical
industry, from petroleum refining equipment to textile equipment.
The use of this quality of stainless steel in watches has always
been a prerogative of some pioneers, who have seen in the high
quality of this material, a mark of distinction from the masses.
K&BROS has seen in the determined and reliable character of this
material the key qualities which have inspired the STEEL-MAN and
STEEL-WOMAN collection: reliability and high quality without
renouncing to elegance and design.
A stylish timepiece, this Pulsar Crystal
Collection ladies’ watch has a polished and brushed two-tone
stainless steel case and bracelet. 26 Swarovski crystals adorn
the bezel highlighting a white dial. A chic addition to everyday
attire, the watch is 30 meters water resistant.
