------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Zalium was developed by Ronald Winston, a noted chemical engineer, who, like his father, Harry Winston,knew how to distinguish a great diamond from a good one. As an MIT (Massachusetts Institute ofTechnology) researcher of rocket propellants, he became an expert in the special zirconium alloys used injet and rocket engines. He realized that a metal that could withstand superheated corrosive gasses in thehigh-stress interior of a rocket motor would be perfect for the creation of an indestructible wristwatch. Inaddition, zirconium is non-reactive and hypo-allergenic (it is used to make surgical implants andinstruments), harder than titanium and almost as light. Its lustre hints at the fact that it is more commonlyfound on the moon than on Earth. Ronald Winston identified one zirconium alloy that seemed to give offa special gleam. He named it Zalium for zirconium (Zr) and the allium lily.Its hue is a matte battleship grey with a celestial lustre and a dark, sophistcated gleam. The case has mobile lugs for comfort on the wrist, and those “in the know” will recognise Harry Winston’semblematic motif protecting the crown.-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
