Lastly, the tiles are glazed and cut to perfection. Heat is distributed unevenly throughout the kiln which gives zellige its incredible variation.Įvery zellige tile is an expression of the artisan’s work that day-beautifully imperfect and unique. Each piece of zellige is hand dipped in glaze and then methodically placed in an earthen kiln. Zellige tiles are flattened and shaped by hand and left to dry further. These pieces are then placed side by side and left to dry in the bright Moroccan sun. At this point, the clay becomes a soft, malleable substance that can be placed into various molds. Our craftsmen start with raw clay, which they soak in water and hand filter for impurities. Historically used in geometric and floral shapes in the most beautiful palaces, zellige tile is now becoming more widely available. Moroccan zellige (zellij) requires true craftsmanship. Please ensure that the tile is laid by an installer with experience installing cement tile. Proper installation and protection of cement tile is key. The pigment layer is hydraulically pressed into the surface and becomes a part of the tile.
They derive their durability from the combination of finely dehydrated cement and a coarse sand and cement layer.
Cement tiles are not fired there is no glaze layer on the surface of the tile. The individual patterns are made by manually applying separate pigments, one by one, in a handmade brass mold.

If you are looking for a good first IWC or good first nice timepiece, this Aquatimer comes in at a reasonable price point with the value of being an iconic chronograph in the watch community. Striking watch on wrist! Great to wear everyday and dress up or down. Do pay attention to the pictures as they are very representative of condition, but do excuse any dust/lint in the photos as we photograph all our watches outdoors in natural lighting/conditions. This IWC is clean with only typical minor wear as pictured I did not find it necessary to refinish prior to listing, but may decide to have a local watchmaker to you reifinish it if you choose to after the purchase as it’s always subjective. Super comfortable piece on wrist with classic IWC Aquatimer styling, a timeless watch in my opinion!
