Watch Material - Carbon Fiber

Carbon fiber material (Cabon Fiber) is widely used in watch making area.


Carbon black . Currently the vast majority of the market are polypropylene fibers are made of solid -phase carbonization . The production process can be divided into pre- nutrient , carbon , graphite , and several other steps , the basic product of carbon content above 90% . Carbon fiber research and development production threshold is high , the production from the precursor to the carbonization process are complex and stringent technical requirements. The world has many countries, including China can produce carbon fiber , but when talking about size and quality and production capacity , today as Japan, the world 's carbon fiber production Guo Zui Da . Mitsubishi , Toray , Toho three companies of the global output of carbon fiber 80% , and the three companies have been expansion in recent years to meet market demand.

In tabulating the industry , the carbon material is mainly applied in the dial and case of manufacturing . Watch carbon materials , manufacturers and more choice in style on the campaign to highlight your fashion personality and rare features . If Hublot and TAG Heuer sports watch brands such as more or less use of carbon fiber materials . But must point out that some traditional classical old brand , the preservation of traditional crafts and ideas , it is also boldly absorb and draw on modern science and technology , in the traditional classic styles on different levels of use of carbon fiber materials . If the United States it 's 90 degrees in the anniversary edition , by the successful use of carbon fiber dial , deliberately clever blend of retro and modern and limited sale . BELL & ROSS is the carbon fiber chassis with a good combination of tourbillon movement with , plus the titanium case of abrasive blasting , even more luxurious .

Watch parts with carbon fiber is not easy . Manufacturing, the only case in the development of mold on the effort -consuming , but also choose what type of resin with carbon fiber and which have very high technical . Forging and heat curing is very important, is by no means a simple process can achieve . Such as Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Carbon Concept Tourbillon watch , It uses a forged carbon case , the manufacturing process is quite complicated . Simply put , we must first create the actual case size , shape are the same metal mold , while within the mold release agent spray , in order to be finished after molding and mold separation . And then selecting the toner together with the resin into the mold into high temperature curing, after reaching a certain temperature by forming its shape . And the curing and molding process is repeated several times may be required to get the final product , which is called " forging process. " Moreover, some case to pursue more sophisticated visual , but also in forging after grinding , to achieve improvements.

The dial is made even more difficult operation . The key is to pre- invasion production of material to be very meticulous process , development of fiber column arrangement, the proportion of resin models , making the speed and temperature control , go through rigorous testing repeated . Ensuring the fiber strength and smoothness , while not the slightest flaw , otherwise it will affect the movement of the work and beauty.
