“Great Watches Are Not Made Great, They Are Worn Great.” Ft. Carbon Fiber Watch

Using carbon fiber composites, watch brands and consumers alike can enjoy distinctive cases with distinctive aesthetics thanks to these composites. In the 1980s, carbon fiber reinforced polymer—also known as carbon fiber or carbon composite—became widely used in sectors like aerospace and Formula 1. Even before Thomas Edison's invention of the light bulb, Joseph Swan had already developed a method of producing carbon fibers for use in light bulbs by heating cotton thread or bamboo slivers to high temperatures and then carbonizing them.

“It is challenging for watch brands to entice their customers with even a sliver of uniqueness in their watches; the question is, how can they do this?”

In fact, some forward-thinking companies have gone so far as to develop their own carbon fiber composites after realizing the effectiveness of the latest composite types.

Composites are bound due to the way they are made (layers of fiber sheets are positioned at different angles to improve the finished material's robustness) considering there is a lot of latitude in -

• the types of carbon that can be used.
• the arrangement of the layers.
• the polymers and resins that can be used. 

 Structure Of The Material In A Finish. 

If you take a look at any watch, you'll notice that each one has a unique finish because it was machined out of the same piece of material from which it was made.

Exclusively with men in mind. 

Carbon fiber lends itself to watch cases for other reasons, however. It is three times stiffer than titanium but weighs two times less than metal. Most men to whom the virile black of such cases appeals will already be familiar with the material from various other areas, such as Formula 1 and yacht racing, or they may even have composites in some of their other possessions, like tennis racquets, golf clubs, or fishing rods. For the same reason, carbon fiber watches are almost exclusively created with men in mind and always maintain the composite's dark black color with a matte or occasionally glossy finish. Some of the innovative materials listed here allow brands to add different colors to the mix, including the luxury sheen of gold.

Material has been the focus.

Carbon composites have a density of 1.7-1.9g/cm3, which is lighter than metals like titanium, steel, and gold, which have densities of around 5g/cm3, 8g/cm3, and 19g/cm3, respectively. This is their main advantage over metals. As a result, a 40g steel watch case will weigh more than 95g in gold but less than 10g in carbon composite. The outstanding lightness has a direct impact on wearability and comfort. For this reason, watchmakers who want to create shock-resistant but lightweight watches have focused on the material.

Lastly: The ideal know-how

Carbon watches are slim and light, keeping the wearer's wrist cool and comfortable while enabling easy and optimal movement. Carbon fiber watches can withstand heat, sweat, corrosion, and even water, making them a modern accessory. 

Carbon appears to be the ideal material for watchmakers like TSAR BOMBA in terms of weight, durability, and aesthetics.
