Carbon fiber composite material in the watch industry has been popular for a long time, its appearance to the watch has brought a unique case shape and unique aesthetics.
Carbon fiber's industrial development dates back to 1860, when Joseph Swan turned carbon fiber into filament. Thomas Edison took advantage of this idea by baking cotton thread or bamboo strips at high temperatures, carbonizing them and eventually making carbon fiber.Since the 1980s, carbon fiber has been widely used in the space shuttle, formula 1 racing cars and other industries.
In the world of luxury goods, watches are not only sophisticated timekeeping products, but also fashionable decorations. All brands try their best to provide unique products for customers.So carbon fiber has been used by designers in watches, but it is difficult to produce carbon fiber. Carbon fiber has great flexibility, and it can only be fixed with polymers and resins
Carbon fibre lends itself to watch cases for other reasons, compared to metals, the main advantage of carbon composites is lightness – it has a density of 1.7-1.9g/cm3, compared to approximately 5g/cm3 for titanium, 8g/cm3 for steel and 19g/cm3 for gold. So a watch case that weighs 40g in steel will be more than 95g in gold but less than 10g in carbon composite. That impressive lightness has a direct effect on wearability and comfort. For this very reason, the material has been the focus of watchmakers who want to create shock-resistant but light watches
Sleek and lightweight, carbon watches keep the wearer’s wrist cool and comfortable, allowing for optimal movement and ease. Boasting heat, sweat, corrosion, and water resistant benefits, the carbon fiber watch is strength and appeal in one uber-modern accessory. When it comes to lightness, durability or looks alone, carbon really does seem to be every watchmaker’s ideal savoir-faire.
If you want to use carbon fiber, CuSn8 Bronze, German Bronze or other materials to make your watch, zhenpin watch can provide you with a variety of watch samples and solutions.
