Carbon case watches?

[dnslater]

Forged carbon defiantly is a love or hate kinda thing. It's definitely not a 'steel' feeing material nor does it have any "weight" to it. And because it's composite it is in the 'plastic' family.

It's ultra strong stuff but like ceramic it's brittle so don't drop it or smack it hard.

And if it's not a good forging of material (ie air bubbles, poor layering, etc) it will fall apart and fail.

I love the material. And much prefer the layered forged carbon like how PAM, Helson and H2O did it vs the marble effect of the Magrette and AP pictured above.

It appears that the Magrette is machined rather than injection molded (forged) which is why the rough finish.

Oh yeah. H2O killed it. So nice.

They all have to be machined to achieve the final shape and finish desired. The Magrette pictured is just a bad forging and should have been rejected during case inspection when it was put on the assembly table. A movement should not have even been put inside it. It's one that slipped through as they say.
