CARBON COMPOSITES

The extraordinary properties of carbon composites make them a technical material valued for manufacturing external parts (case, dial, hands) (cases, straps, dials) and, anecdotally, of Movement components (Movement.

Woven carbon

WOVEN CARBON FIBRE

When we talk about woven carbon fibre, we are generally referring to a composite material reinforced with Carbon fibre. It is the best-known form of Carbon composite. It is valued for its strength and lightness.

Forged carbon

FORGED CARBON (cut fibres)

Like woven carbon fibre, Forged carbon fibre is a composite whose resin Die is reinforced with Carbon fibre. In the case of Forged carbon, the fibres are not woven, but cut into segments a few millimetres long and mixed into the Die at a variable density.

Carbon nanotube

CARBON NANOTUBES (CNT)

Carbon nanotubes are particular molecular forms of carbon, like fullerenes. They consist of one or more sheets of atoms rolled up on themselves, thus forming tubes with a diameter between 0.5 and 6 nanometres, and a length of a few micrometres. They are used in composites, and their mechanical, electrical and thermal conductivity properties make them particularly interesting for numerous technological applications
